Software development house LINK Development has won acclaim for its web design work at the Pan Arab Web awards ceremony, which recently brought together a large gathering to honor and celebrate excellence in the web development industry.

These latest wins come on top of the great success achieved by the company in the Egypt round of the competition earlier in the year, where LINK Development had received ten awards and special recognition with a Diamond Award for developing the ‘Best Site in Egypt’ for Mobinil.

This had led to its parent company, LINKdotNET, walking away with the coveted title of ‘Web Design and Software Development Company’ of the year in Egypt, having won the highest number of awards at the event with a combined seventeen prizes.

During its ten years of operation in the Middle East, LINK Development has played an important role in the adoption of the Internet into the private and public sector, having developed numerous corporate websites and e-government portals. One of the company’s strengths lays in the unique combination of software development and creative design skills, thus enabling the company to deliver complete e-business solutions. The company is also one of very few Middle Eastern software development houses to serve the European market, with an office recently opened in Italy to add to its regional network.

The Pan Arab Web Awards take place across the Middle East every year. Winners are elected for awards in various categories by experts from within the industry. The Awards aim to promote creativity in web design, to encourage professional work and international standards, to develop an interactive community and to serve as a platform for web designers to showcase work and attain market recognition.

This year marks LINK Development’s third during which its work has been honoured by the organisation, having previously received awards in the UAE and Egypt rounds and later in the final Pan Arab round of the annual competition.
