WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
The College is accepting proposals to design and develop a new college
web site.
The College currently has a web presence that is outdated in appearance,
structure, functionality and in the presentation of content. An opportunity exists to re-engineer the
site to better reflect the mission of Cowley and incorporate the latest web technologies. Upon
completion of the development of the site, Cowley will assume full responsibility for web site
content maintenance and administration. All content, coding and graphics will become the sole
property of Cowley College.
This will be a concept to completion project. The purpose of this RFP is to provide a
fair evaluation for all candidates, and to provide the candidates with the evaluation criteria
against which they will be judged.
The existing web site (see http://www.cowley.edu) was designed and produced in 2006
based on navigation and design specifications developed by Whispers, a marketing
consultant group. Minor modifications were made to a few key pages in 2010. The site is
hosted externally, with a mirrored “local site” on a Cowley server. Design and content are
maintained with in-house resources.
