The state’s official website recognized for
outstanding Web development
The Web Marketing Association recently awarded Alabama’s
official state website, http://www.alabama.gov, with the Government
Standard of Excellence WebAward for outstanding achievement in Web
development. More than 2,000 entries from 42 countries were judged
in 96 industry categories during this year's competition, with
entries being scored on design, copy writing, innovation, content,
interactivity, navigation and use of technology.
“Alabama Interactive winning the Government Standard of
Excellence WebAward is a direct result of our team’s determination
to excel. We will continue to evolve and execute based on our
commitment to our state partners’ best interests,” said Barrett
Gilbreath, general manager of Alabama Interactive. “Together with
our state partners, we look forward to continuing to make a
positive impact on the way citizens and businesses interact with
Alabama government.”
Alabama Interactive, the state’s official eGovernment solutions
partner, completed the Alabama.gov site redesign without the use of
taxpayer dollars, and based new design enhancement on citizen
feedback. Alabama.gov now features a smart search option for
residents, professionals and businesses to efficiently connect
users to Alabama government services. The informative website
allows visitors to more easily discover useful local, state and
federal government information including a live chat option and the
ability to sign up for emergency alerts. The site also features an
interactive social media portal, which provides links to RSS feeds,
Twitter and Facebook pages, and more from elected state officials
and representatives.
