The following Web sites were named NAFDMA’s Top Five finalists for Outstanding Web Site. NAFDMA members voted for their favorite, and Cagle’s Dairy came out on top.


During the conference, we held a session called “Capturing Clicks: The Best of NAFDMA Member Web Sites.” Cagle’s Dairy, the winner of the contest, was featured during this session. The session speaker, Andy Skadberg, presented his Top 10 of the more than 40 farms who entered the contest. 

Of his Top 10, Andy wrote, “I noticed that a number of the sites I selected had sound. This is not intentional, in fact, I believe that having sound start upon the Web site opening is not preferable. It just happened that these Web sites were the best - in my humble opinion.”

During the session, Andy noted that if you do have sound upon opening, loop it once or allow site visitors a way to turn off the music. No matter how charming you think that your Web site’s music is, some of your visitors may not appreciate it playing in an endless loop.
