MURFREESBORO – The American Association of Webmasters announced today that Murfreesboro-based VW Web Design has been selected to receive the organization’s Gold Award for the United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties’ new Web site. AAWM awards are given to Webmasters and designers who have shown outstanding achievement in Web design, content and creativity.

United Way’s new site was designed by Jim Van Wicklin, the company’s owner, and features photographs taken by local photographer Alison Bynum, which illustrate the agency’s new tagline: LIVE UNITED.

“We see all the hard work and dedication that [VW Web Design] has put into constructing [United Way’s] Web site, and their efforts are well deserved,” said Donna Snyder, CEO, Awards Committee - American Association of Webmasters. “The site displays a nice clean design and layout, with quality content and informative information for your visitors.”

In addition to the new LIVE UNITED message, the site also features an easy-to-use online pledging tool, as well as a current list of the organization’s volunteer opportunities for those wanting to become more involved with the local nonprofit.

“We are extremely grateful to Jim and his team at VW Web Design for so generously donating their time and talent to create an award-winning site for United Way,” said Rachel Holder, president/CEO of United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties. “The site is easy to navigate, beautifully and creatively designed, and will ultimately allow us to further our mission by reaching more people than ever before.”
