Migration assumptions, exclusions, and validation steps will be confirmed before implementation. ## Evidence To Attach - migration checklist - CMS experience - redirect/QA checklist ## Gap / Risk Migration size and complexity are not yet defined. ## Owner Technical Lead ## Executive Summary Draft [Vendor Name] understands that [Buyer Name] is seeking a partner to redesign its website through discovery, UX, UI design, development, CMS setup, migration, training, and post-launch support. Our proposed approach is phased to reduce risk and create clear approval points: discovery, structure, design, build, migration, training, launch, and 60-day support. This approach ensures the redesign is not only visually improved, but also easier to manage, maintain, and hand over to the buyer’s team. Final pricing and timeline should be confirmed after clarification of CMS platform, migration volume, support expectations, and accessibility requirements. ## Proposed Solution / Approach ### Phase 1 — Discovery - stakeholder alignment - goals and success criteria - audience review - content and technical audit - project plan confirmation ### Phase 2 — UX Wireframes - page structure - key user flows - wireframe review - revisions ### Phase 3 — UI Design - visual direction - key page designs - design system basics - responsive considerations ### Phase 4 — Development and CMS Setup - frontend/backend implementation - CMS configuration - integration setup if required - responsive testing ### Phase 5 — Migration and QA - content migration - redirects if included - QA checks - launch readiness ### Phase 6 — Training and Support - CMS training - handoff documentation - 60-day support within agreed scope ## Risk and Gap Notes ## Risk Migration scope is undefined. ## Why It Matters Migration can significantly affect timeline and cost. ## Mitigation Request content inventory and define migration assumptions before final pricing. ## Owner Project Manager --- ## Risk 60-day support scope may be interpreted broadly. ## Why It Matters Support can become ongoing maintenance or new feature work. ## Mitigation Define included support categories, response times, and exclusions. ## Owner Account Manager ## Submission Checklist - [ ] Full RFP reviewed - [ ] Mandatory requirements identified - [ ] Compliance matrix completed - [ ] Clarification questions submitted - [ ] Executive summary reviewed - [ ] Methodology completed - [ ] Timeline drafted - [ ] Pricing assumptions completed - [ ] Support scope defined - [ ] Case studies attached - [ ] Required forms completed - [ ] Legal/compliance reviewed - [ ] Final file names match instructions - [ ] Deadline/timezone confirmed ## Recommended First Step Ask clarification questions about CMS platform, migration size, accessibility requirements, and support scope before final pricing.
