The official website of CUHK has received the IMA (Interactive Media Award) 'Best in Class' award among 132 entries submitted in the 'University' category in 2015.

The IMA Best of Class award is given to outstanding websites through a series of evaluation by distinguished professionals and experts in web-related business. All submitted website entries are scored using five specific criteria. Scoring 490 out of a total of 500, the CUHK website obtained full marks for both 'Content' and 'Feature Functionality', and nearly full marks for 'Design', 'Usability' and 'Standards Compliance'.

The CUHK website has been enhanced to a fully-responsive design since August 2015, targeting prospective and current students, alumni, staff, media and visitors. Accessibility has also been incorporated into the planning, design and development stages to ensure the availability of web content to the widest possible audience.

Apart from the IMA award, the CUHK website has also received the Gold Award in the Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme 2015 in the Website Stream and was voted one of 'My Favourite Websites'.
