UAE Web Awards honors LINKdotNET with Gold Award in Banking & Financial Sector
LINKdotNET, one of the largest Internet Service and Solution providers in the Middle East and Africa, announced that it has won a prestigious award in web design and development, having been selected by experts from the industry. At the UAE Web Awards ceremony that took place recently, the company bagged the Gold Award in web development for Banking & Financial Institutions.
The award came in recognition for the high standard, ease-of-use and refined design of the website which LINKdotNET developed for Gulf Capital (www.gulfcapital.com), a leading alternative investment firm based out of Abu Dhabi. LINKdotNET will now contend for the award at a regional level, as it competes with winners from other Arab countries for the Pan Arab Web Awards 2007 competition.
