A municipality in British Columbia is seeking a qualified vendor to undertake the redesign, development, hosting, updates, and migration of its website, leveraging a non-proprietary content management system (CMS). The primary objectives are to enhance the municipality's online presence, improve communication with residents, and promote transparency through streamlined access to information.

Key deliverables include a comprehensive project plan and timeline covering the discovery, design, development, content migration, and deployment phases. The selected vendor will provide design prototypes, wireframes, and mock-ups for stakeholder review. The redesigned website must feature user-friendly navigation menus accessible from every page, facilitate the creation of short URLs, and ensure webpages are printer-friendly and archivable.

Accessibility is a critical requirement; the site should allow changes to font sizes, support keyboard navigation, and be optimized for screen readers. The CMS must empower staff to manage content easily and independently while providing access to website analytics, site statistics, and marketing metrics to support ongoing evaluation and communication efforts.
