Good Web Guide announces Website Of The Year

The Good Web Guide has picked travel website Simonseeks.co.uk as the winner of the 2009 Website Of The Year award.

From a shortlist of 25 sites, Simonseeks.co.uk was chosen because of the high standard of its user-generated content. "I especially like the way the user content is organised and that there are standards to ensure good quality content," said judging panel member Yanique Francis-Yalin of Twenga.com.

Web User reviewed the Simonseeks.co.uk site earlier this year but awarded it four stars, as we would have liked more photography and video footage on the site.

Runners-up prizes went to Songkick.com, a gig-tracking website; Findinvestgrow.com, a site for young entrepreneurs; and Shiply.com, which helps you find cheap courier services in the UK and Europe.
