A Canadian organization in Ontario is soliciting proposals for website design, implementation, and hosting services through a content management system (CMS). The website must feature intuitive navigation, a seamless user experience, and prominently highlight library programming, services, and collections. It is essential that the platform meets federal and provincial accessibility requirements (AODA, WCAG 2.1 Level AA) and maintains robust security and privacy protections for staff and patrons.
The scope includes delivering a responsive design compatible with all device types and major browsers, as well as support for screen readers, keyboard navigation, dynamic widgets, interactive sitemaps, and advanced site-wide search functionality with typo-tolerance. Real-time API integration with various third-party tools (such as SirsiDynix Symphony, PatronPoint, Bibliocommons, ReachDeck, Google Analytics) must be provided. The project requires comprehensive user acceptance testing and successful Core Web Vitals scoring before launch. Administrative and staff logins must utilize secure, multi-factor authentication.
Best-fit vendors:
• Experienced in library or public sector website design and CMS implementation
• Proven ability to deliver accessible (AODA, WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant) and secure web solutions
• Expertise in API integration with library and analytics tools
• Strong track record in user-centered, responsive, and mobile-first design
• Based in or able to provide services to Ontario, Canada
