AUGUSTA, Maine -- (Business Wire)
Maine’s official state Web portal, www.Maine.gov,
and the Bureau of Veterans’ Services website www.maine.gov/veterans/,
have recently been recognized with two different international awards
for outstanding achievement and service in the field of communication.
The Maine.gov website was honored with a Hermes Creative Award by the
Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals, while the
Bureau of Veterans’ Services website received a Communicator Award of
Distinction from the International Academy of Visual Arts.
“It’s always appreciated when the state receives recognition for its Web
presence,” commented Governor Paul R. LePage. “A great deal of time and
effort goes into creating and maintaining the state websites and online
services. These awards demonstrate the commitment we have to deliver
accurate and timely information about the variety of programs and
resources available to Maine citizens.”
Maine.gov is a portal network of more than 150 online services and
368,000 pages of Web content that allows users to conduct official
government business from their home or office. In 2016, new technologies
were implemented including parallax scrolling on the homepage, a new
state agency website template, and the deployment of four redesigned
agency websites and 44 new and enhanced online services.
The Bureau of Veterans’ Services website serves as a centralized
location for veterans and their family members to receive information
about resources and services available. The website provides several
unique features to make interaction with the Bureau easy, fast, and
usable including the following features:
-
An interactive map of nearly 400 veteran resources throughout Maine
that is searchable by various categories
-
A centralized calendar of statewide events for veterans
-
A detailed “primer” on the VA claims process that helps veterans
understand how to navigate the federal benefits system and also
provides answers to commonly-asked questions
Both Maine.gov and the Bureau of Veterans’ Services website were
developed in partnership with InforME, the state’s digital government
portal provider.
