The Web Marketing Association recently awarded Alabama’s official state website, http://www.alabama.gov, with the Government Standard of Excellence WebAward for outstanding achievement in Web development. More than 2,000 entries from 42 countries were judged in 96 industry categories during this year's competition, with entries being scored on design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation and use of technology.

“Alabama Interactive winning the Government Standard of Excellence WebAward is a direct result of our team’s determination to excel. We will continue to evolve and execute based on our commitment to our state partners’ best interests,” said Barrett Gilbreath, general manager of Alabama Interactive. “Together with our state partners, we look forward to continuing to make a positive impact on the way citizens and businesses interact with Alabama government.”

Alabama Interactive, the state’s official eGovernment solutions partner, completed the Alabama.gov site redesign without the use of taxpayer dollars, and based new design enhancement on citizen feedback. Alabama.gov now features a smart search option for residents, professionals and businesses to efficiently connect users to Alabama government services. The informative website allows visitors to more easily discover useful local, state and federal government information including a live chat option and the ability to sign up for emergency alerts. The site also features an interactive social media portal, which provides links to RSS feeds, Twitter and Facebook pages, and more from elected state officials and representatives.
