Honoring Outstanding Achievement in Website Design and Development

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- (Business Wire)
Maryland’s award-winning website, www.Maryland.gov,
was recently recognized as Best in Class by the Interactive Media Awards
in the Government Website category. This honor recognizes that
Maryland.gov has contributed to the evolution of digital media and
incorporated interactivity in the website design to better serve the
citizens in the state of Maryland.
Maryland.gov provides a gateway for more than 87 million visitors to
agency websites and hundreds of time-saving digital government services,
including vehicle registration renewals, vehicle safety inspections,
professional licensing, permits and business registrations. Agencies and
visitors have access to payment processing gateways, a real-time social
media mashup for more than 300 agencies, help desk, and interactive
events and public meetings calendar.
The citizen-centric design provides easy access to a Google site search
with custom filters based on content type — pages, services, social
media, publications, and even maps. The responsive design allows for a
lean mobile experience, with seamless expandable content for the more
than 42 million mobile visitors.
Maryland’s innovative social media strategy promotes social engagement
by deeply integrating Twitter feeds throughout the site. This approach
provides meaningful updates and information relative to the section of
the site being visited, delivering a best-in-class communications
platform.
Maryland’s use of GIS state data mash ups 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).
