Our Premier Award, "Labore &c. Praemium"This award is presented by Keepitsimplestu...(KISS) Websites to encourage simplicity and elegance in website design: Design devoted to enhancing the content of the site, and content designed to enlighten those who use the internet. The idea behind KISS Websites is to make websites that are appealing to the eye and ear, with a minimum of extra activity. No frames and few images are used to improve download time and to be friendly to visitors with less than state-of-the-art equipment. The research and information is credited as well as possible, and the theme of each site is narrowed to maintain the interest of both the visitors and contributors alike. Websites that meet this idea are most likely to receive this award. Many thanks to Noble Al Varelas, U.S.M.C., Decorated Vietnam Combat Veteran, webmaster of Masons in the Military Web Ring and many patriotic sites, for the outstanding graphic used in this award. Also, a grateful tip of the hat to Kurt Kurosawa, webmaster of United States Air Force Heritage of America Band and other top of the line websites for cleaning up our awards graphic and making it reflect the values that we hope to honor in our winners. |
