1. Blog Redesign RFQ
Background
Since 1999, Cool Culture has been connecting diverse families with preschool children to New York City’s
world renowned museums. We work to remove barriers that inhibit equal to museums by providing
programming, forming partnerships between communities, schools and museums and empowering
parents as their child’s first educator.
Project Scope
Cool Culture is currently planning a larger site redesign, but we are first looking to build a visually
stunning and organized blog that demonstrates the power of well-designed communications that we
can show to potential funders as rationale for funding. (Hint: We will likely use the Upnews Wordpress
theme.)
Technology Preferences
We are looking to build a WordPress blog using a pre-existing template that a designer can customize to
the look and feel of our brand.
