The Maine State Web Portal, www.Maine.gov, has been recognized by the Web Marketing Association with a Government Standard of Excellence Award for outstanding achievement in web development. More than 1,500 entries from 40 countries were evaluated during this year's competition. Since 1997, the Web Marketing Association's annual WebAward Competition has been setting the standard for quality website development.

“It’s another proud day for technology in the State of Maine. This is the fourth national and international award the Maine State Website has been honored with in 2013,” stated Maine’s Chief Technology Officer, Greg McNeal. “Maine has embraced innovation, by being one of the first states to institute a responsive design template for the website. We are also committed to being accessible; Maine’s standards-compliant coding ensures that the site works well across the broadest possible range of browsers and versions.”

Forecasting the increased use of mobile devices, the Maine.gov responsive design template was released in 2010 and has been enhanced every year to keep up with new advancements in the field of web development. The current version of the responsive portal site is flexible, fast and user-centered. When viewing Maine.gov on a smartphone, the page content is realigned into a single column of larger text with a compact navigation menu. If you view pages on a larger device such as an iPad, the content adjusts gracefully to fit the browser window. On a widescreen desktop browser, multiple columns of content and splashy imagery are fully displayed.

WebAward recipients are determined by a panel of Internet marketing, advertising, PR and design professionals who share an interest in improving the quality of website development and marketing on the Internet. These judges review sites in a combined 96 industries.
