Updated Request for Proposal for Website Development Provider
The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission (SMADC) of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland (TCCSMD) is requesting proposals from experienced and professional website development providers for the creation of a new website that will be an upgrade from our existing website (currently hosted at southernmarylandmeats.com), as well as provide space for expansion to include web capabilities for our upcoming Regional Agriculture Center (RAC), expertise to integrate complex and comprehensive software systems, ongoing maintenance, database management, POS service, and development of a companion app.
The current website, Southern Maryland Meats, is a brand and directory website that represents our 60+ member farms with the goal of improving the local economy and opportunities for smaller local meat producers. We are seeking to create a new website for Southern Maryland Meats, with an eye toward future expansion, enhanced branding and service to our members, the inclusion of the upcoming Regional Agricultural Center, and ongoing security, usability, and configurability.
This core site will later grow to become a more fully featured database driven B2B/B2C clearinghouse using software tools for connecting vendors, ordering, aggregating, financial reporting and more.
Proposals must be submitted electronically by 4:00 p.m. EST on September 13th, to Shelby Watson-Hampton, SMADC Director, at swatsonhampton@smadc.com. The Contract Agreement shall be from September 18th, to December 15th, 2023.
