PROPOSAL SUBMISSION Developers wishing to
submit proposals should do so no later than August 13, 2013.
Proposals should be sent by email to: info@teamsurvivor.org
and should include links to developer’s own website as well as to other sites
they have developed in the past 24 months. Questions concerning this RFP may be
directed to The National Association of Team Survivor (NATS) board of

ISSUE
The current website for NATS www.teamsurvivor.org was created
approximately 6 years ago. It consists of static website pages and contains
nearly 50 pages with roughly 2 photographs per page. The layout and navigation
is poor and making changes or updates to the site is difficult and not
user-friendly.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Board of Directors of NATS is
interested in receiving proposals to create a professional, clean, responsive
and dynamic website resource for our affiliates and their members. The
finished product should have a consistent look and feel to all pages (fonts,
graphics and color schemes), load rapidly and provide easy navigation between
pages. The new site should be a responsive / mobile-friendly site that is
easily viewed and navigated on mobile devices, however, it is not required that
the site be specifically designed and developed as a “Mobile” site.
The existing site, www.teamsurvivor.org
should be used as an example of what is required on the new site. The new
site should include but not be limited to:
1. Links to corporate
sponsors and our national charity event, The Iron Girl Triathlon series
2. Skin third-party
interfaces for seamless user experiences to sites such as Active.com for member
registrations to events and CaféPress.com for Merchant services
3. Affiliates page, with
links to existing Affiliate sites
4. Affiliate page
‘template’ to be used when new affiliates are formed as their new website
5. All photos and
references to Danskin (prior corporate and event sponsor) must be removed
6. Be registered with
the major search engines to ensure the website is listed
7. Be Search Engine
Optimized so the website can be found when Internet users search for the
website using keyword phrases
8. Use a Content
Management System (CMS) capable of being maintained and updated by NATS,
including the ability to:
a. Upload images and
place into website pages
b. Easily create and add
new website pages
WEBSITE DESIGN
The website should have a modern,
contemporary design, which utilizes the existing NATS logo and color. The new
website should use several main navigation links or graphics, with drop-down
lists of sub-pages so the user can easily navigate to any website page within
the website.
HOSTING
Proposals should include: Location of host
servers, Number of servers, Server up-rate%. It is anticipated that NATS
personnel will update page content as needed, therefore proposals should
include quotes for initial training in site maintenance. Proposals should
include quotes to have the site's creator maintain the site as well.
TECHNOLOGY
Website technology should ensure all
best-practices are in place for future site growth. Proposals should
include all software, interfaces, analytics etc. that developer intends to
implement.
PROPOSAL EVALUATION
Proposals will be evaluated based
on previous experience creating similar websites, quality of previous work,
time to completion and costs.
Proposals should specifically include:
1. A list of similar
websites created within the past 36 months, including the web address and
contact person at the organization/corporation for which the site was created.
2. Project timeline
