3.3 JA-SIG Web Redesign RFP
JA-SIG's websites have been growing for the past seven years with essentially the same information architecture they started out with. At this stage in our evolution as an organization, we have decided to redesign our sites with the following goals in mind:
Create a new information architecture and website re-design that make it much easier for users to understand what JA-SIG is and does, for JA-SIG website maintainers to add to and edit the site's content, for users to find the information they need, and for JA-SIG to present itself to the world. Scoped deliverables will also include the following:
- Enhancement of the JA-SIG brand and visual identity
- Design and development of new logos
- Adoption of new content management system that simplifies site maintenance
- Improved information architecture that will optimally organize existing content and provide for new content that will help achieve the goals of this project.
Following a recent open requirements process, we have drafted an RFP for this work, and we invite vendors to submit proposals prior to August 10th. The RFP, "JA-SIG Web Redesign RFP Final.pdf" may be found on the following JA-SIG wiki page: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=8716350
We will be asking for feedback on various design options during the summer. To participate in this process, subscribe to the

Thank you,
