Campus-Wide Web Design Services Using WordPress or Drupal CMS

The university is seeking a pool of qualified suppliers to provide campus-wide web design, user experience, and digital strategy services on an as-needed basis for various campus units. The institution needs to solve the challenge of managing diverse digital environments by establishing a roster of vendors capable of designing and developing within both WordPress and Drupal content management systems. Selected providers must demonstrate the ability to successfully deploy code across university-sanctioned hosting platforms, including Pantheon and WPEngine, utilizing central university accounts. The scope of work covers discovery and information architecture, which includes conducting stakeholder interviews, auditing legacy academic content or taxonomies, and mapping user journeys. The agency also requires mobile-first, high-fidelity user interface and user experience visual designs for core academic templates that strictly adhere to the university Visual Identity System. Additionally, the project encompasses custom theme and component development, accessibility certification, and technical deployment collaboration. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore, United States organizations. The agency requires all performance of the work to take place offsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
