Notice Title

(NU/1589-61) Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Website Build

Notice Description

We've identified the need to re-develop the current Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty website (https://www.ncl.ac.uk/hss/). The current site has become out of date and no longer reflects the vision, structure, strengths and breadth of activity taking place across the Faculty. The result is a site which no longer serves its purpose and meets the requirements of the Faculty Communications Strategy, which ultimately responds to the expectations set out in the Faculty's strategic priorities. As all the initial stages of the web development are being done in-house, the supplier is required to use the provided IA, wireframes and content developed in-house in order to build the new site in the latest version of our CMS.
