DESCRIPTION


The State of South Dakota is seeking a vendor to provide a modern, agency-hosted website content management system (CMS) to replace existing legacy platforms that depend on hard-coded updates and lack the functionality needed to effectively support agency staff and public audiences. The new solution is intended to improve accessibility, usability, content management efficiency, integration capabilities, brand cohesion, and technical compliance across agency websites.

The selected vendor will deploy a unified CMS with user-friendly drag-and-drop editing, support for multiple editors with role-based administrative controls, and modern features such as calendars, data visualizations, and embedded feeds. The project also includes creating and sharing two to three mock website templates, including secondary page designs, and identifying additional creative enhancements and opportunities for the State during the development process.

Scope of work includes discovery and requirements confirmation, CMS setup and configuration, content migration and validation, feature integration for items such as payments, newsletters, microsites, analytics, and branding, as well as user acceptance testing, accessibility testing, and functional testing. The vendor will also provide training, documentation, go-live support, and assistance migrating content from current sites. Questions are due by July 31, 2026, and the contract term is expected to be one year.
