What is an “ugly” website?
We don’t mean “ugly” in the literal sense, though visual design is important!
Instead, we have a list of best practices that we think every site should meet… like clarity of message, ability to interact with customers, a method to collect leads, and so on. See how your site measures up here.
Who can enter?
The contest is open to any small businesses with 2-20 employees, in business for at least 2 years, and within the metropolitan Richmond Area. Read the full contest rules here.
Can I nominate my own business?
Of course. You can nominate your own business here.
Can I nominate someone else’s business?
Yes, you can nominate any business. We do require you to provide contact info for the business. We will then contact the business to let them know they’ve been nominated. If they agree to participate, they will be entered to win. Nominate a business here.
When do nominations close?
The nomination process will be open from July 1st through August 1st.
How does the selection process work?
We will narrow the nominees to 3-5 sites. We will then open up public voting and the people will decide the winner. (Made it to the short list? Be sure to tell your customers and colleagues to vote for you!)
When will the winner be announced?
Nominations will close on Monday, August 1st. The short list will be compiled and public voting will open on Monday, August 8. The winner will be announced on Monday, August 23.
