DESCRIPTION

Travel Alberta seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive digital website services, including the design, development, maintenance, optimization, and ongoing evolution of agency websites and their broader digital ecosystem. The selected digital partner will be responsible for delivering forward-looking digital and technology leadership, with a focus on adapting to a rapidly changing, AI-driven landscape.

Responsibilities include offering digital strategy and thought leadership by conducting market analysis and peer benchmarking to identify opportunities for digital experience improvement. The vendor will anticipate technological shifts, changes in traveler behavior, and developments in search technology, translating these into actionable recommendations for the organization.

Website design and user experience (UX) tasks involve audience research, journey mapping, information architecture, and content strategy advisement, alongside UX/UI design, wireframing, prototyping, and full usability testing. The partner will develop a reusable, documented design system and a modular component library. Ongoing website maintenance and support are also required, covering CMS and plugin upgrades, hosting and infrastructure management (including CDN and campaign-driven traffic scaling), uptime assurance, and proactive performance enhancement. The vendor must provide both automated and manual quality assurance processes, including accessibility and cross-device testing before releases.

The contract period is one year, with a deadline for vendor questions set prior to the final submission date.
