[ANZ Financial Hardship Microsite]

Judges’ comment

This is an excellent microsite. It’s well laid out, has clear language, and is reassuring but not patronising in tone. It gets its message across clearly and succinctly. You’ve made great use of colour and visuals too. This microsite’s purpose and audience are very clear, as is the structure. The language is active and concise. Well done.

Layout is consistent and well thought out. But be careful with text positioning and text colours. We noticed link text flowing over onto more than one line, and text in the example persona boxes that’s a similar shade of blue to link text.

The site is commendably concise and focused.
