INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
1 CONTRACTING AUTHORITY
Sitra’s website development project aims to create the best possible organisa-
tion website at this development state of the web. It also aims to share the pro-
ject outcomes and lessons learned with the rest of the world and, during the
project, flexibly use complementary expertise and contributions on solving its
challenges.
The preliminary analysis material for the project (website vision, project de-
scription, expected outcome, user persona descriptions) can be found at
http://opencorporatesite.posterous.com/, where the project results have also
been planned to be shared.
2. To use the project as an open learning case to share and create informa-
tion and best practices of organisation website development projects.
This includes enabling other organisations to utilise the project’s re-
sults in their respective online projects.
6. To create a fast and reliable web service which works well with both
general search engines and an internal search function and enables the
creation of new separate websites and adding new features.
The Sitra website is not primarily made for Sitra's internal needs, but the needs
of the people using the website. Sitra has conducted a survey to find out what
kind of people are typical users of the online service, and the gathered informa-
tion will be used as a basis for the development project.
