Website RFP guide
Screen Canadian website development RFPs before you commit.
A website request can hide substantial accessibility, bilingual, hosting, security, integration, and experience requirements. Test the whole delivery model, not only the design brief.
Built for: Canadian web studios, UX teams, CMS implementers, and development agencies.
Read beyond the website label
Clarify whether the buyer needs research, content migration, design systems, custom development, managed hosting, security testing, ongoing support, or all of them together.
Six checks for web teams
- CMS and integration constraints
- WCAG and public-sector accessibility evidence
- English and French content requirements
- Hosting, privacy, security, and data residency
- Mandatory project values and reference contracts
- Support term, service levels, and submission timeline
Partner before you overreach
When the core work fits but one mandatory specialty does not, use the question period to clarify the rule and decide early whether a credible partner closes the gap.
