New York Cardiovascular Associates website wins 2013 Outstanding Website Award

Cardiovascular Associates’ website, www.nycva.org, was selected as winner of the Web Marketing Association’s 2013 WebAward for Outstanding Website. The New York City health center’s site, unveiled earlier this year, was designed and developed by the healthcare marketing agency Paramount/MD.

“We are so pleased that our new site was chosen to receive this award,” said a NYCVA spokesperson upon hearing the news. “When it was clear that our old website needed to be renovated, we knew Paramount/MD would do a great job for us. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

The Web Marketing Association considered a number of criteria in assessing websites for the Outstanding Website award. A panel of three expert judges evaluated entries along seven criteria: design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting, and ease of use.

Paramount/MD’s team of expert designers, developers, and healthcare writers worked together to create the NYCVA website, employing the latest technology and cutting-edge creative elements. “We produced a unique website for New York Cardiovascular Associates that is both appealing to visitors and effective for converting new patients,” said Paramount/MD Principal Victor Sirgado. “It’s an honor that the site won this award.”
