The “MyKansas” feature offers users the ability to customize and save their own front page. Users can control their page by adding, deleting, or moving information sets, called “tiles,” based on their own preferences. They can even create a custom “tile” to house their favorite links for easy access during future visits to Kansas.gov. Customized tiles can also be designed by government offices, which creates a more dynamic state portal by featuring links and services specific to each agency.
“With Kansas.gov, the state’s elected officials have never been closer,” said Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. “With the click of a button, e-mail can express the concerns of our citizens in a way that used to take days. A simple electronic search can provide the information that once took hours – or even a trip to a state office. Perhaps most importantly, the easier things become, the more money our state saves.”
Highly used and seasonal services are showcased visually across the top of the page in the rotating service bar. Up to 18 services can be featured in this highly visible section of the state Web site. A “bubble” appears when the visitor hovers over one of these features to provide helpful information about the service. In addition, the new online photo gallery provides a beautiful array of Kansas photos within its “lightbox” display feature.
The state’s earliest Web-based services were launched in 1992, and www.Kansas.gov now hosts an average of 34 million unique visitors and processes more than 3.3 million online transactions annually. The current design was launched on May 31, 2007.
