The first product of the Akzo Nobel Internet Platform, Akzo Nobel’s recently relaunched corporate website, has won an official Site of the Day honor from Macromedia. Centrical's Sander is lead architect and technical manager in this project.

The award, which was made today, means that the company’s site takes pride of place in the Showcase section of Macromedia’s own website.
Macromedia says it “recognizes websites based on their use of strong visual designs, superior functionalities, and innovative uses of Macromedia products.” They add that by handing out the award, they want to “give credit to the creative and engineering talent behind the scenes.”
