About the project
Scope:
- Collaborative Effort: The website will be developed through the cooperation of staff and the vendor, and facilitated under the supervision of a dedicated project management professional in the direct employ of the vendor.
- Skilled Team: Vendor will supply a team of user experience, design and development professionals to supplement the development process led by the project manager. This team should include staff members skilled in event website user experience, navigation and information architecture, website design, accessibility, and support and training of the content management system.
- Proven Development Process: Vendor should have a proven development process and flexible timeline structure that favors the availability and time commitment of staff.
- Proven Content Management System: The proposed content management software must be a proven platform for website development and website architecture. Development that is requested and approved by staff should be performed by the vendor utilizing agile software development methodologies that encourage collaboration between the developer and the town.
- Internal Development Staff: We prefer a vendor utilizing its own development staff rather than subcontracting pieces of the project development to additional vendors.
Design Guidelines and Qualifications
The design of the website should be welcoming, attractive and created by a member or members of the vendor’s professional design staff. The final version of the design should be a collaborative effort between the staff and the vendor, incorporating elements that effectively represent the organization’s brand and image through a data- driven and consultative development process. The vendor should utilize a data-driven design process to gather information to complete a comprehensive redesign of our website. The techniques should include the best practices of usability and user experience:
- Stakeholder Survey: The vendor should survey key stakeholders – elected officials, managers, content creators, internal users from our organization with the purpose of validating goals and tasks for the new website.
- Online Community Survey: The vendor should utilize an online community survey to gather key information about the level of satisfaction and to determine the most common tasks and potential goals of users.
- Homepage Heat Mapping: The vendor should use heat mapping to collect information about every action taken on the current site to review functionality and behavior. The heat mapping should include where people have clicked, scrolled and hovered on the page.
- Accessibility Validation (WCAG 2.0): The vendor should analyze the accessibility of the current site and make recommendations for the new site.
