Hawaii.gov Ranked Among Top 10 State Government Websites

Hawaii's eGovernment web portal http://hawaii.gov and department
websites were recognized as a Finalist for best government website
by The Center for Digital Government in its annual Best of the
Web competition.
The competition, which recognizes significant achievement in the
overall web presence of state and local governments, evaluated
Hawaii’s site in a wide range of categories including overall
innovation, web-based delivery of public services, accessibility,
efficiency and functionality.
State CIO Sony Bhagowalia said, "This is the first time the
state is serving up a web portal made for the people of Hawaii. Our
team has made the site accessible, beautiful, clean, useful and
everything in between. Hawaii will serve its citizens their
government, their way."
When the new Hawaii.gov portal was deployed in April of this
year, it was widely recognized as one of the most attractive and
innovative government sites in the US. It is designed for mobile
with a touch-first responsive web design. Built for touch, speech,
and with accessibility for all users, the new design showcases the
very best in Web design thinking. Highlighting Hawaii’s diversity,
native culture, and the uniqueness of each island, Hawaii.gov also
provides a Web experience that truly reflects
the Aloha State.
The Office of Information Management and Technology collaborated
with the state’s Internet portal provider, Hawaii information
Consortium LLC (HIC), a wholly owned subsidiary of NIC Inc.
(NASDAQ: EGOV), to redesign Hawaii.gov and modernize the
department websites as part of the state’s larger web modernization
initiative, which launched earlier this year. Like the portal,
departments’ websites were revamped and standardized using open
source technology, and showcase the cultural heritage of
Hawaii.
"This enterprise-wide rethinking of Hawaii's government websites
was a huge shift to being much more citizen focused," said HIC's
General Manager, Russell Castagnaro, "Just hang on to your
seatbelts, we are planning to make more jaw-dropping changes before
the end of the year."
