Top Franchise Development Websites: 21 - 30

This month, 1851 Franchise’s Franchise Development Website Awards have returned to announce the most effective and engaging development sites in franchising. A panel of eight expert judges evaluated each franchise development site according to three criteria: first impressions, quality of content and ease of use. Sites were scored on a five-point scale in accordance with these three criteria, with the overall website rankings based on a composite average of the judges’ scores. 

The first impressions metrics for each franchise development site are determined in consideration of five subfactors: usability, UI/UX design, site performance, SEO and mobile accessibility. The content metrics are determined by the presence and strength of three subfactors: motivating content, calls to action and reasons to buy now. The ease-of-use metrics score was determined in relation to location, depth and ease of application.

This year's judges include Sean Fitzgerald, president of TruBlue Total House Care; Liane Caruso, senior vice president of Entrepreneur Media; Brent Dowling, CEO and co-founder of Raintree**; Kay Ainsley, managing director of MSA Worldwide; Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review*; Stan Friedman, president of FRM Solutions; Thomas Scott, CEO of Brand Journalists; and Tom Spadea, co-founder of Spadea Lignana Law Firm.
