Idaho State University is requesting proposals from vendors experienced and qualified to provide a Cloud based-Hosted Content Management System (CMS), revamped Information architecture with scalable taxonomy and a new and modern website design using current rendering technologies (like responsive design). While the University understands that no single design convention (responsive, fixed‐width or fluid) meets all business needs, the main goal is to impact conversion of inquiries and applications. The optimal convention should serve as many web clients as possible on the widest range of devices. The primary goal of this project is to replace the current website (www.isu.edu) with a new and improved website. The new website will be easier for users to navigate ‐‐ focused on key audience segments, more efficient for University staff to manage, and flexible enough to power multiple websites, branded portals, blogs and ‘pop‐up’ websites on‐demand. The Vendor will provide the University with an information ready, turnkey content management platform and responsive starter websites into which University staff can immediately begin to migrate information. The Vendor may also be asked to assist in the development of microsites that support the University’s academic areas of study. No additional specifications were given.
