Request for Proposals IFRS Foundation – Subscription website redesign

Request for Proposals IFRS Foundation – Subscription website redesign

Purpose of Document

The IFRS Foundation is looking for a partner to work with on the redesign of its subscription website.

This document lays out the key information for applicants to be able to make a proposal to the Foundation on potential approaches and solutions.

The Foundation would like to have all declarations of interest communicated ASAP and no later than 1 November.

The Foundation would like to conclude the selection process by 8 November. With this in mind successful candidates will be invited to present their proposals and costings to the Foundation in the week commencing 4 November.

Implementation will commence, pending supplier availability, soon after, with a target completion date for the design element of December 2013.

Introduction

The Foundation intends to embark on a project to improve the commercial performance of eIFRS (http://eifrs.ifrs.org/eifrs)—the Foundation’s web-based subscription product, which provides access to its Standards, publications and supporting materials—and to provide a level of user experience expected of a modern, professional information service.

Recently the Foundation undertook a feasibility study to investigate customer demand for redevelopment of eIFRS. This was supported by qualitative and quantitative customer research. A number of clear and consistent messages emerged from the research, for example:

(a) whilst recognising that eIFRS has a wealth of good content, users find the service opaque and difficult to use. They would like to see more intuitive and seamless navigation;

(b) the user experience is not intuitive, as a result of which users report they ‘find’ content or ‘stumble on’ content rather than effectively navigating to it. Content organisation needs to better support typical user workflows; and

(c) users also reported that the search function was confusing and misleading.

In summary, organising the content effectively and providing the user with easy and intuitive navigation to the content will be key to the success of the project.

These are some of the issues that must be addressed to ensure that our products also deliver on our mission of acting in the public interest.

Website Redesign: Request for Proposal (RFP)

Introduction 

The Homeless Alliance of Western New York (HAWNY) is a not-profit independent organization of over one hundred organizations working together to facilitate dialogue and strategic action to end homelessness and promote public policies that address the needs of persons experiencing homelessness and low-income population. 

Project Background 

HAWNY website address is www.wnyhomeless.org . The website was created for the purpose of providing a free information resource that is addressing issues related to poverty and homelessness in our community. 

What prompted the redesign of the website? 

  • The site in general is dated and difficult to navigate. 
  • We are using WordPress to manage the web page but it’s not easy to navigate the changes. 
  • We want the site to better describe what we do as a Continuum of Care. 
  • Need to consolidate the BAS-NET page which is currently set as a Word Press file. 
  • The Poverty Challenge page needs more visual impact 
  • The site should list our partners and those that receive funding 
  • Links to homeless and poverty data such as our annual reports, local and national research papers from our partners is not easy to find. 
  • We need a human services information page that is easily accessible to the public that will link people and providers to programs and services or 211. 
  • The site does not have a readily accessible contact form. 
  • Links do not open in a different tab.
  • We can’t upload files larger than 2 MB and this limits our research page. We are currently linking files to Sky Drive. 
  • Need page for both staff and board members. 
  • The email boxes are currently limited. We need about 7-10 email boxes with a minimum capacity of 250MB each. 
  • Not easy for people to find minutes and agendas of our monthly meetings. 

Project Goals 

1. To make it easier for readers to find content 
2. To make the website more visually appealing, but very easy to navigate

 Copy 

The Homeless Alliance will write the copy for the redesigned site with the assistance from the vendor. 

Content Management and Ownership 

The content of the website will be managed in-house by non-technical staff. The staff will be required to undergo some basic training on how to do updates. The Homeless Alliance will own all content and design. 

Required Elements  

  1. A dynamic donation page 
  2. A real blog with approved users 
  3. Social media integration 
  4. Internal search for services, documents 
  5. A calendar of events page 
  6. Unlimited or larger capacity web space and email 

ADA Compliance 

The website should be compliant with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Google analytics currently installed but are open to suggestions as to the improvement of traffic reporting.
