City And Chamber Sites

 

The Website’s design is the foundation upon which the site is built, and includes the site’s overall look, feel, navigation, content, and flow. This is commonly referred to as the “vanity” part of the site and provides the basis to add E-Business, marketing and communications functionality. Internet Essentials (IE) will work closely with your City or Chamber of Commerce (CC) to develop the overall site look, feel, navigation, and layout from our templates. The following are site design considerations that will be made.

The sites have Navigation menus and graphics. ·

Color theme and logo will be based on CC existing Corporate ID.
· Sites are frameless to support better Search Engine registration.

· Scalable text and graphics

· Printing Compliant

· Compatible with Microsoft IE version 7.0 through current, Mozilla and Firefox versions 2.0 through current.

The initial website shall include the following;

A Main page and eight sub sections;

· Home (Link)

· Join (online form)

· E-mail (list of contacts and pop e-mail box)

· Latest News (newsletter format for content)

· About us (informational)

· Members Directory (searchable listings of CC members)

· Calendar (Lists of events in a calendar format)

· Community Links (common links to appropriate information)

CC will initially be provided with one mock up of home page, for further refinement. The final design will establish the graphical standards for the entire site. Additional graphic design and customization will be provided on a time and materials basis at IE’s standard rates.

Administrative System Functions

In order to provide a more time and cost efficient website over the long term, IE has created an administrative “back end” interface that would allow CC to make routine “day to day” changes. Thus allowing a more dynamic and useful website for the users, while cutting costs and waiting times for said changes and or additions to be implemented.

This Content Management System (CMS) Technology facilitates authoring, publishing and management of site contents.

The system has the following general publishing requirements:

Ease of use for non-technical CC personnel to introduce new content pages and formats or to update existing pages

· Minimizing learning impact on CC personnel in migrating to new tools.

· Protecting the security of the site.

· Ability to propagate changes across the site.
