Town of Duck Website Redesign RFP (2026): Scope and Requirements
Closed May 14, 2026. The Town of Duck, North Carolina, wanted a modern, accessible website on a new CMS that doubles as a year-round communications tool and emergency information hub.
What decided it
No weights and no budget were stated, so cost was one factor among several. The accessibility tooling and the 10% HUB participation goal were the unusual requirements. Experience with similar-sized governments was named twice in the criteria.
Who it suited
Best suited to a studio with public-sector experience and three references.
