More than 2,400 sites from 45 countries in 96 industry categories were judged in this year’s competition.

"Working with Dealer.com was an absolute pleasure; in addition to designing a great looking website they really understand how to generate leads. Our leads are up over 30% within the first 90 days and the average visitor is staying on our website three times longer than our previous site," said Michael Najdzin, Vice President of the Park Avenue Auto Group. "Prior to switching to Dealer.com we averaged 70 Internet sales per month for BMW & Acura Last month we sold over 100 and the best part is 80% were organically generated by the website!"
Park Avenue BMW (www.parkavebmw.com) was designed to attract serious car shoppers and keep them engaged. The award-winning website provides customers with all the tools and research needed to make an educational decision about buying a car. Additionally, Dealer.com incorporated numerous calls to action in the design, so as the customer navigates through the site, they are encouraged to click on links that open forms so they can enter contact information.
