Shemoqmedi

Shemoqmedi (შემოქმედი) is Georgian for creator. The platform is made in Georgia and built for the people who make websites: designers, developers and studios, whether they work alone or in a team of fifty.

It is a showcase and an awards programme in one. The listed websites do the talking: every page is built around their screenshots, with as little of our own design in the way as possible.

Anyone can submit a website. The jury reviews every submission by hand before it appears. Sites that are unfinished, broken or not original are declined with a short note explaining why.

Approved sites go live in weekly batches, and the jury scores each batch the following week on four weighted pillars: design, usability, creativity and content. Jurors never score their own sites or their company's. The best sites win Honorable Mention and Site of the Day (one a day), then Site of the Month and Site of the Year. The details are on How we score.

Every listing credits the people who made it and links to their own website. Each creator gets a profile page that collects their sites, scores and awards, and can claim it to manage it.

Award winners and nominees can show a badge on their site that links back to their scores. Featured websites remain the property of their creators. To request a correction or removal, use the Claim button on the listing.

Shemoqmedi lists websites from everywhere, and it gives Georgian web design a stage next to the best international work. Georgian and international sites are judged by the same jury on the same four pillars. Browse websites from Georgia, or read about them in Georgian.
