RFO Web Design

• • Background **

The OWASP Brochureware project is an initiative to produce a set of "marketing" pages to allow for key OWASP material to be laid out in a user-friendly and enable our customers to get this information easily. Whilst the wiki has proven to be a great resource for collaborative development, the complex structure of the site can leave new users confused about where to go to get the information they are interested in. The goal of the project is to have a series of templates which can be used by areas of OWASP, to create their own marketing pages which can be added in to this site.

• • Work to Date **

So far the participants on the owasp-website mailing list has discussed the possible structure of the marketing pages, and a proposed structure and wireframe layouts have been agreed.

• • Next Steps **

What's needed now is to engage the services of a professional design organisation to create proposals for the visual style of the pages. Getting a good visual design will be key to the success of the project. As such we will need funding to complete this design. At a ballpark estimate these costs will be between $5000 and $10000, however confirmation of this will only be possible once bids.

• • What's needed **

Approval from the board for funding for the design elements of the project.
