On Sunday, Bump Networks completed the redesign and launch of GoldenGlobes.org, the official site of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and the Golden Globe Awards. The new site received over a million visitors within the first two days, and an additional 40% traffic boost following the posting of the nominees for the 67th Golden Globe Awards. This high volume of hits and the launch of the new GoldenGlobes.org did not cause any interruptions to the site’s service.
The launch marks the second collaboration between Bump Networks and the HFPA. Bump Networks created the previous version of GoldenGlobes.org in 2005, prompting the HFPA to approach them to update the site for the 67th Golden Globe Awards.
Held annually since 1944, the Golden Globe Awards recognize the year’s top achievements in film and television. Broadcast in over 150 countries and attended by Hollywood’s elite, it represents one of the largest entertainment industry events of the year with guests such as Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and more.

For instance, Google generally has an Alexa rating of 1, which means that it is the top ranked site on Alexa on just about any given day. However, one thing to keep in mind is that Alexa only pulls statistics from users who have their Alexa toolbar installed.

One of the most overlooked and important aspects of good web design is the creation of forms. We’re so used to using them that we don’t give them much consideration, especially when the rest of a site might be adorned with sophisticated animations and imagery. However, as eye-catching as those elements may be, forms are often where most sites go from being purely informational tools to implements of business.

Logos are more important than you might realize because a logo allows for consumers to instantly recognize a business or service without any words. For this reason, many companies invest significant funds developing logos, and creating a logo for a large corporation may be a multi-million dollar affair.
