NCJW/Essex website wins 2016 American Web Design Award

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Graphic Design USA has awarded the National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section and Lobello Design of Kenilworth with an American Web Design Award for its newly redesigned NCJW/Essex website. From more than 1,250 entries worldwide, the NCJW Essex website was one of the projects selected as a winner. In announcing the award, the editor/publisher of GDUSA commented, “the design and development of your website is, simply, outstanding,” according to a recent press release

The new website, www.ncjwessex.org, was launched a year ago in the summer of 2015.

“Our goal was to better brand the organization, feature more of a homepage, be more user-friendly and interactive, and give us a more contemporary, visually appealing look,” Lisa Blumert, director of communications for NCJW/Essex, said in the release. “We wanted to ensure that we had a better designed and attractive website that will be dynamic and functional for the future.”

The website redesign project also included a sister website, the Linda & Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women, www.centerforwomenNJ.org. Both new, engaging websites allow users to register more easily and find out information about all the events and programs at NCJW/Essex and the Center for Women.

The American Web Design Awards celebrate the power of well-designed websites and other online communications to attract audiences, generate engagement and response, and promote products, services, ideas and causes.
