My customer is a candidate in an upcoming local election. We would like to select a bidder with strong graphic design skills, but also the technical skills needed to develop a CMS-based site (ability to add, remove and edit pages).
The site will contain approximately 15-20 pages and must be designed in a manner that will be easy for us, as well as our customer, to maintain.
Among the specific needs are:
1) Photo gallery, with ability to designate up to 3 photos that will appear on the homepage.
2) News articles - we will want article abstracts to appear on the homepage with a "More" link to display the entire article.
3) Event calendar - displayed in list format, with the ability to display 2 or 3 upcoming events on the homepage.
4) Video capability - the candidate will want to upload videos from time to time with the newest one to appear on the homepage and the rest to archived.
5) Menu structire must allow for sub-pages as well as pages which are added to the site, but not displayed on the menu (these will be linked from other pages)
6) Forms for campaign volunteers to sign up, to subscribe to newsletters, and to contribute to the campaign (most likely using Paypal).
7) Integration with a blog that currently runs on [login to view URL]
We will require the selected bidder to provide three design concepts within 72 hours of their bid acceptance.
