The Exhibition Program at the National Library of Medicine requires the services of a web design and production firm to design and produce an online exhibition, including online educational resources, using TeamSite template—Template A or Template B—and pages for a Digital Gallery that is delivered using a dynamic database such as ColdFusion. Preparing associated cropped and sized images or graphics required for the “Orange” site is included in the scope of this task.

For the purposes of pricing, please consider the exhibition section to include 50 items; the education section will include 10 PDFs and 10 MS Word documents; and the digital gallery will have 50 items, one “map” activity with 10 items, and one “carousel” activity with 5 items. The Vendor will develop the web designs using elements created by the exhibition designer (color palette, logo, graphic identity, and other graphic elements). Please identify any other assumptions that inform the Vendor’s costs in the business proposal.

Please see Attachment A for the style guide for Template A and Template B. Please view one of the following online exhibitions to see a comparable, completed project:
