With the number of different websites around today, it's sometimes difficult to tell which one is the best for the purpose you need. After all, what can look like a slick site might not have the best information.

According to the WebAwards site, entries were " evaluated on design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and use of technology." A team of various Internet experts are used to judge each entry.

One student loan comparison site, Simple Tuition. has just received two Standard of Excellence WebAwards for its website development and ease of use. (Always an important thing when websites are concerned.)

Simple Tuition offers students and their families a "sortable, online comparison solution that will make education borrowing choices a whole lot clearer." More than that, their search engine helps break down the numbers so students can see exactly which option is the best one for them.
