The Maine State Web Portal, www.Maine.gov, has once again
received national recognition from the Center for Digital
Government (CDG) distinguishing it as one of the top state
government web portals for 2013.
For the twelfth time in 13 years, Maine.gov has placed among the
top 10 government websites by the Center for Digital Government in
their prestigious “Best of the Web” competition. This year Maine
was awarded a fifth-place ranking.
“Every year, in some shape or form, the Maine.gov website is
honored and recognized as one of the best government resources in
the country,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “Mainers should have a
strong sense of pride that their state understands the importance
of online information and services and sets high expectations for
its web presence.”
Maine.gov is the entry portal to more than 300,000 pages of
state government content and over 1,400 online services. In 2012,
Maine.gov received over 55 million page views. Maine.gov helps
users find information, complete tasks, and stay informed with
tools such as multimedia, mobile services, email and text alerts,
Facebook, Twitter, and RSS.
One of the primary features of Maine.gov is its responsive
design. Ahead of the innovative curve, Maine.gov released its first
responsive design template in 2010 to evolve along with its user
base. Each year since then the responsive template has been updated
and new versions have been released to keep pace with advancements.
The current version of the responsive portal is flexible, fast and
user-centered.
“These awards create a great sense of competition and really
challenge states to innovate, develop efficiencies and offer
accessibility to their citizens,” stated Chief Technology Officer
Greg McNeal, who servers as the Chair of Maine’s InforME Board
overseeing Maine.gov. “Maine.gov is a site built to serve its
users. Government, at any level, has a responsibility and
obligation to provide accessible and efficient resources to empower
its citizens. Maine has consistently delivered a high quality,
innovative, online resource for the general public, and the 2013
site is no different.”
The Center for Digital Government is a national research and
advisory institute that focuses on information technology and best
practices in state and local government. Maine.gov was evaluated on
a number of areas including overall innovation, web-based delivery
of public services, efficiency and functionality.
