Judging the Restaurant Website Awards
PLEASE NOTE : The judges decision is final. No correspondence will be entered into either by the Editor of The Curry House or by any of the judges.


Visitors to The Curry House were able to nominate their favourite websites via a form on our site throughout much of the year. A shortlist of 10 top sites was then drawn up by The Curry House from hundreds of nominations received. Finally, a panel of judges assessed the shortlisted sites and awarded a maximum of 30 marks to each site.

Marks were awarded for :

quality & depth of information (15 marks) - how much does the site tell us about the restaurant? its history; its staff; its menu; its style of cuisine. Does it provide other information such as recipes or cultural background?

style & design (10 marks) - the look and feel of the site. Is it well designed? Does it use the technology well? Is it good to look at?

navigation (5 marks) - how easy or intuitive is it to move around the site? Is it clear what the site has to offer?

The judges' marks were then pooled together to reveal the final result.
