Dalton State College Web Design Wins Prestigious "Best In Class" IMA

Posted on Mar 15, 2016


Georgia’s own Dalton State College is honored for excellence in the digital world, winning a 2015 “Best In Class” Web Interactive Media Award.

The Best in Class award is the highest honor bestowed by the Interactive Media Awards, recognizing outstanding achievement in interactive design and development once a year. To receive the Best in Class award, entered websites must excel in all areas of judging criteria and represent a very high standard of planning, execution and overall professionalism. This year’s competition featured sixty-five entries and each was judged on design, content, feature functionality, usability, standards compliance and cross-browser compatibility.

The IMA’s are designed to elevate the standards of excellence on the Internet and offer winners a boost in marketing and exposure. In order to win this award level, sites had to successfully pass through a comprehensive judging process, achieving very high marks in each of the judging criteria - an achievement only a fraction of sites in the IMA competition earn each year.  
Third Wave Digital created the newly redesigned www.daltonstate.edu which boasts a responsive design, interactive campus map, campus calendar, student videos, and an admissions resource center. All these features are backed by Third Wave’s higher education Content Management System TWD.CMS and the site is securely hosted by TWD Host.

This is the 6th IMA “Best In Class” award that Third Wave Digital has won for higher education website design. “We are very pleased to receive the “Best In Class” Award from the IMA’s,” says Third Wave Digital President Bart Campione.  “At Third Wave Digital we are focused on creating relevant higher education website design solutions and to be recognized by the IMA’s is an honor for our entire organization.”  You can visit Third Wave Digitals new campus tours website www.twdcampustours.com to see the breadth of our portfolio in the higher education market.
