After reviewing the 130 entries in its December 2008 "Crappiest Website Contest," Orlando-based Spiderhost (spiderhost.com) chose three organizations to win a free website redesign, instead of choosing just one, as was the original plan.

Each receiving a complete website redesign, the three winners were Grubb & Ellis, a non-profit organization in the commercial real estate industry; The Alliance, an non-profit business resource for Central Florida' minority and women business community; and The Christian Service Center, a NPO that helps the homeless and needy of Central Florida.

They will also get extra features like calendars, staff bios, search functionality, and contact forms.
