American Thyroid Association Excels in Interactive Media Awards

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Sept. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Last week, the American Thyroid Association (http://www.thyroid.org) (ATA) stormed the 2013 Interactive Media Awards (http://www.interactivemediaawards.com/) by winning in both the non-profit and health and nutrition categories. ATA is an independent authority dedicated to the promotion of research and prevention of thyroid disorders. ATA is leading the way with the latest and greatest web development techniques, increasing awareness of the disease and how it can be prevented.

Perhaps the true success story lies behind the redesign of the association’s website to cater to a web-centric marketing approach. Programmers, developers and project managers at GreatCircle Studios (http://www.greatcirclestudios.com) came together to strategize on how best to implement search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to illustrate measurable results on the number of viewers and visitors to the Web site. Most notably, our designers were responsible for the full reconstruction of the site into a responsive design theme with unprecedented functionality, capability and sheer good looks.

ATA might be leading the way for health, nutrition and research organizations to promote themselves with a compelling web presence. Early this year, the ATA called upon GreatCircle Studios to enhance the functionality, capability, presentation, design and interface of their website. Due to these drastic changes that lead to climbing numbers in website visitation the ATA was recognized by one of the most, if not the most reputable interactive media authority.

The award was based on a number of variables but honed in on the functionality and presentation of the website including all functionality, links and more. The Interactive Media Awards group is comprised of leading web designers, developers and other recognized experts in the technology space. The non-profit association awarded ATA the “Outstanding Achievement Award” in both the non-profit association and the health and nutrition categories.
