1. Tender specification

The DDS-MAP consortium is currently looking for a web design and development professional/agency/graphic designer to create the Project website as well as design the project's visual identity and logo. The website will be the main platform through which users will be able to access different activities, outputs, results, and information of the project.  The provider will also need to produce a coherent visual identity as well as a logo for the project.

The main framework of the website with static content with the designed visual identity should be up and running by April 2023

The website must be simple, informative, accessible and interactive. The website should include the possibility to add videos, infographics, e-learning platform integration and be made available in major EU languages. Other features might be requested at a later stage.  

Subject to discussion, the general outline of the website should be as such:  

Homepage  

The homepage will include the header containing the project’s logo and the site’s navigation menu. The menu will be divided in different section header:  

  • Home 

  • Learning platform 

  • Training modules

  • Communication 

  • Contact 

Each section should have interactive content with graphic visuals and simplified language that make it clear for site users to understand the core message. The contractor should follow the project corporate identity.   

The main page will also have a slider containing highlighted content that will guide users to different tabs. 

Body
