Indian Wells took home two prestigious hospitality industry prizes in recent weeks, one apiece at the annual WebAwards and W³ Awards. The WebAwards celebrate digital innovation, functionality, and creativity in today’s fast evolving age, while the W³ Awards honor the most creative designers and marketers in web content creation. The resort’s website has unique design across mobile, tablet, and desktop, offering ease of use and stunning visuals.

Visuals on the site showcase the city’s numerous recreational offerings and accommodations arrangements. The user-friendly design uses vivid photos and informative copy to steer website visitors towards the properties’ booking engines. Overall it has encouraged site visitors to become real-life visitors for the resort community. “There is so much for us to showcase about Indian Wells,” said Nancy Samuelson, Director of Marketing and Community Relations for the city of Indian Wells. “We wanted our website to be as comprehensive as the in-person experience.” The WebAwards are hosted annually by the Web Marketing Association, founded in 1997 to help set a high standard for Internet marketing and development of the best websites on the World Wide Web.
