Web Competition 2007 Results
 The BCS Oxfordshire 2006/7 Schools Web competition attracted more entries from more schools than ever before;
The judges were impressed with the skill and effort that had gone into all the sites.
The teams will have found out for themselves that there are (at least) two major aspects to a website:
- the design: does it look good, is it easy to navigate, and does it work with the major browsers
- the content: is it useful, accurate, and does it include everything it should
Most of the entries were strong in one or the other category: the highest marked sites scored strongly in both areas.
See the BCS Press Release.
The organising committee thank and congratulate everyone for their entries.
Those sites rated Highly Commended or better are entitled to display this competition logo.
