Credits vs. Thanks vs. Acknowledgments

English Other IT (Information Technology)
I need give a name (title) to a web page enlisting those who participated in creation of a web site.

Which one will be better "Credits" or "Thanks" or "Acknowledgments"?

- Thanks sounds too simple to me

- I am not sure about "credits" because the "main contributor" - the author is not listed on the page he is the one who signs below

- "Acknowledgments" are used in books and I am not sure if it is appropriate in a web page

The structure of the page is as follows:

Here, I would like to thank all those wonderful people who contributed to the creation of this project and without whose help the project could never be completed, and namely:

XXX for YYY

agree Tony M : 'thanks' could be OK, but is rather informal; 'credits' implies a list of people and the jobs they did (like a film), which is probably not applicable here; 'acks' is more vague
