["m o r r y" <morry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Maia,

I just saw the post and I think this might be only the first or second
direct request we've had on the list. I'm very curious how it turns out.
Will you keep me posted?

On another note do you have any gauge on interest in DC for having a Web
Producers Organization gathering?

Thanks,

Morry

Subject: [webproducers] Request for Proposal


>
> The Sheridan Group, a small, progressive-issue lobbying firm in
Washington, DC is seeking proposals for the redesign of our website,
http://www.sheridangroupdc.com.
>
> Website Audience
> The main purpose for the Sheridan Group's website is to communicate with
potential clients and others seeking basic information about the Sheridan
Group and our services. Our audience is primarily members of non-profit
groups and employees of various government agencies with whom we have
business relationships.
>
> Scope
> The Sheridan Group website is primarily an online brochure, consisting of
approximately 10-20 pages. We are seeking a clean, elegant graphical
interface (commensurate with our offline image), improved navigation, better
search engine performance, and updated content. The site should be written
in clean, standards-compliant HTML that can be updated in the future by a
relatively non-technical user with a GUI-based editing tool such as
Dreamweaver. There will be little to no backend scripting required (possibly
a contact form). Up-to-date content will be provided to the vendor prior to
the project's inception.
>
> Restrictions
> The Sheridan Group is a small company with a small website, and a
correspondingly small budget. Please include in your proposal a line item
for stock photography and any other non-labor costs you anticipate so that
there will be no surprises down the road. Although respondents need not be
in the Washington, DC metro area, there is no budget for reimbursable
travel, so please be prepared to work with the logistical difficulties
associated with long-distance consulting.
>
> Please send all proposals to me at mgemmill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (not to
mgemmill@xxxxxxx), though you are welcome to address questions concerning
this request to me at mgemmill@xxxxxxxx The president of the Sheridan Group
(who is the main decision-maker on this project) has little knowledge of or
interest in techno-BS, so please keep it simple and straightforward. Be sure
to include examples of prior work from your portfolio (including an
explanation of your role on the project) as well as references from previous
clients.
>
> Please submit your proposal by email no later than 5pm on Wednesday,
October 2, 2002. If you cannot submit by email for any reason, please
contact me at mgemmill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for alternatives.
>
> NO PHONE CALLS! If you call me without prior arrangement, I will delete
any proposal you send me.
