Pride of the Pantheon EXPRESS Line!
If you have problems with this form, then send all of the information listed below in an email message to the Pride of the Pantheon Team.
If you have already had a site critique, and fixed all the things mentioned, or if your site has previously won an award [Featured Page, Best of Athens, Academy Spotlight, Atrium, Expo, Religious Round Table, etc.], then you may use the EXPRESS line for being reviewed for the Pride of the Pantheon award.
Using the EXPRESS line will not give you suggestions for improving your site. If that is what you want then fill out the Site Critique Request Form. This is just a way to get your award quickly, if you qualify. It's like the express line in the grocery store, because you do most of the hard work yourself before you fill out the form.
What to Do
- Read the requirements for Pride of the Pantheon. Does your site meet them?
- Run NetMechanic to check for broken links and then fix any that turn up.
- Run NetMechanic again to check for load times. The load time on the main pages of your site should be no more than 60 seconds on a 28.8K modem. Other pages can be no more than 120 seconds on a 28.8K modem.
- Fill out the form below, and wait to hear from us. *grin* You should get your preliminary results in less than a week or two, and if you are nominated at that time it may take another week or two for the final decision on whether your site gets the award.
What Happens if my Site Qualifies?
If your site does qualify for "Pride of the Pantheon", then in a week or two you will get a simple email message saying it was nominated. If the site passes the review, then you eventually get a "congratulations" form letter a week or two after that.
What if my Site doesn't Make it?
If your site does not qualify for the award, then in less a week or two you get a quick message listing the quibbles that were found. If we find lots of broken links, you won't get a full list of them; this form is for sites where the links have already been checked. The "quick message" won't take pains to be diplomatically worded either - if you want to protect your feelings ask for a site critique instead.
Express Line Form
If you do not hear from us within 24 hours [saying we have received the request], please try again - occasionally an email message gets lost, or a typo is made in the email address part of the form. If your browser does not support forms, then send all of the information listed above in an email message to the Pride of the Pantheon Team.
Please allow about a week or two for your preliminary results to arrive. If your site is nominated, then allow about two more weeks for the review. And thank you for making Athens a nicer place to play!
