GLENDORA, CA (A2) - Asian Access (www.AsianAccess.org) has received the Standard of Excellence award in the Non-Profit category in the Web Marketing Association's tenth annual WebAward Competition for Web site development. Asian Access provides leadership development and support to emerging pastors who multiply churches across Asia.

"AsianAccess.org was developed as a gateway for North American Christians to partner with the Church in Asia to extend God's Kingdom," says Jeff Johnston, Vice President for Communications at Asian Access. "We are proud that our efforts have been recognized by the Web Marketing Association with this WebAward. Nearly three years ago, Asian Access changed its corporate name from "LIFE Ministries," as we began expanding to several countries outside of Japan. At that point, we needed to transfer some content from our previous website LIFEjapan.org, but also re-engineer the new site to better fit the scope of our widening corporate vision.  We will continue to build this site to better serve our investors, prayer supporters and alumni. One new addition coming soon will be to add video content in Flash format to highlight our new DVD, A2:RE:DEFINED.  We're excited about the enhancements we've got planned for the coming year."

More than 2,300 sites from 35 countries were adjudicated in 96 industry categories during this year's WebAward competition. Entries were judged on design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and use of technology. The competition was judged by a team of independent Internet professionals representing a variety of relevant disciplines of Web site development. Judges included members of the media, advertising executives, site designers, creative directors, corporate marketing executives, content providers and webmasters.
