Diamond in the Patty Award

Too often we see sites that are just thrown together and look sloppy, are never updated, and are so filled with pointless graphics, banners, and links that navigating it is an exercise in patience.

From our own experience with this site we know that building and maintaining a website is a lot of work. Especially if you're not being paid to do it and you work full time on the side. Because of this we feel that it is important to recognize the achievements of people that are able to do this. The ones that, even though they have a busy life, take the time to create a website and continue to update and maintain it. 

We call this kind of person an Ordinary Joe. A website created by an Ordinary Joe is, in our opinion, far superior to one created by a company that is paid to do it. That is why we created this award.

As with almost any award available on the internet today we have some criteria that must be met. If you have a website you would like to submit, whether it's your own or someone else's, check out our criteria. If it meets it, submit it for our review.  Due to the large volume of submissions we get, only the winners will be notified.
