The Association of Support Professionals ranks sites based on usability, design and navigation

The ASP panel of judges reviews support sites based on 25 different criteria including performance, page load times, look and feel, navigation, integration of support resources, and knowledge base queries. Macromedia was cited as one of the best support providers alongside companies including BEA Systems, Inc., Dell Computer Corporation, and Hewlett-Packard Company.

"Macromedia actively works with our customers to make sure we are delivering a site that gives them the support and developer resources they need, so we share this award with our community."

"Macromedia has always been ahead of the pack in its attention to web support usability issues," said Jeffrey Tarter, executive director, ASP. "This year the company took on the tough challenge of delivering an integrated web experience across an even wider range of products and markets, and the result is a support site that sets a new standard for excellence."
