ALLENTOWN, PA, USA, June 1, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- KDG has received two top honors for web design from one of the nation’s fastest-growing design competitions–The American Web Design Awards™. The annual competition, which is sponsored by industry magazine Graphic Design USA (GDUSA), attracts more than 9,000 entries, with only 15 percent receiving an award.

KDG was recognized in the Microsites category for superior work on Mule Madness, a record-breaking higher education crowdfunding campaign created to raise funds in support of athletic programs at Muhlenberg College.

“From the moment KDG launched the Mule Madness site for us, we knew it was a winner,” said Rebekkah L. Brown, Vice President for Advancement at Muhlenberg. “Not only did the site help us exceed our fundraising goals, but it made the act of giving fun and interactive for our students, parents and alumni. We are delighted that KDG’s work on this project is being celebrated by GDUSA.”

In addition to Mule Madness, KDG earned an award in the User Experience category for their higher ed web design on Florida Institute of Technology's Day of Giving Campaign website. KDG designers pulled out all the stops to deliver a space-themed site that reflected the school’s NASA roots and kept people engaged long after they made a donation.

“Our goal was to launch a site that donors would be talking about even after the Day of Giving campaign was over,” said Kim Amidon, Assistant Director, Annual Giving & Donor Relations at FIT. “KDG helped us do exactly that. They definitely deserve this recognition.”

Since 2012, KDG has worked to carve out a niche for itself in the crowdfunding for higher education space. Receiving two awards for designs in this area is confirmation that the firm is poised to become a go-to choice for colleges and universities nationwide.
