RFP : Redesign and develop website in Massachusetts, United States

By continuing to use an open source content management system (Drupal) we’d like for http://www.acm-ne.org to
serve as a directory for the region through support the following major activities:
1) Serve as a regional repository of information on community media in the northeast
2) Enable an easy process for user contribution of job postings, events, and resources.
3) Serve as the hub for our annual spring conference and annual fall video festival.
The visual display of information on the site must promote usability for a multigenerational
demographic.
Enable multi users with varying levels of technical proficiency to easily contribute a variety of
specific custom content types:
● events
● job postings
● front page stories
● member resources
● video festival submissions
● conference registrations
● conference topics, materials and discussion
● custom forms for nominating award winners
Aggregation and display of data from national, individual and chapter websites. Provide
necessary theming tweaks to display this data in an accessible fashion.
We have two conferences a year, one in the spring and one in the fall. The one in the Fall is
a Video Festival where people submit videos. We’d strongly look for guidance in moving the
festival online, however the crucial issue of bandwidth capacity is the core of access and this
festival must remain accessible to those with limited and slow internet connections.
