They are definitely well earned.
congratulations on the award! keep it up. more success!
Wow. As a matter of interest, it would be great to learn what kind of effort it took to achieve this outcome. E.G. What did the workload look like to get nominated for these awards? In any case, well done!
I’ve noticed that public service websites are often designed and tested over a long period of time, mostly 1-2 years. Was this the case in this instance as it’s very impressive to award after only an initial design.
Congratulations, that really is an excellent award to win. A real feather in your caps!
