New features let users tailor their
interactions with State’s official website
The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) and Texas
NIC are pleased to announce a revamped Texas.gov that is focused on
delivering an experience that users can tailor to their specific
needs. As the state’s official website, Texas.gov offers a simple,
straightforward, and service-focused design that lets Texans take
care of their government business online with ease and convenience.
Recently, Texas.gov added some new features that let users further
personalize their experience and share it with others.
These new features include:
- Favorites: Users can “favorite”
links they use on a regular basis by clicking the star next to many
popular services on the site, such as driver license/ID renewal,
vehicle registration renewal, vital records, popular occupational
and professional licenses, and more. These favorites are stored in
the tools area of Texas.gov for quick and easy access later.
- Themes: Two new themes are now
available on Texas.gov – Texas State Parks and High Contrast. Texas
State Parks was the winning theme from a Twitter poll that
Texas.gov conducted earlier this year. This theme features several
crowd-sourced photos showcasing the beauty of Texas’ parks. And, in
keeping with Texas.gov’s commitment to provide an accessible
website for all Texans, the High Contrast theme better accommodates
users with visual impairments.
- Share: This functionality lets
users share via email or Twitter the sections of Texas.gov that
they find useful or interesting. The website offers more than 1,000
services that can be completed online, as well as direct access to
other helpful resources including an agency directory, map, and
more. By enabling users to share areas of the site with their
“network”, the state is continuing to grow awareness and use of
this secure, convenient resource.
- Popular Searches: Texas.gov’s
already powerful search function was further enhanced to provide
immediate access to three of the most-searched services on the
site: vehicle registration renewal, driver license renewal, and
birth certificate request.
- Back-To-Top: Texas.gov’s single
page, long-scrolling layout now offers users the ability to quickly
return to the top of the page with a simple click of the
back-to-top button.
In addition to the new features, Texas.gov continues to welcome
users with a friendly, approachable tone, delivers an organized,
filterable “Find It” table for access to more than 2,500 government
services and information links, and offers responsive design and
styling to fully accommodate users visiting from a mobile
device.
