Websites help citizens participate in Hawaii's
legislative process
NIC Hawaii and the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) have been
nationally recognized with a Web Marketing Association award for
Outstanding Website. The award is an extraordinary honor, and LRB
received top scores in the ease of use, copywriting, content and
design criteria.
The LRB is a nonpartisan legislative service agency that
provides a wide variety of services to legislators, legislative
committees and members of the public. The agency’s previous website
was more than 15 years old with a dated design, and any updates
were difficult to make since staff were required to manually update
HTML files. The site also used a “.org” address which did not
denote an official government look and feel.
Led by NIC Hawaii, the redesign project included the creation of
two websites: one for LRB and one for the Public Access Room (PAR),
a division of LRB. NIC Hawaii worked closely with both teams to
collect, develop and design the new websites through facilitated
meetings. Built in WordPress, staff can now easily edit their web
content. The site was also moved to an official “.gov” domain.
Additional features include:
- A responsive web design that works across all mobile and tablet
devices
- Custom photos taken on-site and photos of staff members give
the site a personal touch and a stunning visual design
- A comprehensive listing of all LRB publications dating back to
1949
- An improved “Guide to Government” to find agency contact info
and descriptions for each agency
- A curated selection of daily news in iClips
- The ability to find information about the current legislature
including the session calendar, deadlines and maps
- The option to sign up for the PAR newsletter or to attend a
workshop.
- A list of tips for engaging in the legislative process
To learn more and see the new designs, visit the LRB’s website
