What turns leads into franchisees?

There’s no one simple answer to that question, but you can bet an exceptional franchise development website plays a crucial role. With that in mind, 1851 wants to shine a light on the best of the best this industry has to offer. We live in a digital world, and only brands that embrace it with best practices will continue to thrive.

The 2015 Franchise Development Website Awards are designed to put design front and center, with sites being judged on motivating content, ease of application, usability, UI/UX design, site performance and SEO.

A well-designed franchise development website can mean all the difference in franchise sales, and brands that understand this deserve their recognition.

1851 is joined by the industry experts at No Limit Agency*, FranNet and FranConnect in judging and sponsoring the awards. Submissions are due by Friday, June 5, with winners being named in July.

Visit 1851franchise.com/frandevawards to submit your site for consideration.
