Top Franchise Development Websites: 71 - 80

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 Stan Friedman, president of FRM Solutions; Thomas Scott, co-founder and COO at Home Based Franchise Group

Brent Dowling, co-Founder and CEO at Raintree*; Tom Spadea, co-founder of Spadea Lignana Law Firm; Sean Fitzgerald, president of TruBlue Total House Care; Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review; Liane Caruso, CEO of helloCMO; and Kay Ainsley, managing director of MSA Worldwide.
