Míc Miller's unique perspective and experience clearly resonates and should be read by site designers, webmasters, and site owners looking for and/or wanting to give ultimate recognition of a site."

Don Chisholm, founder of Website Awards and creator of the World's Top Awards list, adds: "Míc Miller knows more about Web awards than anyone I know, and he shares his inside knowledge and best ideas in this book. A must read if you are interested in winning elite awards or running a top award program. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this great how-to book has something for you!"

Maestro Award

The Beeline was recently presented the Maestro Award of Excellence, one of most illustrious Web awards available today. Only six out of 107 sites were awarded in May, 2002.

Other winners were: Asif R Naqvi Dot Com (Pakistan), High Resolution (India), Multimedia-House.com (Great Britain), Modifying Africa (Republic of South Africa), and Restaurant Luc Bellings (Belgium).

The Maestro Award is awarded to webmasters "that have surmounted the highest reaches of design excellence and attained the level of master on a variety of subjects and critiques. It is committed to improving the quality of Web sites on the Internet by acknowledging the existence of unique talent and we are focused on bringing them out, giving them a chance to compete with the very best in the world, and the publicity they deserve."

This award is rated Level 5.0+ by Award Sites!, the premiere award-rating service on the Internet.

Over 50 WTAs

Don Chisholm of Website Awards has confirmed that The Beeline has earned over 50 World's Top Awards (WTAs). This was accomplished when The Beeline recently received the Arete Award, the Asder Gold Award, and the Maestro Award of Excellence. These three WTAs brought The Beeline's total to 51.

To date, no other Web site has received as many WTAs. Rob Ford's treecity (Great Britain) comes closest with over 30 and Ric Berends' Maestro Awards (The Netherlands) follows with over 20.
