The company is accepting proposals for graphic design services to support a strategic overhaul of their corporate website: http://www.metier.com. The purpose of this RFP is to provide a fair evaluation for all candidates and to provide candidates with the evaluation criteria against which they will be judged.
This project will reinvent the company's website presence with an interactive, image-driven site that will provide a positive and meaningful introduction the organization and its product.
Scope
Graphic design services for the website redesign project will involve the execution of the design vision as outlined by Metier. Specific deliverables can be divided into four key areas:
Navigation Design
Metier has a preliminary concept for design of the website's navigation. Graphic support will be required to support this innovative concept, which will be shared upon execution of a mutual non-disclosure agreement with Metier.
Website Templates
This portion of the project will include the creation of professional-quality mockups for Metier's internal development team to translate into live web pages. Preliminary mockups and concepts will be provided by Metier. Up to ten unique page templates will be required.
Screenshots
Metier is seeking graphic designer support to enhance the quality of screenshots of our software, WorkLenz. For the website project, this will include work on approximately 25 existing images. This will also include adding tilt and shadow boxes to showcase the screenshots on the website.
Other Graphics
The new website will require several miscellaneous other graphics to fit the look and feel of the site overhaul. These will specifically include:
A simplified version of our current Metier logo
Buttons, such as "Download White Paper" or "Apply Now"
Icons, specifically "Chat Now"
All content and graphics will become Metier's sole property upon completion of the website redesign project. We would therefore like the deliverables to be available in .SVG format so that our internal web developers can manipulate the images for use with HTML5.
