Re-imagining Hawaii.gov

Hawaii.gov lead Russell Castagnaro discusses his team’s work redesigning and developing the state’s new website .

Castagnaro shares the technology behind the site, implementing responsive web design and the role open source played in the development process. The platform’s main portal leverages Jekyll to display what he calls “stynamic” content, and WordPress multisite instances for agency websites.

A dedicated developers page highlights the technology behind the development, including a growing list of application programming interfaces Castagnaro says civic hackers can use to build their own Hawaii.gov.
