REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WEBSITE REDEVELOPMENT - 2014
Issue Date: January 28, 2014 - Closing Date: February 12, 2014 4:00PM
1. SUMMARY
The Halifax Pride Committee (“Halifax Pride”) Request proposals to redesign, redevelop, host, maintain, and support its public website (www.halifaxpride.com), the “Project”. The Project will be a concept-to-completion production.
The purpose of this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) is to seek submissions (“Proposals”) from those interested in being awarded a contract (“Proponents”) to complete the Project and to provide information about concepts, features, and design functions that must be incorporated in the Project. The RFP also establishes a process through which Proposals will be evaluated, and either selected or rejected by the Halifax Pride Committee’s Board of Directors.
2. ABOUT HALIFAX PRIDE
2.1. COMMUNITY
Halifax was founded in 1749; history, seafaring culture, and urban adventure come together in Halifax, our vibrant capital city by the sea. A walk along the historic Halifax waterfront reveals everything from tall ships and museums to harbour cruises and the largely attended Halifax Pride Festival, 4th largest in Canada. Venture through our downtown where you’ll find 17th and 18th century architecture, galleries, museums, theatres, and boutique shops. We also have the most pubs per capita in all of North America!
2.2. CURRENT WEBSITE
The current Halifax Pride website is hosted in the cloud and uses an out of date Wordpress plugin as the content managing system. It is difficult to maintain due to the numerous redundancies and inefficient updating processes. The site was built as a make-shift solution and was not intended to remain in use for this amount of time. The websites compatibility with modern web browsers is becoming an ever more pressing issue. There is currently no mobile-friendly version of the site and the site is not touch-interface friendly.
