Statement of Qualificationsfor the Website Redesign, Development and Hosting RFQ
Millennial Web Development designs, builds, hosts and maintains content-managed websites for public-sector, membership-based and mission-driven organizations. This Statement of Qualifications summarizes our firm, assigned team, relevant experience and approach to Lake Erie West's website redesign, development, hosting and support needs.
Firm Qualifications
Experienced website designers, developers and maintainers for content-managed organizations.
Chicago-based and working nationwide, Millennial Web Development builds custom, content-managed websites and maintains them long after launch. We are reviewed five stars across Google, Upwork, Codeable and Clutch, with clients including ShareASale, Maid Brigade, LabKey and BaseCap Analytics. Our experience aligns closely with Lake Erie West's stated needs: accessible content-managed websites, staff-editable page structures, document publishing, integrations, hosting, security and long-term support.
Assigned Project Team
A senior team directly accountable for delivery.
The people below are the principals who would work directly with the Council and account for the majority of hours on the project.
Approach to the RFQ Requirements
A requirements-led approach before design or development begins.
A detailed project plan and fee quotation would follow if Lake Erie West invites shortlisted firms to submit proposals. At this qualifications stage, our approach is concise and requirement-led.
We start by listening
Discovery with Council staff and the boards to map content, audiences, documents and the current systems before any design work begins.
A site your team runs
A custom, Council-owned site on a content management system staff can use to add pages, reorder menus and post documents, with roles for different boards and departments.
Integrations and Member Access
We have experience supporting member access, role-based permissions, document publishing workflows, calendars, newsletters and third-party platform integrations. For Lake Erie West, we would confirm requirements for Active Directory, SharePoint, membership systems and public document display during discovery.
Accessible, hosted and supported
Built to ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA and verified with testing. Hosting, backups, security and staff training are part of the work, with maintenance options after launch.
