[jobsthatareLEFT by GAIN] RFP: MoveOn.org Website Rebranding Project - New Django / ActionKit Frontend Theme Development

MoveOn.org Civic Action and MoveOn.org Political Action

Request for Proposals


Project Title: MoveOn.org Website Rebranding Project - New Django / ActionKit Frontend Theme Development


Proposals accepted on a rolling basis until: Friday, Feb 16, 2018


Project Description: MoveOn is embarking on a process of rebranding, and will be updating the look and feel of all our web properties. A key component of our web properties are web pages hosted in our ActionKit installation. ActionKit powers pages like our donation forms: https://act.moveon.org/donate/dream-act MoveOn member surveys: https://act.moveon.org/survey/endorsement_IL_Gov/ and Event search, signup, and host pages https://act.moveon.org/event/sept-senate-healthcare-rally/search/. ActionKit is a political CRM that hosts a handful of different types of pages, and uses a Django-based template system to allow content managers to customize pages: https://roboticdogs.actionkit.com/docs/manual/developer/customizing_pages.html Each ActionKit template set contains a set of ~100 HTML and CSS template files that control the structure and styling of all ActionKit pages. Our template set has a main style theme CSS file managing site-wide styles, and a handful of additional CSS files managing page-specific styles.


Starting from detailed design guidance from our rebranding implementation plan, including a new HTML/CSS style guide describing colors, fonts, and page elements, and an HTML/CSS wireframe for a new version of the https://act.moveon.org/donate/pac-donation donation page, create a new ActionKit template set that implements the new look and feel of our updated brand across all ActionKit-hosted pages, working closely with the MoveOn tech team and a web designer.


Request for Proposal: We are looking for developers to update Django-based HTML/CSS templates to create and launch a new look and feel for all MoveOn.org ActionKit pages.

We are determined to make the 2018 elections a turning point, helping Democrats win the House to create a roadblock to Trump & Republicans' ability to advance their toxic agenda, while electing new progressive champions who can help lead our country to a better future in races down ballot across the country.  In preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead of us in 2018, MoveOn is investing deeply in building and scaling our technology stack.
