Maryland has launched a rebuilt Maryland.gov designed to simplify how residents access state services and benefits. The new platform emphasizes accessibility and consistent navigation across agencies as part of a broader effort to modernize Maryland’s digital infrastructure.
Governor Moore announced the launch of a redesigned Maryland.gov, positioning the State’s website as a streamlined “digital front door” for accessing public benefits, services, and government resources. The new site reflects the administration’s broader effort to improve customer service and make state government easier to navigate for residents and visitors.
Led by the Maryland Department of Information Technology’s Maryland Digital Service and created by executive action under the Moore Administration, the redesign was shaped by resident feedback and collaboration across dozens of state agencies. The goal was to simplify access to frequently used services, including job and career support, food and nutrition assistance, unemployment insurance, transportation services, and business licensing. To improve navigation, Maryland.gov now organizes content into five primary categories: Benefits; Services; Business and Work; Visit and Explore; and Your Government, allowing users to locate relevant information more quickly.
The new Maryland.gov is more than a visual redesign. It’s a reflection of how we are rebuilding State websites to make them more accessible for the people we serve. You shouldn’t need a degree in state government to know everything Maryland can do for you—if you live or work here, Maryland.gov is the perfect place to learn more about everything our great state has to offer, said Maryland Department of Information Technology Secretary Katie Savage.
The rebuilt platform emphasizes consistency across state agency websites, enhanced accessibility features for Marylanders with disabilities, and reduced reliance on technical or bureaucratic language. The Maryland Digital Service is also working with agencies to modernize additional state websites to the new platform, with dozens expected to launch later this year.
The Maryland.gov relaunch builds on several recent digital modernization initiatives, including the One Application for Benefits portal, AI service delivery grants supporting more efficient administration of programs such as SNAP and Medicaid, and a modernized COMAR platform that improves public access to state regulations. These efforts signal an ongoing push to make Maryland’s digital infrastructure more user-centered.
