Notes
Winners and nominees are generally named according to the
organization or website winning the award, although the recipient
is, technically, the web
design firm or internal department that created the winning
site and in the case of corporate websites, the designer's
client. Web links are provided for informational purposes, both in
the most recently available archive.org version
before the awards ceremony and, where available, the current
website. Many older websites no longer exist, are redirected, or
have been substantially redesigned.
