CatholicPhilly.com was awarded the Faith-Based Standard of Excellence Award on September 12, 2013 by the Web Marketing Association. Websites considered for this award were judged based on seven criteria: design, user friendliness, copywriting, interactivity, use of technology, innovation and content.

The official digital news outlet of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia was the only Catholic organization to win an award in the national contest this year.

CatholicPhilly.com scored higher-than-average marks in the areas of design, content and writing. The website continues the mission of the former Catholic Standard and Times newspaper: to present Catholic news and catechesis to Catholics in the Philadelphia region that informs, inspires and forms them in the faith.

The WebAward Competition is the premier event for Web developers and marketers worldwide.
