Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Website Design
The City is seeking to update its website to enhance the user experience, simplify content management, and provide better information and customer service to its residents and businesses, while meeting high standards for design quality and visual appeal.
The City of Ione is seeking to update its website to enhance the user experience, simplify
content management, and provide better information and customer service to its residents and
businesses, while meeting high standards for design quality and visual appeal.
Effective websites provide dynamic content that keeps users engaged and coming back.
Effective websites also must ensure that content sought is easy to find and that navigation
remains user friendly. In Ione, the management of online content is decentralized to some
extent, with the assistance of a contract webmaster. The City would like to fully decentralize
content management to multiple content managers in each City department under the
oversight of the City Manager.
The City of Ione seeks the assistance of a company that can accomplish all of the functionality
identified in this RFQ but has the flexibility of providing this functionality over time, if needed
due to budgetary constraints. The City also seeks a company that has the capability of
integrating additional features that may be needed in the future.
The City’s website provides a tremendous amount of site content in a static format. This
information, as well as the more static content information, is submitted by various
departments to the City Manager and to our independent web contractor for posting.
The City is actively seeking a qualified web vendor to replace the existing website. The City's
emphasis is on incorporating extensive content management tools and database driven
architecture while providing a user-friendly and intuitive site structure and an interface that is
both attractive and ADA compliant
