The Park District is seeking the expertise and technical skills of a contractor to assist in the following ways: • Perform a needs assessment: Gather input from key stakeholders. Audit the existing website’s content, design and user experience, and technical health (i.e., speed, SEO). • Develop site architecture that improves the user experience. • Special attention is needed to easily communicate information to individuals with special needs, such as those with mobility and vision deficits who have specific questions related to accommodations. • The Park District’s current website contains more than 2,000 individual pages, many of which are outdated, duplicative, or no longer relevant. A preliminary content review suggests that at least 25% of these pages will be retired as part of the redesign. The new website must prioritize a streamlined, intuitive user experience, present accurate and current content, comply with applicable laws, and meet the needs of a diverse and multilingual audience.
