Dubai, UAE - Cactimedia, the "UAE Web Company of the Year 2006", stole the limelight at the 2007 Pan Arab Awards ceremony at the Burj Al Arab, winning the highest number of awards in the UAE.
The web design company scooped the lion's share of the accolades, winning eight awards including two golds, three silvers and three bronzes.
Cactimedia won gold, silver and bronze in the Food & Beverage category, gold and silver in the Real Estate and Sports segments, gold in the ICT, Health Services and Media & Press categories, silver in the Fashion & Art and Services segments and bronze in the Cultural category.
Mazen Ilyas, CEO of Cactimedia, received the awards on behalf of the company at a gala dinner attended by regional business leaders, web designers and developers.
Acknowledging the awards, Ilyas said: "With so many great companies in the region, being able to get eight of the awards this year was a great addition to the 34 awards we gathered last year. Cactimedia is one of the few companies that provide a complete solution that addresses quality in each critical area of an organisation's web presence including search engine optimisation, application development and technology integration."
The "Pan Arab Web Awards" are dedicated to honouring talented web developers and designers in the Arab world and safeguarding the integrity of their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The competition is open to all organisations and freelance web designers, web developers and web site owners in the region.
"Cactimedia has worked with some of the leading companies in the UAE to set new standards in web design. We bring some of the finest talent from around the globe to provide a service that is comparable to the world's best. We look forward to continue working with the industry to raise the bar for web design not just in the UAE but across the region," Ilyas added.
The company recently announced that it will expand its operations to Brazil. The Dubai-based agency already has two international offices in Belgrade, Serbia and Hyderabad, India.
The Belgrade office has a team of web programmers while the Hyderabad office focuses on developing solutions for advanced search-engine optimisation. A team of high-end designers based in its new Brazil office will support Cactimedia's projects for clients in the Middle East.
