Workforce Southwest Washington Website Redesign RFP (2026): Scoring and Budget
Closed March 6, 2026. Workforce Southwest Washington, the local workforce development board for three Washington counties, wanted its roughly 30-page WordPress site refreshed with better structure, imagery and mobile layouts.
What decided it
The RFQ anticipated $15,000 and capped quotes at $25,000. A homepage mockup was part of the submission, so bidders had to show design work before being hired. Public-sector or nonprofit WordPress experience was the clearest advantage.
Who it suited
Budget: $15K–$25K.
