Without a doubt, Business and Professional Toastmasters of Metarie is the winner!  I visited this site as well as some of the others in the contest.  Congratulations on a most impressive site.  Graphics were excellent, but I would have liked to see a few pictures.  Give us a photo or two of the fancy meeting room you're bragging about!  The linked resources on the site were useful.  The consistency of the pages was outstanding.  The site promoted not only Toastmasters, but "why this group." 

Obviously, not every club has the resources or access to do something like this, but when this much effort is made, it is not only impressive, but gratifying to see so much thought and effort put into a website.

Grammar Police:  I found at least three grammar errors.  A site with this much professionalism should be perfect in the grammar department.  Summons issued--correct these violations!  Also, revise your discussion on what to wear--"business casual" would be enough.

With a few adjustments, this club is a serious contender for best TM website in the world!  We could use your expertise to upgrade our own sites!

Honorable mention to Early Bird Toastmasters for a nicely done masthead, a good concept on the meeting roles page (with pictures) and showing local people!

Karl Herbst, DTM
