Specifications include, but are not limited to: Create a flexible, informative website that is easy to maintain. Develop a friendly site that can deliver large amounts of constantly changing information to our diverse audiences. In addition to designing a user-friendly site with an intuitive interface, we desire to develop a web-based, database-driven administration tool that allows the most responsible person to easily update content without directly accessing source code. Ann Arbor Public Schools will maintain ultimate editorial control of website content, without burdening the local schools or significantly delaying the publishing of new information on the site. Both the District as a whole and the individual schools will efficiently manage web- publishing processes, preferably by using a system with a browser-based user interface. Administration of web content will be based on roles to control access and workflow (e.g. author, reviewer/editor, publisher). To be effective, our website must be: ! Easy and intuitive ! Visually pleasing ! Informative ! Safe and secure ! Quick to load and operate
