Updated Maine state website features sleek new
design
Maine.gov is always focused on meeting the needs of its users.
Every year the design of the state website is adapted to align with
new demands. The newly refreshed Web portal, launched April 29,
addresses today’s needs for immediate, mobile-friendly access to
government information and secure online services. In addition, the
official state website provides new resources for constituents
through open data initiatives, news, and notification services.
“Each year over 11 million visitors access
the Maine.gov website searching for resources,
information or to use one of our convenient online services,”
stated Governor Paul R. LePage. “The number of visitors is only
going to increase in the future. So we need to continually improve
the user experience wherever we can, across all platforms.”
The new Maine.gov features a flat, simplified layout with
parallax scrolling, which allows the site to use high quality
images without the loss of speed or efficiency. Maine’s
standards-compliant coding also ensures that the site works well
across the broadest possible range of Web browsers and is fully
accessible.
Using responsive design, the portal automatically adjusts for a
desktop, tablet, or smartphone. The mobile site groups content into
a unique tiled arrangement, displaying an off-canvas menu, which
slides out for easy navigation. Additionally, the portal’s one-stop
services, convenient notification options, and excellent customer
service make Maine.gov a well-rounded gateway for state resources
and information.
“The redesigned Maine.gov portal was created to maximize
efficiency within the user experience,” commented Maine’s Chief
Technology Officer Greg McNeal. “Large background images have been
removed and the design has been flattened and simplified in order
to consume less bandwidth, allowing it to load faster on slower
networks and mobile platforms, and improving accessibility for the
public.”
Moving forward Maine.gov will continue to be a tremendous
resource for transacting government business. The site currently
processes approximately 4 million transactions annually, offering
over 450 unique online services and 300,000 pages of content.
The state’s official website was redesigned at no cost to Maine
taxpayers through a collaboration between Maine’s eGovernment
partner, Maine Information Network, LLC., a subsidiary of NIC, and
the state of Maine.
