HONOLULU -- (Business Wire)
The State of Hawaii was recently awarded with two top honors for the
official website of the Aloha State, Hawaii.gov. The awards were given
in unique competitions, both recognizing the website for its innovative
Web development.
The W3 Awards announced their annual award winners with Hawaii.gov
taking home the Gold in the government category. This marks the second
award to be received by the W3. In 2013, Hawaii.gov was the recipient of
the Silver award in the same category.
Linda Day, director of the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts
(IAVA), stated: “We were amazed at the caliber and quality of work we
received this year from the smallest agencies to the biggest firms
worldwide. As the Web continues to expand in new and exciting ways, our
winners continue to truly push the envelope of Internet creativity and
Web design.” 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.
Concurrently, Hawaii.gov was presented with the Government Standard of
Excellence Award by the Web Marketing Association in their 19th annual
WebAward Competition.
Upgrades to the award-winning Hawaii.gov website included:
-
Language translation
-
Geolocation mapping service allows visitors to find government
offices, EV stations, farmers markets, and more
-
277 social media pages, 1,400+ twitter followers, a Flickr photo pool,
and 30+ YouTube videos
Hawaii.gov also took a first-of-its kind approach to the gamification of
government with the creation of a new one-stop shop which allows Hawaii
residents to completely customize how they interact online with the
state on any device, anywhere, anytime – securely and reliably. My.hawaii.gov
also directly integrates nearly 60 of the 100+ online services offered
in Hawaii. For highlights of the great new features, visit m.hi.gov/myhi.
The W3 Gold and Government Standard of Excellence awards bring a grand
total of 17 awards received by Hawaii.gov since its launch in April 2013.
