Whoseview.ie wins Best New Indigenous Website Award at Golden Spiders

The 2009 Golden Spider Awards were on last night and I am delighted to say we didn’t come home empty handed. Between Lightbox and our clients we were shortlisted in 5 categories and Whoseview.ie managed to win the Best New Indigenous Website Award.

This is a great honour for the team at Lightbox and Whoseview and is just reward for all of the hard work and long hours put in to the project by everybody involved!

Congratulations to all of the other winners on the night - especially our friends in Pix.ie (we designed their logo as it happens) who won the people’s choice prize for Best Social Networking website.
