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.
