| The University of Queensland Press (UQP) is seeking to redevelop their website to celebrate their 70th anniversary.
Established in 1948, UQP is a dynamic publishing house known for its innovative philosophy and commitment to producing books of high quality and cultural significance. It has launched the careers of many celebrated Australian writers, such as David Malouf, Peter Carey, Kate Grenville, Doris Pilkington and Nick Earls.
Originally founded as a traditional university press, UQP has since branched into publishing books for general readers in the areas of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, Indigenous writing and youth literature. Our books and authors have received national and international recognition through literary prizes, rights sales and writers’ festivals. From 2010, UQP has been meeting the challenges of a changing publishing landscape by releasing selected out-of-print titles in digital formats, in addition to the digital and print publishing of new books.
The current website (https://www.uqp.uq.edu.au/) is over 10 years old. UQP does not have access to a content management system (CMS) to update banner images or promotions, and the online store is not integrated with their inventory catalogue or UQ’s payment systems. The website does not rank well in search engine results for their authors or publications.
Objectives:
· to create a modern, mobile-responsive website that will allow UQP to update and create content to better promote and support their authors and the Queensland writing community; and
· integrate the online store with UQP’s inventory management system and UQ’s payment system to deliver a fast and seamless experience for direct customers of UQP and reduce manual handling by UQP and UQ staff.
Submission to this RFQ tender is by invitation only. Please contact ITO manager Winston Woo at winston.woo@uq.edu.au / 07 33466984
