Website Design and Development

The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is seeking a qualified web‑design and development firm to completely redesign, build, and host its public‑facing website. The effort is “concept to completion,” requiring a modern, accessible, responsive design, a flexible open‑source CMS, content migration, integration with third‑party tools, analytics, training, and up to three years of post‑launch hosting and support. The contract will be awarded in late October 2026, with a one‑year implementation phase followed by three years of maintenance. The total budget for the four‑year term is estimated between $100 K and $200 K. • Design a high‑end, brand‑consistent, WCAG 2.2 AA‑compliant website. • Implement a user‑friendly open‑source CMS (e.g., WordPress or Drupal) with role‑based permissions. • Migrate existing content, create searchable document libraries, and integrate maps, forms, social media, and analytics. • Provide training, documentation, and ongoing technical support. • Deliver hosting, security updates, backups, and optional extensions for years 2‑4.
