Official state of Alabama website awarded by
two prestigious award competitions
The state of Alabama received international recognition for its
website, Alabama.gov, by the W3 and Davey Award Competitions. The
website was presented with a silver award in both competitions,
highlighting the site’s user-friendly design in the government
category. This is the third consecutive year the website has been
recognized by both competitions.
Alabama.gov is the official government Web portal for the state
of Alabama. This year’s site focused on usability and concise
designs for optimal use. Some of the user-friendly enhancements to
its functionality include:
- Re-organized content grouping and
search feature
- Sleek and navigable design
- Enhanced menu options
- Updated social media portal
An international panel of judges, consisting of industry
professionals with diverse backgrounds, evaluated categories
ranging from online advertising to mobile applications. The 2017
winning entries for both competitions showcase the industry’s best
interactive media solutions including websites, mobile
applications, print media, interactive displays, public exhibits,
online advertising, video, email, and more.
The Alabama.gov website was redesigned at no cost to taxpayers
through Alabama Interactive’s partnership with the state. The
partnership allows the company to provide digital government
applications and services to state agencies, boards, commissions,
political subdivisions, local government agencies, and
quasi-government agencies within the state of Alabama. Alabama
Interactive works with more than 60 state agencies, and manages
more than 250 online applications through a self-funded model.
About the W3 Awards
The W3 Awards honors creative excellence on the Web, and
recognizes the creative and marketing professionals behind
award-winning websites, Web video and online marketing programs.
Simply put, the W3 is the first major Web competition to be
accessible to the biggest agencies, the smallest firms, and
everyone in between. Small firms are as likely to win as Fortune
500 companies and international agencies.
The W3 Awards is sanctioned and judged by the Academy of
Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of
top-tier professionals from a “Who's Who” of acclaimed media,
advertising, and marketing firms. Please visit aiva.org for a full

About the Davey Awards
The Davey Awards exclusively honor the “Davids” of creativity,
the finest small agencies, firms and companies worldwide. David
defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock - the
sort of thing small agencies do each year. The annual International
Davey Awards honors the achievements of the “Creative Davids,” who
derive their strength from big ideas rather than big budgets. The
Davey Awards is the leading awards competition specifically for
smaller agencies as they compete with their peers to win the
recognition they deserve. Please visit www.daveyawards.com for more
