Project management
Kickoff, detailed implementation and rollout planning, biweekly reporting, milestone confirmations, pilot coordination, UAT, and a final closeout report.
The vision. The delivery plan.
The prototype demonstrates not only the public experience, but the governance, testing, training, support, security, and reporting structure required by LAAC's RFP.
From concept to stewardship
Complete RFP coverage
Every deliverable has an owner, an artifact, and a definition of done.
The final implementation plan would turn these commitments into LAAC-approved milestones, acceptance criteria, invoicing evidence, and grant-reporting confirmations.
Accessible website delivery
Responsive, cross-browser, scalable implementation with content migration, system configuration, data-security safeguards, and WCAG 2.2 AA as the target.
Testing with LAAC users
Volunteer testing, an identified pilot group, task-based success criteria, accessibility review, and documented UAT before launch.
Staff enablement
Virtual training, update workflows, role-aware administration, recorded sessions, and maintainable reference materials for future staff.
Twelve-month support
Defined response and resolution targets, bug fixes, security patches, functionality monitoring, and quarterly review meetings.
Search and stewardship
Content ownership, source and review dates, SEO and AI-search optimization, analytics, grant-ready deliverable records, and future-proof governance.
Evaluator view
Requirement by requirement. Proof beside promise.
This matrix separates what the interactive concept already demonstrates from what the contracted delivery process will document and govern.

GovernedProduction architecture
The website is the visible layer. The delivery system makes it dependable.
These workstreams turn the concept into an accessible, secure, maintainable LAAC platform rather than a one-time design handoff.
Migration and configuration
Inventory, normalize, map, migrate, redirect, validate, and assign an LAAC owner and review date to every production content type.
Compatibility and performance
Test current Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge plus representative iOS and Android devices, slow networks, zoom, and reduced-motion states.
Security and privacy
Threat-model authentication, roles, exports, uploads, logging, retention, incident response, and vendor access before production data enters the system.
Maintainable operations
Give LAAC a governed admin experience, documented configuration, reusable components, source records, release notes, and a non-developer update path.
Staff enablement
Train the people who will own the platform.
Training is role-specific, recorded, accessible, and tied to the real workflows LAAC must maintain after launch.
