Legal Web Site Application

This project is to build a dynamic web site application used to run a law firm’s website. In building the application, the ease of adding new content should be kept in mind. In particular, the following areas should be modified in the following ways: 1. Attorney (referred to as “Our People??)??" ability to add / edit attorneys, including education, practice areas. 2. Practice Areas (referred to as “Our Services?? in reference site) ??" add new practice areas, edit descriptions 3. Publications ??" add new publications associated with a practice area 4. News & Events ??" add new general news events The application should be built using PHP using an existing PHP framework (such as Seagull) that allows for database independence and templates. Basically, the functionality behind this site ??" [[login to view URL]][1]??" should be duplicated. However, not all functionality needs to be copied. Based on what is available from the front page, only the following sections need to be copied: 1. About Us 2. Our Services (Practice Areas generals) ??" search functionality not needed, but merely practice area listing. 3. Our People - no search functionality 4. News & Events ??" In the Headlines & Press Room & Events 5. Publications ??" Articles & Newsletters Careers 7. Briefcase ??" this is actually a mailing list that keys into new articles based on a practice area. The design is not important. What is important is the site design is put in templates that can be easily updated, and the core content is controlled by a user / password protected administration panel. Comments about how it will be implemented will be appreciated in reviewing bids. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
