fulfill and enhance the stated requirements

1. Project Initiation: confirming the scope and requirements of your new solution, as well as

gathering key elements for the visual design process such as logos, icons, fonts, colors, and

pictures.

2. Use Case Analysis and Design: this phase examines the types of users who will be accessing

the website, the types of information they will be accessing, how they will access that

information, and in what form that information will take.

3. Creating the Information Architecture: this phase focuses on creating the overall functional

and technical design of the new solution.

5

4. Visual Design: uses the elements gathered during project initiation, coupled with the use cases

and information architecture to guide graphical design professionals through the process of

creating the overall look and feel of the new website.

5. Technical Design, Development, and Testing: during this phase Fab Innovation will design,

build, and test the new website – employing

6. Training: Fab Innovation believes in training early and training often. We begin the training

process at project initiation and continue training throughout the duration of the project.

FAB INNOVATION’S PROCESSES AND METHODS

Fab Innovation’s high level work plan for this effort lists the major activities by phase, the

primary deliverables created as a result of each activity, and the tasks where Fab Innovation will

require participation by ICAN UK secretariat (as indicated in the activity description as items

with a “*”).

Participation at the beginning of the project will be more intensive than elsewhere in the project

as it is imperative that our team has access to key information with the knowledge necessary to

define what the site must provide to its intended visitors.

the required solution, our team captured each of the functional and technical requirements listed

in the body of ICAN UK BRS. The following section details each of the requirements that we

were able to identify and the solution that Fab Innovation will apply to meet your requirements.

From our detailed analysis of your requirements we strongly believe that our solution meets

100% of your technical and functional requirements and a majority of your requirements can be

fulfilled with off-the-shelf capabilities inherent in the custom built admin panel.

Your Requirement OUR SOLUTION

1.0 UUUpdate website content

a Content Management Capable website Fab Innovation’s team has deep and

broad

experience in the discovery and

development processes associated with

developing CMS capable websites. We

have the expertise and processes

required to help ICAN UK identify

what solutions need to be developed,

the scope of those

solutions, the resources and skills

required

(internal or external), the requirements

that need to be met, developing a

communication brief

Fab Innovation would implement an

Intuitive and easy to use admin

12

interface with Clearly defined and

documented API for provisioning,back-

office integration and permission-based

security levels that will allow the

secretariat make changes easily to the

website, without referring to us.

Not only would the admin panel help

the administrator (user with assigned

role) with little or no technical know-

how edit text and graphics, updating of

adverts it would also take care of a lot

of "behind the scenes" work such as:

Drag and Drop navigation system

to enable updating of graphics

Making content searchable and

indexable

Keeping track of members, their

profile, their permissions and

financial status

Send automated emails and alerts

to members

Assign members roles and limit

members user access

event they are prompted to register for

the event. The admin would be able to

see how many members has registered

for the event.

9.0 Survey / Voting on Issues orElection

Functionality for voting on issues and

elections. Issues will be created by

secretariat with category & voting during

assigned. Access to vote restricted to

16

STANDARD FEATURES

In addition to ICAN UK’s technical requirements and our solutions outlined above, our base

platform also includes a rich and robust suite of basic features that include:

Security

Our solution leverages the admin panel’s security framework – providing the ability to restrict

access to features, functions, and administrative tasks based on user accounts (user ID and

password), user roles (e.g. content authors, site administrators), and granular permissions (e.g.,

ability to author and publish a calendar event).

User Accounts

Our solution provides the ability to control the creation and activation of members accounts.

There are three basic scenarios supported by our off-the-shelf solution:

1. Members may self-register and the system automatically approves their account

2. Members may self-register but a systems administrator must approve their account

3. Only system administrators can create and approve Members accounts

Our solution also provides “self-service” password resets, allowing Members to request a new

password in the case of forgotten password without requiring intervention by a systems

administrator.

Member Roles

Member roles provide a mechanism for restricting or enabling access to features, content, and

sections of your website. You may define as many roles as required to address the various user

types on your website. A member may be assigned to one or more roles, dependent on the access

levels that you want to provide to that person.

Permissions

Roles provide a mechanism for categorizing members whereas permissions is the mechanism for

controlling access to individual features, areas of your website, and content. Each role in the

system has its own set of permissions, enabling or restricting access to features of your website.

Captcha / Mollom

Fab Innovation’s base platform employs Captcha as mechanisms for blocking spam on your

website.

Content Authoring and Publishing

17

Content authoring in our solution is performed through a simple web browser based interface.

Any user with the proper roles and permissions can author content from any computer that has

access to your site.

Calendars

Our solution provides a simple to use mechanism for creating online calendars on your website.

Authors create events through the WYSIWYG editor which automatically appear on calendars

based on the category selected. Sites may have departmental or category based calendars, as well

as site-wide calendars.

Polls

Our solution provides the ability to create and administer online polls. You may have one or

several polls running simultaneously on your site. Our solution provides a simple to use

mechanism for tracking results and viewing votes.

RSS Feeds

Our solution provides the ability to automatically generate RSS feeds from content created on

your website. Our solution also provides the ability to import and render RSS feeds from external

sources on your website (aggregation).

Social Networking Tools

We have other optional social networking components that enable integration of your website

with Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Digg, Delicious and other social networking sites.

eNewsletters

Our base solution includes the ability to author and distribute enewsletters. Members have the

ability to register to receive newsletters (via email), as well as manage their subscriptions

through a simple to use online form.

Search Engine Optimization

Our base solution employs several tools and techniques for search engine optimization,

including: page titles, meta tags, automatically generating search engine friendly URLs, XML

site maps, and a detailed SEO checklist module.

Responsive Design

Responsive web design is a web design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal

viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and

18

scrolling—across a wide range of devices. In essence, responsive design allows the creation of a

website that reformats its contents depending on what device it is being viewed on.

Clearly, a website will look and behave very differently on a 27-inch desktop monitor than on a

9-inch tablet PC. Responsive design takes these differences into consideration to ensure that the

user experience is always optimized. This feature would be implemented on the website.

Support for Rich Media Types

Our solution supports a wide variety of rich media types including photographs, images, video,

audio (podcasts), and flash. Content authors can easily incorporate rich media through the by

using one of the embedded media tools provided by our base solution (e.g., importing a YouTube

video). Our solution provides multiple methods for rendering. Our solution also automatically

resizes and crops uploaded images based on criteria you set through the web browser based

administrative interface.

Optional Features

There are of optional features that you may select from to extend the functionality of our base

platform. Popular add-ons include:

Twitter Integration

Our solution supports bi-directional integration with the Twitter social networking site. “Tweets”

posted to your Twitter account can automatically display on your website, and new content

created on your site can automatically generate a “Tweet” with an announcement and link to the

new content.

Facebook Integration

Our solution also supports bi-directional integration with Facebook. Items posted on your

Facebook “wall” automatically show on your website. Content posted on your website can

automatically post to your Facebook page.

Service, Training and Support Management

Post Implementation Plan

Fab Innovation intends to deliver a functionally rich platform that meets the functional and

technical requirements of ICAN UK– enabling the organization to quickly achieve measureable

results from the efforts and solutions outlined in our proposal.

19

Fab Innovation will train ICAN UK’s secretariat on the tools, processes, and techniques for

managing the new website prior to the implementation of the new site in your production

environment.

Fab Innovation’s approach focuses on training early and training often. Our objective is to get

Fab innovation’s staff “hands on” within the first week or two of the project.

This intensive focus on training helps the secretariat become comfortable with the platform and

facilitates the process of taking ownership and responsibility for the new site. We will warranty

ICAN UK’s project for a period of 4 months post go live as part of our base proposal.

Hosting

Many of our clients ask us for direction in selecting a hosting platform and provider for their new

website. We recommend GoDaddy, a company known for its expertise in hosting high

performance websites.

All of Go Daddy’s solutions support several programming languages, including CGI (Python and

Ruby), PHP, Perl, ASP, MySQL, ColdFusion and FrontPage extensions.

As one of the few hosting providers to offer fully managed hosting, from small virtual private

server plans up through large deployments of clustered hosting plans, GoDaddy has a hosting

plan that will fit any website and budget. For their full company portfolio and services please see

their website at http://www.godaddy.com/
