- Net Diatom, a tech startup in the Wabash Valley, earns Website Design Award for COVID website https://www.covidscreening.online from the Global Web Awards. Global Web Award: June 10, 2020 The Global Web Awards named Net Diatom Award winners for the work done in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team is noted as having released the most up to date data available via the Tableau Aggregated Coronavirus Data Set in use. Tableau put together a data set including COVID-19 data from the World Health Organization, Johns Hopkins, and NextStrain which is represented in the most comprehensive visual data available online today. Net Diatom is a web design company located in Marshall, IL in Clark County and is a member of the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce. The website was brought about during the business shut down as company owner and lead programmer Jeremy D Higgs chose to use his own funding to keep the company moving. In response to a DEVPOST hackathon, the website for COVID information was born.
The site initially had an overall well-received response initially as interviews and news articles circulated early on. Daniel Moore, a member of the website team that ultimately produced the content, was interviewed on a radio show in which he talked about the importance of accurate information and fact-checked stats. This officially marks the first time in the company's history that they have received a website design award. Net Diatom was most recently nominated for work on a reputation defense platform at the beginning of 2019 but has never won a nomination until now.
