Rediff.com has been judged the overall winner in the mobile content category and rated as having the best design in the news category, at the PC World Web Awards 2008.
In the second year of the awards, PC World evaluated web sites using parameters like content, structure and technology. In all 57 web sites across 31 categories have been recognised in this year's awards, up from 35 sites across 20 categories last year.
A 13-member jury consisting of domain experts in the field of design, UI, security and technology made the final choice.
On choosing Rediff.com winner in the mobile category, the magazine said, 'Our experts loved its crispy layout which enabled smooth navigation. The search by category is a nice feature for quick access to particular content. It has rich content and offers news, job search, Rediffmail, horoscopes, airfares, Rediff Bol (messenger), cricket info and ringtones.'
Rediff Mobile won with its simple design and content, PC World said.
In the News segment, PC World said Rediff.com, 'while a tad conservative with use of colour, scored well on structure, content and delivering the lease error while surfing. The graphics were low-key but helpful and the topics on offer were diverse.'
