pingVision has won a W3 Award in the Magazine category for the website for Popular Science, PopSci.com. The W³ Awards honors creative excellence on the web, and recognizes the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning sites, marketing programs, and video work created for the web.

This is the third award pingVision has won for the PopSci website, having won a Gold Horizon Award in the Magazine/News category earlier this year and the Best Drupal Showcase award at DrupalCon Boston 2008.

The PopSci website was developed in Drupal 5, with custom functionality that resulted in some new contributed modules, and involved full migrations from Vignette (with a massive Oracle database) and TypePad. (Read our PopSci.com case study posted on Drupal.org and right here on the pingVision website.)
