The town of Washington is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive website design, development, hosting, migration, and implementation services utilizing a content management system (CMS). The new website must support a structure organized into multiple departments, enabling town administration to add divisions as needed.

Key requirements include a mobile-friendly design that allows users to easily access and navigate content on various mobile devices. The website should feature an effective search function for key words or phrases and an event calendar system that enables each department to update and manage their events, including recurring appointments. Consistency in design across all department pages is essential, as well as compatibility with limited bandwidth situations to ensure broad public accessibility.

The selected vendor will manage the migration of the current site into the new system and implement an infrastructure that empowers town offices and departments to independently update their information within a unified framework. The solution should facilitate business transactions with the public and include hosting services for the town’s official website.
