In part one of my review of how US state tourism web sites have progressed over the last two years, I covered the first 25 states. Here are the remainder.
Looking through the list below and the previous one, several things stand out.
Most states are now designing for a 1024px browser. The best designs match vibrant colors and imagery with top-level visitor tools and easy access to key content.
The presentation gap between states that have redesigned their sites and those that have not feels much wider. States that have not updated their sites to match current design sensibilities are looking really dated.
