The MobileWebAward Competition is open to any companies or individuals who create mobile sites and applications for businesses, organizations, and government entities. Entrants are judged in each of the 96 industry categories on creativity, impact, design, interactivity, ease of use, content, and use of the medium. Judging the competition are professionals who work with and understand the development and design of mobile branding. Of all the entrants in the Hotel and Lodging Mobile Website category, the Loews Hotels mobile website was deemed the most exemplary of these seven criteria. Furthermore, of all category winners, the site was selected as the top overall mobile website. HeBS Digital and Loews Hotels worked together closely to match the brand identity and functionality of the full Loews Hotels website as well as to create a remarkable user-friendly interface that employs smartphone technologies, location-aware capabilities, and a mobile booking engine.
“Loews Hotels is committed to giving its e-commerce customers an exceptional experience on all fronts – on the desktop site as well as mobile and tablet devices," said Jimmy Suh, Senior Vice President, Ecommerce & Distribution. "With our ‘location-aware’ mobile website we have been able to provide an intuitive user experience for our guests. The mobile site determines where the closest property is to their current proximity, and offers location-specific directions as well as special offers and packages most relevant to them.
