Request for Proposal (RFP) for Website Development
Project Overview:
We are seeking proposals for the design and development of a streamlined, sleek website centered around continuing educational lectures for dentists and dental technicians. The site will be built on the WordPress platform to leverage existing licenses and products already in use. The website should serve as a hub for promoting the instructor, and his content, including his published books, highlighting upcoming events, and providing a seamless user experience for event registration and information dissemination.
Scope of Work:
1. Platform and Technology:
• The website must be developed on WordPress, utilizing existing licenses for plugins and themes.
• The site should be designed with scalability in mind, starting small but allowing for easy content expansion as new lectures, events, courses, and videos are added.
• The site should integrate with PayPal, where applicable for product purchases.
2. Design and User Experience:
• The website should have a streamlined and sleek design that is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
• The design must be responsive, ensuring an optimal viewing experience on both mobile devices and full-size monitors.
3. Homepage:
• It should highlight the next few upcoming events, automatically pulled from the EventEspresso WordPress plugin.
• Include an area for sponsors, partnerships, and affiliate links/logos
• Include prominent calls to action (CTAs) for event registration and book sales.
• The homepage should feature an introduction to the doctor and link to his biography page, showcasing his credentials and experience.

4. Event Management:
• Integrate the EventEspresso plugin for event management and registration, ensuring a seamless back-end experience for data input (we will perform the data migration, only the installation and configuration of the plugin is required).
• Create a dedicated page for users to browse and register for upcoming events.
• Ensure that event details, including dates, times, and locations, are clearly displayed.
5. Instructor Profile:
• Develop a dedicated page outlining the instructor’s credentials, experience, and vast expertise. He pioneered the industry in New York State, this should be prominent throughout the profile.
• This page should include a detailed biography.
6. Course Overview:
• Develop an events overview page that pulls data from EventEsspresso and will provide an overview of the most popular courses, including descriptions, learning outcomes, and any prerequisites.
• Events should be displayed in date order, with the event(s) occurring the soonest at the top
• Include CTAs for users to express interest or register for these courses.
7. Contact Information:
• Include contact information in the footer of each page
8. Additional Requirements:
• The website must be able to stream videos of certain procedures. The videos can be posted elsewhere (I.e., YouTube) but must be streamed through this site. This is a fairly new requirement, and we are open to suggestions on where this may best be placed
• The website must be SEO-friendly, with proper meta tags, descriptions, and alt text for images.
• The site should be designed with accessibility in mind, following best practices for compliance.
• Provide basic training and documentation to the client for managing content on the site post-launch.
