Guelph Humane Society Website Redesign RFP (2026): Scope and Requirements
Closed April 20, 2026. The Guelph Humane Society, a registered charity in Ontario, wanted its 2017 website redesigned to support adoptions, donations, volunteering and education.
What decided it
No weights or budget were stated. Accessibility under AODA was its own criterion, and the integrations with four CRMs made technical fit matter. The timeline was tight, with completion by autumn.
Who it suited
Best suited to a studio with comparable project experience and three references.
