Validity of a Website Award

Just an idea....


In the past, FIRST had awarded website awards and stopped awarding them in the past four years. As of the 2017 season, there are no website awards being distributed, and I am of the opinion that they should still be awarded.

Code:
Teams with FIRST's website as their own: 946 (16.12%)
Teams with "Null" Websites: 1601 (27.28%)
Total Percentage of Teams w/o Websites: 43.40%
Even with the advent of free web hosting via tools like GitHub Pages, teams simply don't seen to be able to get websites up to show off their team.

Please note that my calculations do not include teams that use social media websites as their team website (eg. Facebook or Twitter.)

I feel like having a small website award, sponsored by GitHub, Microsoft, Amazon, or Google would make in incredible amount of sense. I feel this is especially the case if the sponsor would be willing and able to give an auxiliary reward of some hosting to make things easier on less experienced or less technical teams, and / or offer Email hosting (esp. in the case of Google Apps for Business). I know personally that a little help can go a long way, especially with rookie / "thin" teams with limited resources.
