CED envisions that our staff & collaborators will be supported in their work by a well-organized information architecture, in which our operational procedures, policies, structure, and workflows are clear and accessible. We seek a consultant who brings conceptual alignment, as well as technical expertise in building knowledge bases, internal wikis, or intranets for organizations of our size and nature, to develop a CED internal website on the Google Sites platform (based on a template and sitemap we will provide), which:

• Serves as a knowledge base that houses and maps how to find information, links to where resources and guidance are located, and provides who to connect to for further support in a given area
• It is user-friendly and accessible to people with different learning styles and across job functions
• Lends itself well to being indexed and to support FAQ-style interaction as a primary function
• Interfaces with the other platforms CED uses to carry out our work (Google Drive, Asana, Slack)
• Can develop over time to meet the needs of other collaborators (through additional sections/content curated for board, volunteers, contractors, etc.)
• Can incorporate some wiki-like functionality if the general staff desires to engage as contributors
