The Best in Class award is the highest honor bestowed by the
Interactive Media Awards (IMA). It represents the very best in
planning, execution and overall professionalism. In order to win
this award, a site has to successfully pass through a comprehensive
judging process, achieving very high marks in each of the judging
criteria - an achievement earned by only a fraction of sites in the
IMA competition each year.
"This award is further validation that the State of Maryland is
a leader in the industry, able to effectively and efficiently
develop powerful and service driven websites for our citizens,"
said David Garcia, Maryland Secretary of Information
Technology.
Maryland.gov provides a gateway for more than 84 million
visitors to agency websites and hundreds of time-saving digital
government services, including vehicle registration renewals,
vehicle safety inspections, professional licensing, permits and
business registrations. Agencies and visitors have access to
payment processing gateways, a real-time social media mashup for
more than 300 agencies, help desk, and interactive events and
public meetings calendar.
The citizen-centric design provides easy access to a Google site
search with custom filters based on content type — pages, services,
social media, publications, and even maps. The responsive design
allows for a lean mobile experience, with seamless expandable
content for the more than 42 million mobile visitors.
The site also utilizes the new, state-of-the-art Enterprise

and deployment of a variety of widgets. These widgets include
