GLENDORA, CA (A2) - For the second straight year, Asian Access (www.AsianAccess.org) has received the Standard of Excellence award in the Non-Profit category in the Web Marketing Association's eleventh 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 humbled that our efforts have again been recognized by the Web Marketing Association with this WebAward. A few 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. One enhancement since last year that likely contributed to our award was adding our new video Flash player to highlight our new DVD, A2:RE:DEFINED."

More than 2,400 sites from 40 countries were adjudicated in 96 industry categories during this year's competition. Entries were judged on design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and use of technology.

"Many of the entries this year continued to show impressive creativity and technical innovation to win in this year's WebAward competition," (www.webaward.org) said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. (www.WebMarketingAssociation.org). "While some companies are constantly improving their Web efforts in small ways, others are making incredible leaps ahead. The WebAwards has always been a great way for Internet professionals to showcase their work and gain recognition and marketing opportunities for web development that sets the standard for the entire industry. We’re pleased to announce that one of the winners of this year's WebAwards is Asian Access."
