All month, 1851 has been counting down the <a href="https://1851franchise.com/developmentawards2021">best franchise development websites</a> in the industry.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 <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/4stanfriedman?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-41-50-2717405" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Stan Friedman</a>, president of<a href="https://www.frmsolutions.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-franchise-development-websites-41-50-2717405" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> FRM Solutions</a>;
