Governor Says It Will Help Streamline
Government and Make It More User-Friendly
Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter announced today that the state of
Idaho’s official website, idaho.gov, has a fresh, user-centric
design and significantly improved functionality.
“We want to ensure interaction with Idaho’s state government is
as pleasant and efficient as possible,” Governor Otter said. “Easy
online access to information and services that citizens and
businesses need is crucial in our increasingly digital world. I’m
pleased to announce the new website, which cost our taxpayers
nothing.”
At first glance, visitors will notice that the website makeover
leverages Idaho’s beauty by prominently featuring a scenic Gem
State photo that will change seasonally. Test users preferred
homepage designs that included landscapes, rating them as easier to
navigate, more enjoyable to use, and more trustworthy.
In addition to improved visual appeal, the homepage has been
reconfigured to more nimbly accommodate the two most common tasks
performed by users: scrolling and searching.
To efficiently handle user scrolling, homepage content is
divided into groups with easily understood category titles. The
most visited services, pages, and searches are displayed for each
category. This additional context guides website visitors to the
content they need.
Idaho.gov actively measures the most popular clicks within the
site and dynamically reprioritizes content in real time. Popular
links require only one click from the homepage.
The search results page is even more robust, with content from
online services, topics, and state agency data. The search engine
indexes all Idaho state websites and Twitter feeds. In addition,
the results page remains on idaho.gov so users still have access to
the site navigation.
Since a growing number of Idahoans access the Internet primarily
through mobile devices, idaho.gov incorporates the latest in
responsive design to maintain mobile compatibility. Additionally,
the revamped site meets international online accessibility
requirements and is screen-reader compatible.
The new version of idaho.gov is the fifth redesign in the
20-year history of the state’s official Web presence. Idaho.gov is
managed and operated without taxpayer funds through a
public-private partnership between the state and Access Idaho, a
Boise-based company.
