The Webby Awards are the leading international awards honoring excellence on the Internet.

Over 12,000 websites were submitted for a Webby Award from over 60 countries.
Background of the Start Fresh. Buy New. website
In an effort to promote new construction and educate consumers of the many advantages of buying a new home over a used home, the StartFreshBuyNew.com website and national campaign launched in 2013. The goal of the website is to increase exposure for new homes in the general real estate marketplace and increase awareness of four key new home advantages: Low Cost of Ownership, Quality Construction, Design, and Energy Efficiency. To accomplish this, the site uses a combination of infographics, videos, image galleries, and interactive tools. The site engaged over 1.5 million home shoppers in 2013; the significant traffic is fueled by an ambitious digital marketing campaign and online sweepstakes aimed specifically at current and soon-to-be home shoppers.
The website was developed by BDX sister company, EX2 Solutions. EX2 offers complete custom web and mobile app development that provides turnkey services such as enterprise level web design, development, project management, hosting, and information architecture.
