approval. The City can filter items by content type, review the changes, and approve <br />multiple items with this feature. <br />F. The Vision Process <br />The Vendor's process for the Project includes six stages. In each stage, there are formal <br />review and approval points to give the City full control of the Project and ensure the final <br />Website meets City expectations. The Vision Process is as follows: <br />1. Staize 1: Vision Staize. In the Vision Stage, the Vendor will work with the City to create <br />the vision for the Website now and for the future. The Vision Stage emphasizes the <br />objectives of the Website and how it supports the City's overall organizational goals. <br />This vision then guides each subsequent step of remaining process. To create this vision, <br />the Vendor will: <br />a) Prepare and review a survey document which will focus on goals and objectives. <br />b) Lead an onsite brainstorming and planning session where the City and Vendor will <br />discuss the City's current website, the results of surveys, the needs of users and staff, <br />and possible approaches for the future. <br />c) Review the City's existing website and those of other cities. <br />d) Study examples of other websites. <br />e) Review project goals and timeline. <br />f) Collect content and materials for the new website. <br />In this stage the City and the Vendor will define the vision for the Project, set goals, and <br />timeline to ensure the Project's success. In the event that the City would like members of <br />the public to be included in the onsite brainstorming and planning session, it is the City's <br />responsibility to include them. <br />2. State 2: Concept State. In the Concept Stage, the Vendor will assist the City to realize <br />the vision established in Stage 1 through: <br />a) The creation of the information architecture which supports easy access to <br />information. <br />b) Definition of the navigation strategy. <br />c) Review and recommendation of interactive components and features to ensure <br />streamlined navigation through special types of content. <br />d) Creation of a conceptual sitemap and categorization of pages. The navigation and <br />information architecture will take into account the City's current needs plus allow for <br />future expansion and growth. <br />e) Creation of a homepage layout wireframe that shows the placement of key <br />information and dynamic content. <br />36 <br />Web Redesign and Content Management System <br />
