[WEB4LIB] Web Page RFP/Specs

[Brian Cockburn]

While this is not an rfp source there is a good book that describes the
process and offers lots of advice for a firm contracting with a web
development company.  It is "customer effective web sites" by Jodie
Dalgleish.  In addition to the normal points of usability etc it offers
forms etc for project briefs, content contracts etc.  pretty good but you do
have to go through it and pull out the stuff you need.  I use it both in my
day and private work.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Web Page RFP/Specs

The web page for our public library needs redesigning and we may have to
write a request for proposal to obtain a firm to do the work.  Naturally we
would rather not re-invent the wheel, but so far we have been unable to
locate either an RFP for a web page or web page specifications.

If anyone has written either an RFP or specs that they would be willing to
share with us, or if anyone is aware of existing sites with this type of
information, we would be grateful for your help.  Ideas from either public
or academic sources would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help--
