Website Redesign and Maintenance
The University is seeking a contract for the redesign and maintenance of its current website
(http://www.ncat.edu/~divofres/). The objective of the contract is to secure services for the redesign of the current website to create a more dynamic and more easily updatable presentation utilizing audio and video as well as text, photos and graphics; it also will include maintenance and support for changes and additions for new functionality, including the addition of new information and pages.
The website was custom designed and developed in 2006 using the latest website design and construction techniques. The back-end infrastructure uses a MySQL database server engine supporting all active content delivered through custom coded web pages. The entire site uses the PHP web development language to seamlessly integrate static and active (database driven) content. A comprehensive, custom web site administration tool was developed to allow staff (non-developers) the ability to update and maintain certain portions of the website,
including news articles and calendar entries. Proposals should contain an evaluation of the current website and recommendations on the benefits and drawbacks of its current technology versus any changes recommended.
