Dorset: Adido celebrates triple success in international design awards

The websites of three Dorset-based organisations have been announced as winners of prestigious international awards for design. Dorset Tea, Bournemouth Borough Council and the Dorset Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner have all been recognised for the excellence of their websites, which exceed standards of design, innovation, functionality and usability.

Adido, the Bournemouth-based digital agency that designed and built the websites, scooped the awards of excellence and distinction at the Communicator Awards for ‘Best Website’ in the food and beverage, government and community categories.

The winners of the 2015 Communicator Awards were announced by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts.  With over 6,000 global entries, the awards are the largest and most competitive program to honour the creative excellence of communications professionals. 

In addition, the Bournemouth Borough Council and Dorset Tea websites were awarded platinum and gold status at the 2015 Hermes Creative Awards respectively. This is the second year in a row that Adido has been successful in the ‘Best Business to Consumer Website’ category.

Gary Seneviratne, co-founder of Adido, said: “I am delighted that we have been recognised for our creative and design work for these Dorset clients. Bournemouth and the wider area has been receiving recognition for the growth of its digital industries, so it is great to help put Dorset on the map in the international arena."
