Ms.gov recognized for superior design and
functionality
The State of Mississippi’s award-winning website has been
nationally recognized again for excellence in interactive media.
Ms.gov was recently honored with the Interactive Media Awards (IMA)
Best In Class Award and the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts
W3 Award. These mark the third and fourth awards the innovative,
mobile-oriented site has received this year.
“The State of Mississippi’s website was chosen out of thousands
of entries for these highly sought-after awards,” said Dr. Craig
Orgeron, CIO and Executive Director of Mississippi Information
Technology Services. “To be recognized on the national level for
providing our citizens with a best-in-class design and supreme
usability is something we are very proud of.”
The award-winning redesign of ms.gov has delivered a new
standard to Mississippi. With citizen-focused design and increased
mobility, ms.gov is dramatically improving how citizens interact
with the state. The latest version of ms.gov is packed with
features including:
- Adaptive and responsive mobile
design
- Browser based push notifications for
alerts and news
- GeoIP mapping technology
- Flickr showcase
- User focused content
- Accessibility for all users
Award entries for both the IMA and W3 awards undergo rigorous
testing and points-based comprehensive judging processes. Work is
judged on design, creativity, usability, navigation, functionality,
visual design and ease of use. These competitions receive thousands
of entries from all over the world, of which only a small
percentage are honored. This is ms.gov’s third consecutive IMA Best
of Class and second consecutive W3 award.
Under the self-funded model of Mississippi’s eGovernment
partner, Mississippi Interactive (MSI), ms.gov’s redesign was
completed at no cost to the state or citizens. To date, the design,
maintenance and customer support efforts of ms.gov are valued at
over $500,000. For a full listing of all awards won by ms.gov,
