Center for Digital Government honors official
state website for ninth straight year
This week the State of Arkansas announced that its official
website, Arkansas.gov, has been named the third best state
government website in the country in the annual “Best of the Web”
competition sponsored by the Center for Digital Government. This
marks the ninth year in a row the state portal has received a top
10 national ranking, including its first place win in 2011.
Arkansas.gov was recognized for its innovative technology, ease
of use, modern design and mobile payment services. The site was
completely redesigned in May 2013 with a mobile-friendly layout,
smart search features and the nation’s first SMS government
assistant.
“Arkansas is focused on making government accessible to our
increasingly mobile-connected citizens anytime, anywhere, from any
online device,” Governor Mike Beebe said. “This state has a rich
history of innovation, and I am proud that Arkansas has received
this honor, which will reinforce our position as a national leader
in online government.”
As the single, comprehensive online government resource for the
state, Arkansas.gov provides more than 1,200 online services and
websites for state and local government agencies. All of the
services are provided by the Information Network of Arkansas
through flexible funding models, often at no cost to the State.
The Center for Digital Government has honored the best state
websites in the country for the past 15 years. Arkansas.gov has
placed in the top 10 for each of the past nine years, winning third
in 2009, second in 2010 and first in 2011. This year the state also
received three other high-profile accolades from the Center for
Digital Government: a Digital Government Achievement Award for an
Arkansas Secretary of State digital automation project, a Best Fit
Integrator Award for the Arkansas Department of Higher Education’s
YOUniversal Financial Aid System, and a high B+ ranking in the
Digital States Survey.
