Website Request for Proposal

Sacred Heart Chapel Catholic Church located at 4301 Pearl Avenue, Lorain, OH 44055  is now accepting bids for an entire website design (re-design) to replace our existing website.  The website name has already been registered and reserved under parish ownership.   Sacred Heart Chapel reserves the right to re-develop the current proposal and re-bid as needed.   Please reference previous design work (websites).

This current request encompasses:

Website design (quoted for complete website design)

Website hosting (quoted for an annual basis)

Any other misc costs & fees

Content management to be preformed by parish staff/volunteer

All communications regarding this project should be routed to:

Here is a small list of website links that we consider to be favorable to the new website that we would like built.   Please consider some of the features within these websites.

I have also reviewed some of the brainstorming notes from a session that conducted over a year ago regarding a future website design.  Our group thought that "Top Tabs" would be a good structure for the main website page.   However we are not against "Left Side Links" or a combination of "Left Side Links" or "Top Tabs".   Here is an example of a church that uses both styles:
