There really seems to be a convergence of all forms of media providing rich user experiences with a renewed focus on sound marketing and design principles that clearly communicate a message. The addition of the social media integration is also highlighted in many of our winners and it is amazing how those elements are pushing the technology envelope. Finally, it is also very encouraging to see all of the websites that are starting to be developed on a responsive framework. That is truly a sign that developers are staying on top of our changing user environments and building sites that will be optimized for whatever the device that is viewing the content.
