Warwick, RI (May 12th 2010)- Online high-culture newspaper Newport Seen was recently cited as Best Online Web Development/Creation and Best Online Writing of the year at a Connecticut Press Club awards ceremony.
www.NewportSeen.com, was developed by Brave River Solutions and launched in June 2009. The site is maintained utilizing Brave River’s versatile content management system, allowing the seamless uploading of both media and copy while linking the site to prominent search engines via meta tags and keywords. "Brave River seamlessly integrated the technology with our vision and beautiful design, so that the site continues its high end appeal," said Thomas Roskelly, Creative Director of the design company Roskelly Inc. The system also provides the essential ability to update information at a rapid pace, allowing the site to keep up and ahead of other media outlets. "As a writer and not a "techie", I find I can use Newport Seen as easily as I can any social networking site” said Linda Phillips, President of Phillips Communications- the parent company of Newport Seen.
Newport Seen was created in response to decreasing print media coverage of its target focuses and audience. Reporting on topics ranging from parties to fine arts, the site is elegantly geared towards a glimpse of the Newport social and cultural life. Since its launch, the elegant publication has reached over a quarter of a million page views in over one hundred countries. Out of the fifty states also reached, ninety percent of the site’s views come from the local New England area, creating a core audience for its advertisers.
The Connecticut Press Club is a local chapter of the National Federation of Press Women, serving to the interests of journalists and writers alike. By being recognized for these distinct awards, Newport Seen will automatically be entered in the National League of American Pen Women’s national competition.
