Dr. Mohamed Omar, President of Zedny said, “WSI helped us in shifting our business and activities by a 360-degree shift. They didn’t just create the Internet solution, but they also created a new business model for us from scratch and developed a very effective e-solution. They also helped us for one full year in further developing that solution, as well as integrating new creative ideas and techniques and helping us in e-marketing campaigns. We realized today that we didn’t need developers or even a regular IT company. We really needed an excellent Internet consulting company and that couldn’t be anyone except WSI with their creative Consultants and their huge service portfolio.”

WSI introduced the WSI Web Awards to showcase the very best of thousands of the Internet solutions created each year by WSI Consultants in their local markets around the world. Several hundred sites were submitted by Consultants to be considered for the 2007 WSI Web Awards. Each site was scored and ranked by a team of WSI site auditors, who created a short list of the top sites, resulting in 38 nominations. Sites were then voted on by the global community of 1500 plus WSI Consultants to determine the winners of the 6 categories, including Best Industry Application, Best Product Showcase, Creative Excellence, Best Non-English Site, Best Business Edge Site and Best Overall Website.
