They also said they were looking for evidence of the site's effectiveness.
Elaine Stokes, Managing Director of Schluter-Systems , said: "We were delighted to win this award as the judges are our peers within the tiling industry".
"It is particularly pleasing as we completed the first phase of a major revamp of the website during the year, improving navigation, regularly updating news items, and created a new technical advice section." In their comments published in the awards brochure, the judges said: "The Schluter site is primarily aimed at tiling fixers, architects, specifiers, stockists and distributors rather than end users".
"Therefore its style is more technically orientated and is purposely different from the 'glossy' approach needed by retailers' websites which target the end user".
"However it does have an attractive layout in corporate colours and is very easy to navigate.
Every page shows a quick link to contact details, imprint details, a 'print view' option and a 'how you got here' navigational aid.
Statistics from Google Analytics and feedback from customers show that the site is both extremely well visited and consistently proves useful to visitors.
The site links through to 14 other Schluter international websites and so offers alternatives to non-English speaking users.
The second phase of the website's revamp, which involves the website's overall design, is due to begin later this year. Request free introductory details about products from Schluter-Systems ...
