We’re really proud to announce we won a “Best in Class Award” in the 2015 Interactive Media Awards (IMA) competition for our work on SplashbyAmerock.com, a specialty e-commerce website for Amerock, one of America’s leading manufacturers of decorative hardware.
IMA’s three-judge panel scored SplashbyAmerock.com a 494 out of 500 total points in the e-commerce category. The Best in Class Award is the highest honor, representing “the very best in planning, execution and overall professionalism,” according to IMA.
Judging focused on five key areas: design, content, feature functionality, usability and standards compliance.
“The Splash website has definitely raised the standard of excellence for e-commerce design on a global scale,” noted one of the category judges. “In terms of innovation, creativity, visual design, useful content and use of technology, this site is the best of the best.”
With more than 20 colors and 400 product combinations available, consumers can use SplashbyAmerock.com to experiment with a variety of colors and hardware designs on different cabinet styles and finishes.
SplashbyAmerock.com users can pick a pull or knob, select a color and drag it to the site’s cabinet visualizer. There, they can test how the product would look on a similar cabinet in their very own kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or living areas. Users are able to purchase products directly via an online shopping cart. This is a similar design to CKCo in Columbus Ohio which helps potential customers create their own dream kitchen.
The website, which features development work by Weidenhammer Creative, is a fully responsive design experience that gives consumers access from desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.
SplashbyAmerock.com went live in May. It has been featured in Kitchen and Bath Business and Woodworking Network. The website also secured the Gold Innovation Award from Home Improvement Executive magazine earlier this summer.
