The Best in E-Commerce category is aimed at honouring digital platforms or campaigns that have
excelled in the online retail space, demonstrating outstanding performance in user experience,
customer service, and business growth. Entries should showcase an effective blend of design,
functionality, and strategy to engage customers and drive sales.

The judging criteria will include overall site design, ease of navigation, product representation,
checkout process, and customer service quality. Additional points will be awarded for innovative
features or strategies that cater to a diverse customer base, such as multiple payment options,
language support, or accessibility features.

Open to various types of e-commerce platforms—from niche startups to established retail
giants—this category aims to recognise those that have set industry standards for excellence, backed
by impressive metrics and customer satisfaction scores.

Conradh na Gaeilge

The Cultural Driver category is designed to spotlight digital campaigns that have made a significant
and measurable impact on culture – whether that’s within a specific community, industry, or broader
society. Unlike traditional campaigns focused solely on metrics like reach or engagement, entries in
this category will be evaluated for their role in shifting paradigms, elevating conversations, and driving
meaningful change. The focus is on campaigns that have not just reflected but shaped cultural values,
attitudes, or behaviours in a noteworthy manner.

This category seeks to capture a diverse range of initiatives, from those that have championed
inclusivity and equality to those that have sparked innovation or sustained traditions. Whether the
campaign has scaled globally or been hyper-focused locally, its cultural influence should be evident
and backed by quantifiable results.

“Is cúis mhór bhróid dúinn bheith ainmnithe do na gradaim Spiders d’ár suíomh idirlín nua cnag.ie.

Cabhraíonn an suíomh úr linn sin a bhaint amach i mbealach idirghníomhach. Míle buíochas le Modus as cuidiú linn leis an dtogra seo.”

“We are delighted to be nominated for the Spiders for our new website cnag.ie. As a community organisation it is vital that we can effectively share various campaigns and news updates effectively, the new website allows us to do that in an interactive way. Thank you to Modus for helping us with this project.”
