ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- (Business Wire)
Maryland celebrates its award-winning, citizen-centric website, www.Maryland.gov,
honored nationally and internationally by nine prestigious organizations
this year and boasting 39 awards since 2014. These honors recognize
Maryland.gov as a leader in delivering a best-in-class communication
platform and recognize its impact to the evolution of digital media and
interactivity of government website design to better serve the citizens
in the state of Maryland.
“The Maryland Department of Information Technology is proud of the
evolution of Maryland.gov. These awards are a testament to our ability
to keep pace with current IT trends and consumer preferences, in an
effort to provide citizen-centric IT solutions to Marylanders,” said
Acting Secretary, Mike Leahy.
Maryland.gov provides a gateway for more than 87 million visitors to
agency websites and hundreds of time-saving digital government services.
Agencies and visitors have access to payment processing gateways,
real-time social media mashup for more than 300 agencies, help desk with
live chat, interactive events and public meetings calendar, and
citizen-centric Google site search.
Maryland.gov’s engaging design was developed with a mobile-first
approach to serve the 42 million mobile visitors. The portal utilizes
responsive design techniques for flexible display on smartphone, tablet,
desktop or laptop devices.
Maryland’s use of GIS state data mashups within the NearYou geo-location
mapping service integrates the Motor Vehicle Administration’s queue
system with office locations to display current wait times at branch
offices. State park, agency locations, and even state jobs are visibly
displayed using this citizen-centric feature. Maryland.gov is truly
cutting edge, putting citizens’ needs at the forefront of design.
The Maryland.gov website was developed for the state of Maryland at no
cost by NIC Maryland, through a statewide, self-funded digital
government master services agreement with the State Department of
Information Technology (DoIT).
