Best Website Showcase 2023
And the winner is...
The time has finally come! Over the last few months we have been searching for the best website built in the past year on the Mono Platform. A massive thank you to all Mono Partners for your wonderful small business website submissions - you have made it no easy task to find a winner!
The judging team has been overwhelmed with the quality of websites across the board. We can see that Mono Partners have truly taken the need for great page speed, an inviting layout, abundant conversion possibilities, trust-building features, and added design flourishes to new heights.
Mono was founded on the belief that all SMEs deserve the same level of website design and performance as larger companies, and with the many submissions we have received, we are proud to see this in effect. Thank you!
We have found a winner - the title "Best Mono Website" goes to our partner Heise RegioConcept with their small business website Ramme Drehteile GmbH.

What makes a good website?
There are so many different components to a well-designed website, including great usability, design, technology, and sales. A website must not only be visually pleasing through a nice, structured layout, branded design and eyecatching, easy-to read fonts, but also quickly establish trust and target customer's needs and expectations through helpful call-to-actions and information. It is important that a small business website provides value to both the small business and its visitors.
