Maine.Gov Web Portal Continues to Receive
Recognition and Accolades
The state of Maine received national recognition for
www.Maine.gov in the annual “Best of the Web” competition sponsored
by the Center for Digital Government (CDG). Maine.gov was ranked as
one of the top state government web portals for 2015.
The Center for Digital Government is a national research and
advisory institute that focuses on information technology and best
practices in state and local government. Maine.gov was evaluated in
a number of areas including innovation, web-based delivery of
public services, efficiency and accessibility. For the thirteenth
time in 15 years, Maine.gov has placed among the top 10 government
websites in their prestigious “Best of the Web” competition.
“The State of Maine has set high expectations for accessibility
and convenience when it comes to the Maine.gov website and its
online services,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “The state has been
diligent in maintaining and growing its web presence. When we
receive outside recognition of this hard work, it is always
appreciated.”
The redesigned Maine.gov portal was created to maximize the
user’s experience by utilizing 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 different web browsers.
Using responsive design, the portal automatically adjusts for a
desktop, tablet, or smartphone and features 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.
“We are once again honored to receive such recognition from the
Center for Digital Government,” commented Maine’s Chief Technology
Officer Greg McNeal. “Maine.gov has been a national eGovernment
success story over the past 16 years. We will continue to look for
creative and innovative solutions involving government interaction,
while also maintaining and improving the accessibility and
efficiency of the website. Maine.gov and its online services were
developed to serve and support citizens and businesses alike and
that will never change.”
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 465 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.
