This is the third consecutive year NIC state government partners took all of the Top 5 honors. The rankings were announced by the Center for Digital Government as part of its annual “Best of the Web” competition.

For the first time in the state’s history, Maryland took top honors, ranking as the best state government website in the country. The official state website, http://www.maryland.gov, was recognized for its state-of-the-art Enterprise Widget Platform. This platform provides state agencies with centralized and standardized code allowing for rapid development and deployment of a variety of widgets. These widgets include NearYou, Online Services, Google Site Search and Header, which are available across state agencies expanding the state’s open data platform.

Rounding out the Top 5 were Utah in second place, Mississippi in third place, Texas in fourth place, and Indiana and Nebraska tied for fifth place. NIC partner states Iowa and Rhode Island were recognized as finalists.

“Congratulations to our state government partners and our team in Maryland for taking top honors in this year’s Best of the Web competition,” said Harry Herington, NIC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “For nearly 25 years our company has focused on making government more accessible for constituents. I applaud Maryland’s success in finding new ways to quickly deploy important digital government services.”
