SHIFTS Website Redesign
The University of Kansas is issuing this Request for Proposal to obtain competitive responses from vendors to provide SHIFTS Website Redesign Services, per the attached specifications, for The University of Kansas
Institute for Educational Research and Public Service , Lawrence, KS.
The vendor shall redesign and build an appropriate website for Middle and High School students, addressing
such issues as depression, suicide and anxiety.
Through both classroom sessions and one-on-one conversations, school counselors will direct students to the
SHIFTS website, where they can:
read about mental health issues that commonly manifest in adolescents
take interactive self-assessment "quizzes"
look through a "Frequently Asked Questions" section
and learn more about the mental health services available in their community.
The current SHIFTS website does not meet the goals and objectives of the project: it's difficult to enter the
site, it has an overwhelming amount of content, and is visually unappealing to the target audience.
