Lesikar's Business Communication: Connecting in a Digital World 13th Edition by Kathryn Rentz,Paula Lentz

Exercise 11

Recently, you met with Dan Arojo, marketing manager with DeZine, a major architectural and construction firm. His company released an RFP (request for proposal) for someone to design, host, and maintain his company's website. Your company, Web2Go, specializes in Web design and plans to submit a proposal. Fortunately, Mr. Arojo was kind enough to meet with you to answer some questions regarding the proposal. He emphasized that DeZine is looking for a creative site that uses modern Web technologies but is user friendly, easily navigated, and visually appealing.
You learned that DeZine's signature architectural style is edgy and "hip" while being environmentally conscious. You learned that you will need to include a list of all fees you will charge for designing, creating, and hosting the site; if there are fees that DeZine will incur that are not part of the proposal, you must list them, as the company wants no surprises. In addition, if you plan to subcontract any of the work (e.g., use freelance designers, artists, writers), you must list the subcontractors in the proposal as well. Furthermore, any work you create would become the property of DeZine, not Web2Go. Aft er your talk with Mr. Arojo, you are confident that your company's proposal will meet his needs and are excited about submitting it. Write a thank-you note to Mr. Arojo for meeting with you and providing you with the information for your proposal.
