DESCRIPTION

The organization seeks a vendor to provide website design, development, hosting, migration, and content management system implementation services. The project includes a visual refresh of a website comprising hundreds of public-facing pages containing primarily text and images, along with a limited amount of video content. The website also hosts a self-service web application supporting applicant and employer registrations, benefit requests, and tax collections.

The selected vendor will develop wireframe mockups for specified page types that comply with applicable branding and accessibility requirements. Designs must support combinations of text, photographs, tables, and graphics; meet state branding requirements; and define design tokens for colors, typography, spacing, border radius, and shadows. The vendor will obtain brand alignment approval from the project team and transition existing webpages into the wireframe design selected by organizational leadership.

The website must use a fully responsive, mobile-first design that adapts to viewport sizes ranging from approximately 320-pixel smartphones to desktop monitors of 1440 pixels and above. It must provide consistent functionality, readability, navigation, and accessibility across smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. Compatibility is required for current supported versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari on macOS and iOS, and Edge on Windows. Automated accessibility testing must be performed on all templates, with test reports documenting results, findings, and concerns, and all identified issues must be remediated.
