MONTCLAIR, NJ, Jul 31, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) —
CorraTech, a leading eCommerce agency with offices in New York and
Los Angeles, announced today that its work for Ten Thousand Villages’
eCommerce website won the “Best in Class” Interactive Media Award
(IMA) for 2012. Ten Thousand Villages, the country’s oldest and
largest fair trade retailer, was one of only three companies out of
nearly 200 entrants to receive the “Best in Class” honor. The
retailer’s new online store,
www.tenthousandvillages.com , was
evaluated in five key categories: design, content, feature
functionality, usability and standards compliance/cross-browser
compatibility.
“As for every one of our clients, our goal with Ten Thousand
Villages’ online store was to create a high-quality customer
experience. This award means a lot to us because when you put the
five judging criteria together it shows we achieved exactly that,”
said CorraTech CEO Ron Bongo. “We were fortunate to have great
partners in this project. Ten Thousand Villages was excited from the
start to embrace really innovative strategies and techniques. And
Magento, of course, enabled such innovation with their powerful,
flexible eCommerce platform.”
“We could not have achieved this level of success without the support
and guidance of CorraTech,” said Chris Fenwick, eCommerce manager for
Ten Thousand Villages. “They helped deliver a truly unique eCommerce
platform to our customers and are a big reason why we received this
award.”
The competing websites were judged on a scale of 0-100 in each of the
five key categories for a total possible score of 500 points. The Ten
Thousand Villages website scored 481 points. The Interactive Media
Awards annually recognize the highest standard of excellence in
website design and development. The judges for each award are
experienced professionals and leaders in web design, advertising,
public relations, publishing, news and other industries.
