DESCRIPTION

A vendor is sought to design, develop, host, migrate, and launch a professional education microsite serving as the central digital hub for Extension programs. The solution should be scalable, high-performing, and embody a modern design philosophy such as mobile-first, user-centered, and conversion-focused approaches.

Key considerations include the use of a CMS with modular templates for scalability, seamless integration with third-party systems including CRM and analytics platforms, and the incorporation of emerging technologies such as AI for search optimization, personalization, and automation. The microsite must be future-proofed for evolving SEO and generative search environments, with continuous improvements in user experience, performance, and conversion rates.

Vendors are expected to provide solutions for technical SEO including site structure, metadata, and indexing, as well as a content architecture optimized for AI-driven and generative searches. The contract period will span two years.
