DESCRIPTION
The city is seeking a qualified vendor to redesign, develop, implement, host, secure, and migrate content for a new municipal website. The project will include a modern, professional, and visually engaging design that reflects the community’s character and incorporates approved city branding, photography, graphics, and other visual elements.
The vendor will implement a secure, user-friendly content management system that does not require HTML or programming knowledge. The system should support staff roles, permissions, workflows, versioning, administrative controls, site-wide webpage and document search, and management of meetings, agendas, packets, minutes, and videos. The vendor will assess the existing website and its content, develop improved information architecture and navigation, and identify outdated, duplicate, unnecessary, or poorly organized materials.
The project will include migration of city-approved webpages, documents, forms, photographs, meeting records, archives, and other content while preserving important historical public records. The vendor will coordinate final migration, quality assurance, domain and DNS requirements, redirects, analytics, and launch activities. Ongoing services will include secure managed hosting, SSL/TLS, backups, monitoring, software updates, patching, vulnerability management, disaster recovery, technical support, maintenance, and approved integrations with existing city systems and third-party services.
