Dear Caitlyn, Thank you for your questions! We have published this morning a FAQ at the end of the RFP; a number of your questions are covered. Please, see below. > On 27 Nov 2019, at 18:01 , Caitlyn Caldwell <caitlyn@nsideas.com> wrote: > > Ms. Mercier, > > Please review the following questions, submitted on behalf of Nesnadny + Schwartz in response to the W3C Website Redesign - RFP. > • Do you have a brand guide that is publically available? (The 2018 version appears to be under revision.) No. Not yet. Please, refer to the answer to question <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#branding> of the FAQ published today. > • Beyond membership, in what other ways do you hope people will participate with the W3C? Do you have metrics by which you plan to measure participation via the website Our website is for members, W3C group participants, and members of the public. We’d like to invite crowdfunding through the website. Please refer to the answer to question <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#sales> of our FAQ. > • Are there specific components of the redesign that you would like to see in anticipation of the W3C becoming a legal entity in 2021? The pages and types of pages we’d like to see redesigned as part of the phase 1 <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#phases>. > • Why was the 2014 redesign not fulfilled? The funding for this project had to be prioritized elsewhere. Today we plan to become an own legal entity in 2021 and that further motivates the redesign project. We have needed a redesign for many years and the upcoming relaunch as our own legal entity provides us with an anchor in time for when to have accomplished a visible (phase 1) redesign of our website. (I’ve now added this question to our FAQ <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#2014>) > • You mention collaboration with an oversight team, systems team, and design task force. How many people are a part of each of these units? Is each unit centralized to one of the four W3C institutions, or are they decentralized? Please, see answers <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#feedback>, <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#feedback2> and <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#decision> of our FAQ. > • To what extent might the winning firm expect to continue working with W3C after the launch of the site? (In other words, can you explain what your hopes for a long-lasting partnership with a web design agency might look like or entail?) We are interested in creating a long-lasting partnership with the vendor to continue to work with us as our needs and organization evolve (future phases, maintenance), and this may include some administration. See also related answer <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#inhouse>. > • If we find in the process of accepting and launching this project that we need to be a bit out-of-the-box creatively, how willing are you to do that? We are open to this. > • Can more information be supplied in regard to the individual W3C-maintained back-end services that require integration? > We look forward to your answers, and to submitting a complete proposal in December. I think our FAQ covers this in answers <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#backend> and <https://www.w3.org/2019/11/website-redesign-rfp.html#third-app>.
