Cover Letter
Our team at w.illi.am/ would like to thank you for this opportunity to present Concordia University with our proposal for the Concordia.ca and C-space
responsive project. We had the pleasure of collaborating with you recently following the launch of Concordia.ca, which enabled us to work closely
alongside your Web Communications and Instructional and Information Technology Services (IITS) teams, and we would be honored to do so again.
Our previous consulting mandate for Concordia University was a valuable learning experience on a number of different levels. In particular, it enabled us
to acquire a strong understanding of your organization’s strategy and stakeholders. Not only did we collaborate closely with your internal teams, but we
also worked with multiple stakeholders including faculty members, departmental resources, students and staff. Through our collaboration, we discovered
and embraced your mantra of innovation, excellence and passion, which is very much aligned with our core values.
The website’s redesign into responsive is also in line with our company’s mission, which is to create useful, business-enhancing, digital products with a
human-centered approach. Our vision is a tool that is intuitive and effective, and one that reflects the needs of the user while providing a seamless
experience on different devices. Just as important, platform improvements in the form of workflows, reports and a staging environment will benefit your
content creation team, which will serve to improve the platform efficiency and help reach your communication objectives.
Concordia students, parents, faculty, alumni and employees will surely benefit from the improved accessibility of the site up to par with digital best
practices. It also places Concordia on the right path to start building an enhanced experience around the complete university experience. We believe that
together we can achieve great things. We propose to start exploring such a future with a partnership for developing this vision with a workshop, on us.
Built on common values of excellence, innovation and human focus, we strongly believe that our partnership would evolve Concordia’s main site and
Intranet to the next level. We are ready and excited for the challenge.
Kind regards,

Milestones
• We believe that the effort required to complete the phase two – UX/UI Design is directly impacted
by both the number and complexity of the component and template features. Without visibility of
the current vs. desired functionalities, we have to assume that the timing is correct, however
based on our experience in developing responsive websites, the effort may be revisited during
phase 1.
• In a similar fashion, without a full comprehension of the state of the front-end development and
quality of the code, the integration and development efforts may need to be revisited during the
project.
• w.illi.am/ provides a costing based on the 588 hours allocated for the full project, however a better
estimate should addressed at the beginning of the project.
• With regards to the team lead, we want to reinforce that we do not need more hours because we
are being more efficient with the use of an external front-end developer, which gives us the ability
to use those hours for the team lead.
• Given the estimated 588 hours, our projected timeline goes beyond April 30th which should be
addressed at the beginning of the project.
