Call for tender for project website with microsite capabilities

Deadline: 10 January 2022, midnight CET

Purpose of the contract

Eurodad is looking for a qualified and skilled website developer to design and build a website that will support the fight for economic justice by civil society activists around the world collaborating on two global projects. The main site will be the public interface for a project focussed on improving financing for development, entitled, 'From commitments to actions: Increasing public accountability in the lead up to Monterrey+20', co-funded by the European Union. Also included will be a microsite for a second EU-funded project: 'Raising the voices of communities on the front-line in the fight against economic inequalities.'

The ideal developer will be available as soon as possible for implementation and launch, as well as for longer-term maintenance & support. (Please see timeframe below)
The developer will have an excellent understanding of web design for effective communication
The ideal developer will have experience building websites for non-profit organisations or networks.

Objectives & desired features

The website will be:
- An entry-point for those beginning to work on issues related to Financing for Development
- An online repository of resources and findings to support evidence-based advocacy in the project target countries.
- An accessible alternative to in-depth reports and printed materials
The website will host the findings from this project, including text, photos, GIFs and infographics, PDF files, and multimedia embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud etc).
Content on the main website will be available in English, French and Spanish. The microsite (see below) will need to be available in English and Bahasa Indonesia
It is imperative that the final website not be dependent on a high-speed Internet connection or PC for full functionality. The site should be fully accessible at lower-connection speeds or via mobile or a mobile-data hotspot in order to be globally accessible.
Content should be filterable via the use of tags, site navigation or an inbuilt search engine, so that users can quickly identify content which is relevant to their country/ region or language.
Well attuned SEO, so that the website is visible to third parties searching for relevant information. This will be important for the survival and usability of the website post-project close.
The final website should be fully accessible. This will mean using screen-reader compatible tags and structure as well as colour-blind friendly colours/ textures

The final website will also be used to host the findings and research from a second EC-funded project that aims to raise the voices of communities on the front-line in the fight against economic inequalities. A microsite will be created for this project, linked to the main site. We will work with the selected developer on how best to include this functionality.
