A consortium in New York is seeking a vendor to design, build, and launch a modern digital platform using WordPress or Drupal content management systems. The scope includes the complete website architecture and UI/UX design, requiring the development of site maps and wireframes that ensure a responsive, intuitive interface for both desktop and mobile users.

The selected consultant will handle content migration, including auditing current materials, transferring necessary data, and creating new multimedia assets. Technical build responsibilities encompass constructing a secure, scalable, and SEO-optimized website, with a strong focus on both functionality and compliance with SEO best practices. Rigorous quality assurance testing, including cross-browser compatibility, accessibility, and analytics integration, must be performed prior to launch.

Vendors are also responsible for providing a comprehensive digital launch plan, staff training for ongoing management of the CMS, and specifying robust hosting and security protocols (such as SSL or SOC2) to protect sensitive data. The strategic digital launch should feature elements like social media rollout, email templates, and a content plan to effectively announce the new brand and website.
