DES MOINES, Iowa -- (Business Wire)
Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds unveiled a new
mobile-first website for the state of Iowa enabling citizens, visitors,
and businesses to have greater access to information and services.
Iowa’s new Web portal, available at www.Iowa.gov,
features a streamlined interface which can be accessed across multiple
device platforms and web browsers, optimized search results with
associated agency and service information, statistical information and
graphs for quick interpretation of data, and dynamic content with social
media feeds from Twitter and Facebook.
“The recent redesign of www.Iowa.gov
makes it easier than ever for Iowans to utilize multiple government
services,” said Governor Branstad. “We use technology to transform how
government communicates so citizens and businesses can access
information anytime, anywhere.”
Lt. Gov. Reynolds added, “Our Administration has been committed to
government transparency from the very beginning. The new upgrade of this
website is another step in improving transparency in state government.”
Iowa.gov
is built on the Drupal platform, delivering the security, accessibility,
and functionality key to eGovernment success. It was developed in
cooperation with several key state agencies, focused on providing a
streamlined interface for visitors using desktop computers or mobile
devices like smartphones and tablets. In addition to the accessibility
features, the dynamic content, presented in a quick and compliant-coded
manner, ensures that the website is fully accessible to the broadest
range of Web browsers.
The State’s Official Website is designed and maintained by Iowa
Interactive at no cost to taxpayers through a public-private partnership
with Iowa Interactive, LLC and the Iowa Office of the Chief Information
Officer (OCIO).
