From Briefs to Bytes: Best Legal Website to Receive WebAward

Mar 15, 2024 | Business

 The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best legal websites in the world as part of their 28th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 90 industries, including legal websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for legal websites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2024.

“In the legal sector, a website often forms the initial impression prospective clients garner of a law firm. With the web development landscape in the legal industry being notably competitive, firms stand to gain from an unbiased assessment of their digital initiatives,” remarked William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Typically, legal websites tend to err on the side of caution, reflecting the industry’s inherent conservatism. Yet, they excel in delivering user-friendliness, thoughtful design, and comprehensive content. The WebAward Competition presents a singular chance for law firms to spotlight their websites, earning accolades for crafting an online presence that is both engaging and informative, while also pleasing to the eye.”

Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the legal category is judged against other legal entries and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All legal entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward’s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

Winners of a WebAward in the legal category will also receive:
· A limited-edition Commemorative NFT
· Increased visibility for their company
· Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
· Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
· Social media posts for your company and personal feeds
· A highlight for your resume.
· Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
· Unlimited bragging rights

Hong Kong – SITI briefs stakeholders on Policy Address I&T initiatives (with photos)

SITI briefs stakeholders on Policy Address I&T initiatives (with photos)

************************************************************************


     The Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, today (November 1) briefed the innovation and technology (I&T) sector, professional bodies, academic associations and research clusters on I&T initiatives outlined in “The Chief Executive’s 2022 Policy Address”.



     Professor Sun said that the National 14th Five-Year Plan expressed clear support for Hong Kong to develop into an international I&T hub. This year’s Policy Address fully implements the National 14th Five-Year Plan’s vision in supporting Hong Kong to develop into an international I&T hub. The Government will promulgate the Hong Kong I&T Development Blueprint within this year to set out major policies under four development directions:


 


(i) To enhance the I&T ecosystem and achieve re-industrialisation in Hong Kong;


(ii) To enlarge the I&T talent pool to create strong impetus for growth;


(iii) To develop Hong Kong into a smart city to improve the quality of life of people; and


(iv) To proactively integrate into the overall development of the country and consolidate Hong Kong’s advantages as an international city.


 


     Professor Sun highlighted the launch of the $10 billion “Research, Academic and Industry Sectors One-plus Scheme” (RAISe+ Scheme), which aims to incentivise collaboration among industry, academic and research sectors to further promote the “1 to N” transformation and realisation of research and development (R&D) outcomes and industry development. Focusing on industries of strategic importance, such as life and health technology, artificial intelligence and data science, as well as advanced manufacturing and new energy technology, high-potential or representative I&T enterprises will be proactively attracted from around the globe by collaborating with the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises and making use of the Strategic Tech Fund and the Co-Investment Fund. The Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau will create the post of Commissioner for Industry, and subsidises the setting up of more smart production lines in Hong Kong under the Re-industrialisation Funding Scheme, with the aim of increasing the cumulative number by four times to over 130 in five years. He also called on the participants to join hands to attract enterprises interested in expanding their businesses in Hong Kong by leveraging their Mainland and overseas connections, with a view to driving the development of the local industry.


 


     The Policy Address also announced the enhancement of the Technology Talent Admission Scheme by expanding the coverage to more emerging technology areas to facilitate the admission of technology talents from the advanced manufacturing industry. In addition, the Government will use the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop as a pilot to study the trial implementation of a cross-boundary policy on I&T co-operation with Shenzhen on the basis of “one zone, two parks”.


 


     Professor Sun said that at the recently concluded 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Secretary General Xi Jinping pointed out that the country will fully implement the strategy for invigorating China through science and education, the workforce development strategy, and the innovation-driven development strategy, with a view to improving systems for scientific and technological innovation and building world hubs for talent and innovation. Through formulation of clear development direction and strategies as well as enhanced co-ordination and planning of relevant measures, Professor Sun hoped to spearhead the promotion of I&T development at full speed to live up to the expectations of the country.


 


     Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation and the office of Legislative Council Member Mr Duncan Chiu, the seminar was held in person and online, as well as live-streamed in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Foshan sub-venues.

SEN briefs local representatives on improvements to electoral system of Hong Kong (with photos/video)

******************************************************************************************


     The Secretary for the Environment, Mr Wong Kam-sing, today (April 9) met with representatives of district organisations from Southern District and Wan Chai District to brief them on the amended Annex I to the Basic Law on Method for the Selection of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and Annex II to the Basic Law on Method for the Formation of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and its Voting Procedures as approved by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.
 
     The Permanent Secretary for the Environment/Director of Environmental Protection, Ms Maisie Cheng; the Under Secretary for the Environment, Mr Tse Chin-wan; and the Under Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Jack Chan, also attended the briefing sessions.
 
     Mr Wong elaborated on the background and objectives of the improvements to the HKSAR’s electoral system at the briefing sessions. He said that improving the electoral system and implementing “patriots administering Hong Kong” can restore order from chaos and return Hong Kong to the right track, ensuring the robust and successful implementation of “one country, two systems”.
 
     Mr Wong noted that, with the electoral system improved, the HKSAR Government and the society can focus on improving people’s livelihood, promoting economic development and strengthening environmental protection, with a view to providing a better living environment for the people. He encouraged the local representatives to gain a better understanding of the matter and support the legislative work, as well as brief people in the community on the improvements to the electoral system.
 
     The participants from the district organisations welcomed and supported the improvements to the HKSAR’s electoral system given their necessity and urgency. They also expressed their hope for safeguarding Hong Kong’s long-term prosperity and stability.
