The City of Tamarac Florida seeks a development partner to help design and build a new web presence. There are a number of primary issues that the City hope to address on this project. Below we will discuss each of these issues and then provide detailed background information regarding our processes and solutions. The current site is very hard to keep up to date -- Maintaining web site content is a huge challenge and not done properly can lead to high costs or ineffective out of date content. NovuSolutions builds all web sites on a foundation of code that allows for non technical people to create edit and publish web site content on their own. This code is referred to as NovusCMS. NovuSolutions' NovusCMS, or Content Management Solution, is an easy -to -use content management application for the Web. NovusCMS allows non -technical personnel to create and update documents on a Web site without programming knowledge. NovusCMS has a built in workflow that allows many users to create content and systematically submit that content for review and approval to higher authorities. The entire process from creation of content to publication of content can be managed without the support of technical personnel. Using NovusCMS the City can delegate the day to day management of content to the various departments. This will result in a lower workload at the centralized IT level and improved control over content at the department level. The current site does not emphasize each department — NovuSolutions will construct a solution that allows each department to have a subsite off the main City site. Not only will departments be able to mange content on the web pages but they will also be able to manage the subsite navigation for their department. NovusCMS allows certain authorized users to create subsite navigation. Using this solution, Department heads will have complete control over their web site structure. In addition to the main site navigation NovuSolutions will add a select your department button to all pages. This selection tool can be a drop down box that list departments or City functions. Users can click on this link and immediately navigate directly to the information they need. This type of navigation structure allows the City to build a web site that is rich with content but still easy to navigate. Using the Select your Department button, users can get to any page of specific information in three clicks or less. This navigation standard is a critical usability issue that must be maintained. The look and feel of the City site is critical -It is also critical to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the entire site. NovusCMS enables a central authority to control the look and feel of all subsites. By doing using this feature the City can maintain a consistent look and feel while empowering department level staff to create actual site content. Optional Flash Introduction - The City has mentioned that they may like to add a Flash introduction to their new site. NovuSolutions has experience with this type of development and can include it in this project if desired. This would be a virtual tour that Web Site Design 3 Nwun'tions City of Tamarac Florida would allow visitors to get a feel for the culture of Tamarac in a concise but attractive flash movie. For the purposes of clear understanding this feature has be priced separately. Please see www.plantation.org and click on "Virtual Tour" for an example of a flash solution similar to the one we have priced here. The City wishes to manage both an Intranet and Internet presence — NovusCMS can publish to multiple web sites. Users can update a page on the Internet and select an option to update the same page on the Intranet site. This reduces duplicate work and helps insure common information matches on both sites. Using NovusCMS to manage both sites will reduce work loads and provide ease of site management through a central web site management portal. If the City chooses to have the Intranet site carry unique information compared to the Internet site that can be accommodated as well. NovusCMS will allow for multiple site management as one option or the maintenance of exact duplicate sites as another option. Either option is available within the pricing guidelines quoted. The same look and feel should be used for both sites to help reinforce the image of the City both Internally and externally. NovusCMS is an open source code solution. This means there are no license fees associated with the solution. Deploying a version to run the Internet and Intranet does not increase costs. One fee covers both deployments. In addition there are no client license fees for users to update content. NovusCMS is a web -based solution. The only client side software required is a current browser. The City wants to have Job openings online — NovuSolutions has an existing code base designed to support online job postings. Each department can be empowered to post a job. Optional Workflow can be added to insure HR or other central authorities, approve job postings prior to publication. Once jobs are posted visitors can view jobs by type or category. In addition, Users can upload their resume to this site. The solution tracks resumes and allows City Staff the option to search for candidates by skill set. Finally the public can sign up to be notified of job openings that meet their criteria. Once a job is posted an a mail is sent to notify the public user that a job matching their needs is now posted. City Staff can use the same option to watch for resumes with certain criteria. The City would like a workflow solution to manage Agendas/Resolutions — City Agendas are an accumulation of various documents and they become quite large in size. A solution is already in place that allows the City to convert documents into images. It is our understanding that the City is looking to move these images through an approval process in a systematic manner. NovuSolutions has expertise in the area of workflow management and document tracking which is the foundation of our NovusCMS solution. Our plan would be to construct a solution that tracked this information and allowed it to be viewed via browser. Users could upload documents through a browser interface and like NovusCMS all actions will be tracked by user. Each document can maintain a full history of which users viewed it, when they did and if it was approved or rejected. If Users upload documents to add to the Agenda that information would be tracked as well. Users could route work to other departments and a mail notification can be used to keep users informed when Web Site Design 4 Novu ol� utions City of Tamarac Florida there is work to do. The a mail notification will keep the work moving through the system and avoid delays. This solution will be a custom built database with a web based interface for users to complete all tasks without client side software, other than a current browser. The City is interested in expanding and adding features in later phases — All code developed by NovuSolutions will use standard coding practices and be open source in nature. Our primary coding foundation focuses on Microsoft SQL 2000, Microsoft ASP and runs well on Microsoft Windows 2000 or NT. Because we use all open source code, including the code for NovusCMS, the City can add features and function easily at a later date. Another important feature is that the City will not be dependant upon NovuSolutions for new features. While it would be our goal to become a preferred partner for the City we realize the importance of independence to an organization like the City of Tamarac. Web Site Design 5 Novu1olns City of Tamarac Florida NovusCMS — A solution you can manage NovuSolutions' NovusCMS, or Content Management System, is an easy -to -use content management application for the Web. NovusCMS allows non -technical personnel to create and update documents on a Web site without programming knowledge. NovusCMS has a built in workflow that allows many users to create content and systematically submit that content for review and approval to higher authorities. The ,entire process from creation of content to publication of content can be managed without the support of technical personnel. The following chart illustrates a sample of how NovuSolutions' NovusCMS solution will manage the workflow for content creation, editing and publication. This is just an example of a simplified workflow chart. The actual workflow will be customized to meet the organization's needs in the Statement of Work in the first phase. Technical Staff can manage changes in workflow on an ongoing basis with or without support from NovuSolutions. Clients define the roles and responsibilities of IS and responsibilities will be defined and deployed by NovuSolutions during the customization process of NovusCMS. All users of the NovusCMS solution will require only a web browser, IE 5.0 for example, on the client to access the NovusCMS solution. As documented on the Flowchart following, the "Content Publisher" has the ability to publish content to the site. This function allows NovusCMS to become the centralized management tool for all Web Based solutions. This process is completely scalable. NovuSolutions can implement the NovusCMS solution for one department and scale up the deployment as needed. Scaling the project up will require minimal modification to foundational programming provided by the initial NovusCMS solution. In other words, the cost of scaling this solution from a few too many thousands is minimal and is not affected by client or server license fees. There are no client or server license fees in the NovusCMS solution model.

Content authors create content for the Web in a built-in word processing environment in the Content Approval database. Once a document has been approved for the Web, it is pushed to the Content database. Documents in the Content database are available to the World Wide Web. The approval process allows you to assign a Publisher to manage the actual publication process. Several employees can be assigned to this role as needed. Multiple content authors can generate content, and submit it for publication approval. When a Publisher approves the content, the document is automatically published to the Web with the click of a button. Document categories control navigation. Preloaded, professionally designed navigation wrap around documents so that content authors never have to worry about design considerations, or any of the things that go with it, like HTML, graphics, Javascript, etc. Content authors choose a category for a document such as "Services", and the "Services" navigation will automatically wrap around the document on the Web. Web Site Design 8 NavusaMutions City of Tamarac Florida Design elements While NovusCMS provides an easy to use interface for non -technical content creators, flexibility is also available to technical personnel who wish to modify the design of the site. Web designers can use NovusCMS to control the design of the site by creating or editing the html design elements that wrap around the Web content created by non -technical personnel. The following example illustrates the design change process: Marketing manager requests a change to the left navigator for a marketing site category Web designer opens design element where HTML code is stored for the navigator Designer edits design element document per marketing manager's request. Feature Details for NovusCMS Site publisher approves new design and publishes the design element document. Designer saves changes, sends document for approval. Below is a brief covering the functional details of NovusCMS. These details are the standard features of NovusCMS. NovusCMS is standard open source code that can be easily customized to meet unique client needs. If there are features the City desires not covered here it is very likely that those features can be added without extensive development. In the interest of space we have not included a list of templates. We currently have over 25 page layout templates in stock and more can be created for the City if required as part of this project. 1.1.0 Overview for Department Functions This code is browser independent and client side OS independent. This is a stand alone module that allows users to create edit and in some cases publish web site content. By stand alone we are referring to a solution that has an administrative interface to create users and view and approve their work, plus the ability for users to perform the functions listed below. The idea here is that this module can be deployed to a company that has an existing web site and simply wants to create a link to a "select your Department " Web Site Design 9 Now olutions City of Tamarac Florida page. From the select your Department page browsers would view content created from this module. This solution could also be used as a stand alone option for online proposals. This module does not need to have the ability for a webmaster to manage a company web site. That module can be added. Users will log into the system to create, edit and in some cases publish pages to their web site. The log in will be derived from a table within CMS that holds users and their characteristics or it will be derived from a defined LDAP table assigned by the system administrator. User functions: • Open an existing page and edit it • Create site navigation • Assign navigation points to pages on their site • Upload images to a private library. Access images from a public library. • Add/edit text • Add Hyperlinks and define where those links go • Chose body content layout from a menu • Optional, Create a page using pure HTML from an outside source (on the create a user interface an option appears to "Allow HTML creation". When this is selected that user will have an additional button on their CMS interface that allows for the uploading of HTML created in another source or written in the CMS interface for HTML. Navigation will be controlled by a header, left navigation bar, optional footer and optional right navigation bar. The header, optional footer and optional right navigation bar can only be edited using HTML skills. The left navigation can be edited using CMS described below. 1.1.2 Terms Term Definition User A user who manages their web site Navigation Site navigation on the left navigation bar that can be edited and modified by a user. Image A file that will reside in a private or public library for a user. Files types will be defined by Administrators Hyperlink A text or graphic link that links to a URL defined by the user Body Content Web page content inside the body area of the page. This is not Headers, Footers or navi ation bars. Web Site Design 10 Novus�l� uut ns City of Tamarac Florida 1.1.3 Users User Rights Enter rise wide users Full access to their site and -library only 1.1.4 Functions Function Description Open an existing page and edit it Edit the body content only including ima es on the page. Create site navigation Create site navigation is one interface that populate the navigation area of every page. Assign navigation points to pages on their When creating navigation assign the link to site page in the web site. This navigation o ulates the left navigation bar. Upload images to a private library Easy upload of any allowed image. Administrators allow image types and sizes Access images from a public library Admins can upload images to a public or shared libra . Add/edit text Ability to add or edit text on any page Add Hyperlinks and define where those Name a hyperlink and enter the URL to links go which that link points. Hyperlink sections should be in the layout options. Some la outs will have hyperlinks some will not. Chose body content layout from a menu Layout options will define the body content layout. Optional, Create a page using pure HTML For advanced users, allow them to paste in from an outside source HTML and publish the page. This will overwrite the layouts and style sheets. This option would be given to specific users by the Admin. O tional Publish a page Details 1.2.1 Open an existing page and edit it Users can open an existing page and make edits to it. They can save their work as a draft or send it on for approval or publish with the correct authority. They can also change templates. 1.2.2 Create site navigation Each user will customize site navigation on the left navigation bar. The system Admin will define a fixed number of pages to be created automatically when a Department is Web Site Design 11 Novusolutions City of Tamarac Florida created. From there users will be able to build their own navigation through a special interface. The navigation links will be defined for the web site in a navigation interface. The interface for this process should be easy to follow. Step one - Name the first page for your site. This is often called "your name Home Page" Step two — Name the second page for your site Step three — Name the third page of your site. These name blocks have a predefined character limit of 20 characters. When a User exceeds 20 characters a warning pops up asking them to keep their page names limited to 20 characters. This limit will allow population of the left navigation bar with these names. The names selected by the user will become the navigation points that show up on their web site. The navigation points will populate a standard Left navigation bar with Text links that link to the pages they are tied to. The one interface will create the navigation bar for the entire Department web site. Users will create links once and then simply populate content for each page on their site. An example of how this works is diagramed below: Web Site Design 12 Novusol s City of Tamarac Florida 1.2.4 Upload images to a private library The user can populate a library of images. Admin will control the type and size limits on images. From any page that has pictures in the layout the user will be able to open a photo library and either select one of the existing images or upload a new one. Users will access their own private library or a public shared library from the photo page. Public 4ibraries can only be populated by Admins. 1.2.4.1 Access Images from a Shared or Public Library The admin will be able to upload images to a public or shared library. The shared library is available via a link that is on the Private library page. Users will click on a picture box in a template. This will open access to their Private library. The Private library page will give them a link to the shared or public library. This solution is coded to allow easy customization of the name for this link. 1.2.5 Add/edit text Users can add text in Text boxes. Text boxes are defined in the layout. When the editor is open a preview button it is available so they can view their work without closing one window and clicking on another button. When the preview window is open a close preview button is displayed. 1.2.6 Add Hyperlinks and define where those links go Many layouts will include hyperlinks. These pages will allow users to type in a URL in one box and then type in a brief description of that URL in an adjacent text box. The text boxes on these templates should be limited in characters so proper spacing is maintained. An example of this concept is below: Web Site Design 13 Navus�olutions City of Tamarac Florida Enter the URL here Enter the URL here Enter the URL here Enter the URL here Enter the URL here F.,.rbrief description here. Lime Is 100.haracers F,-,rbrief description here. Lime Is 100 Characters Enter a brief description here, lime is 100 Charactors ^v I Enter a brief description here. Limit is 100 Charactors Ender A brief description here. Limit Is 100 Characters 1.2.7 Chose body content layout from a menu A menu of layouts will pop up in a separate window when the user selects the button titled Page Layout. This group of templates will include templates described below. Layouts for pages are displayed in a large area of the screen with a lot of detail on what the layouts represent. Some layouts may have titles on them like "Home Page" "More pictures", "Calendar Page" etc. These titles are easy to customize for any deployment. 1.2.8 Optional, Create a page using pure HTML from an outside source In the user creation interface available to the Admin there will be a two check boxes. One box will allow users to publish directly without approval and the other will enable a HTML button on their menu bar that allows them to paste in HTML code for body content. 1.2.9 Lookup Department/Services page This module will have a web page that uses a drop down menu to allow users to select a Department from the list. A Department is a Sitelit that is a group pf pages sharing a common left navigation bar. This menu will populate from Departments that have Web Site Design 14 NOVU olutions City of Tamarac Florida published home pages. If a Department does not have a published home page they will not be on the list. This page will be contained in this module and will have code within it that allows for list population. We will customize this page with a look and feel that compliments the existing Company site we are linked to. In addition, an interface will be sued for the City to create drop down lists of services. NovuSolutions has experience building web site for Cities and we have learned that Citizens do not always associate a service with the correct department. In the City of Manchester NH for example, information regarding Automobile registration can be obtained from the Tax Collector office. The drop of list of Service for this City has Automobile registration listed as a City service and that link goes to the Tax Collector page covering that topic. Using these drop down list make navigation of the site easy for the public. In addition, detailed information is never more than three clicks away. The three click standard is critical to keep top of mind during site navigation design. 1.3.0 Administration for Module One This module will be a self-contained module so an admin piece exists to allow certain functions. The admin interface will be deployed with one user, created by NovuSolutions and a password for that user. That user can then create other Admins and new users: Specific functions are: • Create other Admins • Create new users • Create new Sitelits • Set the number of pages for the sitelit (the first sitelit may have 5 pages, the second sitelit may have 9 pages and the admin can enter a number when creating a sitelit. The word sitelit will usually be customized to something like "Create a new Department web site" • Password protect a sitelit to limit the public from viewing the sitelet contents. • Using a CSS editor, modify the text and caption and other characteristics of the Sitelits. • Allow users to publish without approval • Allow users to input HTML • View all content • Publish content + Unpublish content • Reject content that has been submitted • Assign page level access to users. Page four of Sitelit three is accessed by Jim Peters. Sue Jones can access all pages in the Sitelit. Page level authority for each Sitelit will help Admins manage and restrict access to the areas they want users to focus on. This allows Department heads to assign specific pages to a user to update. Web Site Design 15 Novueolutiona City of Tamarac Florida 1.3.1 Terms Term Definition User A user who manages their web site or a a e within a Sitelit. Admin Can perform the functions listed under 1.3.0 CSS editor An interface that allows an Admin to modify the style of all web pages globally. 1.3.2 Details Admins will log in and perform the functions listed above. 1.4.0 Layouts Specific page layouts have been omitted in the interest of space. NovuSolutions is happy to provide details on existing page layouts upon request and can develop new page layouts easily as part of a standard deployment. Web Site Design 16 Navur, s City of Tamarac Florida Module 2.0.0 NovusCMS Administrative 2.1.0 Overview for CMS Administrative Functions This code is browser independent and client side OS independent. This will be a module that is added on to Module One for Users. This module would be deployed to a City web site that desires to control a City site and the ability to create sitelits. This module will support all the functions listed in Module One for Departments plus the ability to manage a City Main site using the same functions the Departments have. In addition this module will include the ability to password protect a Sitelit when it is created. The ability to password protect Sitelits upon creation will be used when the City creates Sitelits requiring controlled access. Password protection will enable them to control access to proposal information. Admins will log into the system to create, edit and in some cases publish pages to their web site. In addition they can do all functions for Admins listed in Module One. The log in will be derived from a table within CMS that holds users and their characteristics or it will be derived from a defined LDAP table assigned by the system administrator. Admin functions for their web site: • Create other Admins • Create new users • Create new Sitelits • Set the number of pages for the Sitelit (the first Sitelit may have 5 pages, the second Sitelit may have 9 pages and the admin can enter a number when creating a Sitelit. The word Sitelit will usually be customized to something like "Create a new Department web site" • Password protect a Sitelit to limit the public from viewing the Sitelet contents. • Using a CSS editor, modify the text and caption and other characteristics of the Sitelits. • Allow users to publish without approval • Allow users to input HTML • View all content • Publish content • Unpublish content • Reject content that has been submitted • Create site navigation • Assign navigation points to pages on their site • Upload images to a private or public library • Add Hyperlinks and define where those links go • Chose body content layout from a menu • Change the Header and navigation bars for their site and the Sitelits created by Local Users. 2.1.2 Terms Web Site Design 17 Novur u_ti1ions City of Tamarac Florida Term Definition Admin A user who manages their web site and can perform admin functions listed in module one.

Create, edit and delete users Admins can set up Departments with users that can build their own web sites. Create Sitelits Admins can create a Sitelit. When they do they can assign users to that Sitelit from the existing user base. They can define the number of pages that Sitelit will have and they can assign individual users access to specific pages within the Sitelit. Password protect a Sitelit Password protection controls who can view the information within this Sitelit. Allow Users to publish without approval Some users will desire to publish content without approval from the Admin. This authority can be granted and removed on a user by user basis. Users can also be granted the right to use HTML code to build a paqe. View, edit, publish, reject and unpublish all Admins have full control over all site and content. Sitelit content. Assign page level access to users In some cases Admins may want to restrict certain users to only one page on a site or Sitelit. The UI for users will allow this function.

Building headers, footers and right navigation bars is a developer level task. Applying them to the site is not. 2.2.0 Details 2.2.1 Create other Admins Admins can Share their authority with other Admins. 2.2.2 Create, edit and delete Users Admins have full control over users and the access each user has. The UI for Users will allow the Admin to assign access to task outlined in Module One to Users. 2.2.4 Create Sitelits Admins can create Sitelits. Creating a Sitelit will involve naming the Sitelit. The naming will become part of the URL. The UI will demonstrate how the URL will look for each Sitelit. In addition, Admins can assign the number of pages that Sitelit will have. Admins can assign users access to that Sitelit. Do they have full access or limited access. Limited access restricts their access to specific pages only. Admins can set a Sitelit to be password protected so the public must use a password to access the data on the Sitelit. This will be useful for online proposals. When a Sitelit is created the Admin will select a header and navigation bar for the Sitelit. The selection of a left navigation bar will be for look and feel only. The sitelit owner (Department user or equal) will determine the navigation names/links for each navigation bar. Headers are not edited without HTML skills. 2.2.5 Allow Users to publish without approval Some Users will need the ability to publish pages in their area of control without approval from the Admin. Admins can set this authority on the User level. 2.2.6 View, edit, publish, reject and unpublish content Admins have full control over all content. Even if content is published by an empowered User, Admins will be able to effect the content at will. 2.2.7 Create site navigation Each Admin will customize site navigation within the categories on the main site. The system Admin will have a defined number of categories when the site is delivered. Each category will have a defined number of pages on delivery. Each category will not exceed 9 pages. Admins will be able to build their own left navigation for each category through Web Site Design 20 Novusollu! ns City of Tamarac Florida a special interface. The navigation links will be defined for the web site in a navigation interface. The interface for this process should be easy to follow. The site will have a home page that can be edited by the Admin. The home page will have a header, optional right navigation bar and optional footer that has fixed navigation and a left navigation bar that has flexible navigation. These navigation points will go to category home pages that can be edited using templates. Each category will have 9 additional pages. Admins can create the left navigation for each category using the game navigation creation tool used by Departments. Step one - Name the first page for your category. Step two — Name the second page for your category Step three — Name the third page of your category. These name blocks will have a predefined character limit of 20 characters. When a Admin exceeds 20 characters a warning pops up asking them to keep their page names limited to 20 characters. This limit will allow population of the left navigation bar with these names. The names selected by the Admin will become the navigation points that show up on their web site. The navigation points should populate a standard Main Left navigation bar with Text links that link to the pages they are tied to. This will allow the admin to have a unique left navigation for each category. The one interface will create the navigation bar for the entire Category. Admins will create links once and then simply populate content for each page on in their category. 2.2.8 Upload Images to a private/public library The Admins will be able to populate a library of images. Admin will control the type and size limits on images. From any page that has pictures in the layout the Admin will be able to open a photo library and either select one of the existing images or upload a new one. Admins will upload images to two locations. One will be a library of images available for the site they manage. The other will be a public or shared library that the department users have access to. 2.2.9 Add hyperlinks to pages Several Layout templates in all deployments use hyperlinks on the page. These pages will allow Admins to type in a URL in one box and then type in a brief description of that URL in an adjacent text box. The text box on these templates should be limited in characters so proper spacing is maintained. 2.2.9.1 Choose body content layouts See Module One for a description of this function. 2.3.0 Change Header and Navigation bars Web Site Design 21 Novusoluutinns City of Tamarac Florida Admins will be able to swap one header, footer, optional right navigation bar or left navigation bar for another to quickly apply a new look and feel to their site. This can be done on the main site or on any Sitelit. Jobs Online The current templates for a Jobs database offered by NovuSolutions offer base line functionality that can be modified and customized to meet the needs of Tamarac. Our cost proposal includes a reasonable level of customization and the details are discussed in the cost proposal. The scope of this needs to be defined within the costs quoted. The following samples outline the basic functions available in the job template. Not all functions are displayed here and there is obviously no look and feel applied to some screen shots. The presentation of this information is intended to demonstrate expertise in the area of interest expressed by the City; not finished code. All forms and the presentation of data would be customized to meet City needs. In addition to resume posting an electronic version of the standard employment application can be added to this solution. Users could go in and post their resume in addition to filling out an application or they could simply fill out the application. NovuSolutions took the following screen shots from a Jobs Online program built for the Broward County Sheriff. These are samples of the type of solution that can be developed for the City.

Web Site Design 32 Novuf 1%, w, 11oS City of Tamarac Florida Development Process Part One- Strategy Part 1 requires the development of a web site strategy. Key features that must be considered in this strategy are, Web site Content Management, Site growth, and the addition of new technology in later phases. NovuSolutions will assess the information distribution needs and carefully analyze the priorities. The key thought here is to maximize the return on investment. A long term plan may have many functions going web based but short term only those that offer the "Biggest Bang for the Buck" should be deployed. NovuSolutions' business is founded on the principle that web technology purchases must be considered like any other purchase. Does the value outweigh the cost? Is the ROI in line with expectations? Developing web solutions for the sake of having web solutions is no longer an acceptable practice and NovuSolutions has never practiced any theory other than a focus on ROL Our approach will be to develop a plan that explains the short term and long term goals. In addition, the technology used in the short term must be able to expand to meet long- term needs without having to revisit areas already developed. NovuSolutions will use non-proprietary technology with all open source code that will allow the flexibility to move forward short term without sacrificing the long-term needs. Sample factors to consider are: • The primary theme or message the site must communicate. While this may change over time it is important that the theme be consistent throughout the site. The ability to alter this theme as time passes will be enabled with the Content Management Solution presented by NovuSolutions called NovusCMS. • Key Data design factors must be considered. How is data stored and retrieved. What database structure makes the most sense? What Database should be used? NovuSolutions will review current database software and use what is already in place to minimize costs associated with the acquisition of new software. • Key usability standards must be defined. Who is the audience for this site and what special needs must be considered in the site design. Professional people often approach a web site with different expectations that those who surf the web from home. These may the same people but their behavior and expectations can change depending on the environment they are in at the time. These issues must be defined upfront to insure a successful site. • Hosting options both short and long term. What is the best hosting strategy to use for the web site? This will involve an analysis of current IT infrastructure and Web Site Design 33 Novusolutions City of Tamarac Florida how well it can support internal hosting verses the cost of outsourced hosting. How critical is up time? What are the backup and restoration needs for the site? The best value will be presented in this section. Part 2 Development and Results Design and usability standards must be set up in Park 2 prior to development. Below is a discussion of the details that will be presented in Part 2 relative to the site design standards and layout. NovuSolutions has extensive experience in web site design. When creating the interface for a web presence, NovuSolutions will emphasize the user centered design standards needed for a successful site. This will ensure a user centric site that will be easy to use. The following thought process is utilized when consulting with any client: Conceptualize interface design and architecture of web site based on usability principles and cognitive analysis of user experience throughout the site, with the strategic direction and vision. Develop and execute user interface of the entire web site working closely together with the NovuSolutions' web interface developer, Business Strategist Team, and Project Manager. Lead and develop use ability test for beta version of site with a representative cross- section of potential users as participants. Design and develop a registered logo, based on its user -centered strategy and main target markets. Apply "Warning" page while viewer is exiting Your site, based on usability principles. Following this Design Methodology, NovuSolutions will ensure the highest level of professionalism, credibility, and universal applicability to all targeted audiences. NovuSolutions design approach also will ensure warm and friendly, fun, and fast -loading aspects of a successful site design. Universal Features & Applications NovuSolutions' Website Design Methodology The front-end interface is one of the most important aspects of any successful user driven web site. Below is the process NovuSolutions engages in during development. Create categorized structure of Website content. Based on this categorization, design web site information architecture. This determines roughly the amount of content per page and the total of pages in the site, and will be the basis for the site map. Web Site Design w 34 Navusolut ons City of Tamarac Florida Design and develop user navigation throughout site, based on the information architecture. Design original navigational and functional assistants such graphics, icons, and buttons that will convey the identity of the web site product. Design and develop upon approval of client, basic page layout and content location for each page type. Design and implement, upon approval of client, a browser -safe color scheme for entire Website, based on the product identity, to clearly convey consistency throughout the site. An example of an economic web page layout skin that NovuSolutions has created for a City is listed below: Tba Gry PIr4"W hG 11y M M<wPtqe.

NovuSolutions will make recommendations if Web Site Design --.. -- 35 -- Nwusol� ut ns City of Tamarac Florida appropriate and outline in the Statement of Work the Standards for which the project will be developed. Below are charts showing examples of how this may look: E ' pl' UsabilityDeiiph"'St andard qVuSb lUtions `4 9114N The site will be optimized for 800 X 600 pixel resolution. This will allow users with both an 800 X 600 screen resolution to optimally view the site as well as maximize website usability___ Graphics will be in a compressed format, to maximize upload for any line speed connection. Navigation points will change appearance when they have been activated The content of each page will dynamically resize to different window sizes on the users screen. This feature will insure users do not have to scroll horizontally to view text. All forms will allow movement through the form using the tab key or a mouse click in the form area. All data fields used in forms will use server side form validation. This will insure users fill out forms properly. All design elements can be coded into the ASP script including page background color. Site will be designed for optimal viewing in IE and Netscape versions 4.X and later.

To ensure easy and cost effective additions to the foundation of the site, specific home page and sub -page design standards need to be documented so any web designer can develop additional pages and functionality easily and efficiently while maintaining the consistency of the site. NovuSolutions proprietary blue print approach is outlined below. The following examples start with a Functional Site Map to ensure the site follows the usability principals that were originally used in the blueprint document and statement of work that meets the needs of the client. Next the Navigational Site Map will outline the navigation of each section to ensure the cognitive usability methodology will always apply when adding new categories. The next document phase is the Page Types and Labels. This will be color -coded and list each of the functions and content applied to each category of the site. Following will be a Layout Grid color coded to match the Page Types and Labels. This will ensure all details of the layout of every category of the site is blueprinted and easily duplicated when adding functionality or pages.

It is the latest push for a city that for two years has aggressive- ly pursued new businesses by of- fering economic incentives for the first time and launching mar- ketingcampuigns to visitors. The focuawe have chosen is economic development," Mayor Rae Carole Armstrong said of the Web site, which she and other Plantation officials explained at a meeting this week.

After going to the city's home site, viewers would click on the economic development category and look under real estate list- ings: if there are properties under the category, the site will list the address, square footage, a brief description and a phone contact.

We are currently under an annual contract as their primary web development partner. Below is one of many applications we have built for BSO. The Broward County Sheriff's Office (BSO) wishes to use NovuSolutions for a quick turnaround time in the creation of a web -enabled interface to query their existing data. The primary objective of this project is the delivery of a web interface that can display the crimes across the county within a timeframe specified by the user that can also be compared at the same time against statistics for another timeframe specified by the user. The users will also have the capability of viewing the crime data for a specified time period without comparing it against a second timeframe. The web interface will allow the user audience to "drill down" in the data from a countywide view of data to a view of data for a selected district, and from a district view of the data to a view of data for a selected zone. The target audience for this web interface is various BSO personnel, ranging from sergeants to the Sheriff. All of the users will be accessing the application through BSO's internal WAN using a browser. The application will be completely web browser base to avoid the need of client side software. This is the first of multiple projects engaging NovuSolutions on a 2001 Budget Retainer. �,,i..,, . .
