Strategic Guru Announces Winner of Second Annual Worst Website Contest

June 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Cary, N.C. – Strategic Guru, a strategic marketing agency, announced today that voice actress Amy Elk (http://amyelk.com/) is the winner of the “Second Annual Worst Website Ever” contest.  She will receive a prize package, including design, copy editing, development, and search engine optimization.  

"I am so excited! I had several people tell me that I really needed to consider hiring a professional to redesign my website,” said Amy Elk. “Since it's the face of my voice over business, I really wanted it to be well designed, but in the absence of the budget to hire someone and the time to invest to develop it properly myself, the result was my haphazard efforts at 'just having something out there' that turned into that lavender puddle of yuck!”

The contest, which began June 16 with a call for entries, was launched with the goal of finding the business or organization whose website was most in need of a makeover. The winner was chosen in an Internet poll conducted at the contest site. During the six days of voting, a total of 28,684 votes were cast. Amy Elk received 16,543 votes, about 57%.

“This year we received more than double the number of votes than last year. Our finalists did an excellent job of getting their supporters to participate in the poll,” said Carolyn Rhinebarger, Strategic Guru’s Chief Brainstormer. “We are thrilled to start working with Amy to improve her web presence.”
