REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL – WEBSITE REDESIGN AND UPDATE
The Tehama County Arts Council invites proposals to redesign its website, http://www.tehamaarts.org
Qualified vendors interested in being considered for this project should send a written proposal mailed to Tehama County Arts Council, PO Box 1201 , Red Bluff, CA 96080. Vendor proposals must be received by 5pm, Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Proposals may be e-mailed to tehamaarts@yahoo.com.
Proposals should include an outline of the process and cost to redesign and rebuild the website that may be updated (simple changes to text and/or photo uploading) by TCAC designated member(s) using a content management program that will easily enable that process with a minimum of training and expense.
The proposal should include costs for:
- Redesigning some of the existing pages (others will no longer be necessary);
- Incorporating a widget for Zoomaru (http://www.zoomaru.net/) to replace the current calendar page;
- Linking Sierra Nevada Regional Artist Registry (http://registry.sierranevadaartsalliance.org/)
to replace the current Artist Referral Service;
- Setting up Paypal for dues payment;
- Writing for additional or existing pages, if needed,
- Training for designated Board members,
- Incorporating a content management program into the TCAC website,
- The cost per hour for enhancements and additions to the website once it is up and operating, plus
- A project timeline,
- A list of at least three existing websites built and designed by the vendor,
- Three references, and
- A resume
Key elements to be addressed in the proposal are:
Graphic Design – Visual impact and look of the pages, unique designs for different levels of pages, look of button and other navigation tools. (Some pages we like: http://www.placerarts.org/, http://www.sierranevadaartsalliance.org/)
Information Architecture – Organization of information, user ease and ability to find information, search functions
Content Management System – Ease of maintenance by TCAC is essential. As indicated above, content from Zoomaru and the Artist Registry will comprise a large part of the site, with a designated Board member acting as administrator.
