Why This Is a Great Opportunity, and for Whom
For digital agencies, the Web Developer commission represents a relatively straightforward heritage website project with a strong emphasis on accessibility, content preservation, sustainability, and ease of use rather than advanced application development. A proposal that highlights experience with cultural heritage, nonprofit, museum, educational, or community websites, together with a simple CMS training plan and accessibility-focused approach, is likely to align well with the Foundation’s stated objectives.
