The new site is designed around “how people actually look for information,” the Nevada Governor’s Technology Office (GTO) said Thursday in a post on LinkedIn.
“This rebuild is more than a new coat of paint,” the GTO said. “It’s a shift toward a more maintainable, more consistent and more usable web presence for the work we do every day.”
The site’s design imagines a state worker or resident looking for information by placing drop-downs including Organization, Services/Rates, Governance and more across the top to help users find what they need without needing to guess where it might be. Designers have worked to make paths to resource areas such as the Service Desk and Customer Feedback clearer.
The website is also “not static,” officials said on LinkedIn. GTO built the site on the Optimizely content management system, where the IT team creates web pages. Updates can now get published faster, all around standardized pages, with digital accessibility in mind.
Revamped government websites are a regular occurrence and are often touted as a first and important step toward increasing engagement and relevancy with users. Pennsylvania introduced a new state government website in January 2025, in an effort to make its digital services more user-friendly and accessible for constituents.
Also last year, the state of New York launched a new website July 2 to assist schools as they navigate the state’s new cellphone ban on K-12 campuses. And in May, the city of Palm Beach, Fla., introduced a new artificial intelligence-powered chatbot on its website to improve the user experience for visitors.
