This prestigious award recognizes 365 Connect's dedication to providing ADA accessible websites, leasing platforms, and service portals to the rental housing industry.
The Web Excellence Awards recognize the most powerful leaders in the industry, chosen by an esteemed panel of multidisciplinary experts from around the globe, each renowned in their field. This prestigious program celebrates the achievements of outstanding creative, technical, and professional web projects, while honoring the brilliant minds driving them. This year's competition was exceptionally intense, with submissions spanning 21 countries across four continents, highlighting the universal significance and appeal of this distinguished award.
365 Connect, a global leader in digital accessibility, was honored for its WCAG-compliant platform, certified by a third-party auditing firm accredited by the International Association of Accessibility Professionals.
