<p>This month, 1851 Franchise’s <a href="https://1851franchise.com/developmentawards2020"><u>Franchise Development Website Awards</u></a> have <a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchisedevelopmentawards"><u>returned</u></a> to celebrate the most effective and engaging development sites in franchising. A panel of nine 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.&nbsp;</p><p>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.</p><p>This year's judges include<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brent-dowling-?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-40-31-2714231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <u>Brent Dowling,</u></a> CEO and co-founder of<a href="https://raintreesales.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-40-31-2714231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <u>Raintree</u></a>;<a href="https://www.msaworldwide.com/about-us/msa-senior-team/kay-ainsley/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-40-31-2714231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <u>Kay Ainsley</u></a>, managing director of<a href="https://www.msaworldwide.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-40-31-2714231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <u>MSA Worldwide</u></a>;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellemonroerowan?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-40-31-2714231" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <u>Michelle Rowan,</u></a> president &amp;
