Website design is often in the eye of the beholder. However, no matter how great your current website design is most of the experts say websites should be updated every 3-5 years. Technologies change, your audience probably changes slightly and giving your site a fresh new look seldom hurts. With that in mind, we're updating www.aligned-marketing.com.

To get some inspiration for our new site I visited 9 "award" sites. These websites let me glance at a bunch of websites that the experts have decided are the best-of-the-best for various industry segments. I thought I'd pass the list along so you can see what the folks in-the-know are saying about website design. Please feel free to add to the list.
