MidcoastMaine.com
(Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber)
Best Non-Profit Site
This site draws out the visually appealing nature of this part of the Maine Coast. For many Internet searchers, the site is a tourist gateway to the region and it was very important to the Chamber that the site, through its look and feel, compare favorably to similar sites for more well-known Downeast destinations.

The Big Easy - www.bigeasyportland.com
Best Arts & Entertainment Site
The Big Easy is Portland, Maine’s premier night spot. The club wanted a new Web site that rocks as loud as they do. The Content Manager allows easy-self-publishing of upcoming events as well as multiple Photo Galleries of local bands in action on its stage. The design really makes you want to be there!
Best of the Web award winners will be announced at techMaine’s Gala, taking place May 20th @ the Eastland Park Hotel Ballroom.
Actually, it’s would be more than a little unfair to get all the credit for the Big Easy site. The absolutely amazing graphic design is the work of Walt Craven. Walt’s also the lead singer/guitarist in Lost on Liftoff, a local band that often plays at The Big Easy. Walt has done graphic design work for the club for some time.
Jennifer Ecker, Pemaquid Web Designer extraordinaire, rocked out the world-class HTML and CSS in her spare time (of which she has very little).
A simply stunning work of art!
Yours truly set up the Web hosting, plugged in the Pemaquid Content Manager, gave a little architectural guidance to Walt & Jen and showed club co-owner Ken Bell how to use said Content Manager to self-publish updates to the Calendar and Gallery.
