Website Refresh and url redirect, Hubspot Expertise required

Request for Proposal candace.com website refresh and url change Work for: CandyRock Entertainment August, 2026 Project Overview: Website Development in Hubspot Candacecbure.com needs to be revised, with candace.com as the new primary domain. Currently, candace.com is being redirected to ccbpodcast.com, and some sub urls are being directed within candacecbure.com (candace.com/tour). This refresh will include buildout of a new book section, and will need to pay attention to meta data to optimize SEO and AIO We expect this project to have four phases: strategy, design, development, and launch. This document defines the exact work needed. Please provide pricing and a proposed approach as outlined in the Bid Submission Requirements section. The work is a structured consolidation and refresh, not a ground-up redesign. The existing HubSpot template structure should remain wherever it makes sense. Strategy phase should establish the approved architecture before any design begins. Design phase should establish a consistent visual system before any development begins. Copywriting: vendor should suggest copy changes as needed, most copy will remain These are related urls that will have primary references under candace.com in the redesign, but there are no planned changes to these pages: ○ ccbpodcast.com ○ together-community.com ○ candyrockent.com Scope of Work by Phase Phase 1: Strategy Deliverable Scope Detail Kickoff Session Initial collaborative working session with CandyRock. Align on project goals, timeline, page priorities, and brand direction before any design or development work begins. Session will include publisher representatives. Sitemap Architecture Develop a recommended sitemap for candace.com based on goals and discovery. Cover navigation structure, book section hierarchy, and integration points for ccbpodcast.com, together-community.com, candyrockent.com, Shopify, and tour. Prepare sitemap for review and approval before design begins. Homepage Structure A restructured homepage will be needed, including content and design direction, with a new established conversion hierarchy (podcast, “Got Questions” button, popup and email acquisition form structure, books, live events, Together Community, Shopify, movies – all as external links) — reviewed and approved by client before design begins. Phase 2: Design Deliverable Scope Detail Design System Recommendation Audit the current candacecbure.com setup and document a consistent design language to carry forward into candace.com. Deliverable covers: typography, color application across module types, spacing and layout structure, and module usage guidelines. This should become the reference standard for all page design work. There is an existing/ updated brand guide in place for color usage, but we will need new typography suggested to replace an existing font that doesn’t work well digitally. No new photography needed, and designer will have photo options to choose from. Navigation & Global Header Design Mockups of the updated navigation, reflecting approved sitemap architecture and podcast link prominence. Desktop and tablet / mobile layouts should both be considered included. Homepage Layout Design Full homepage design mockup based on the approved structure established in the strategy. Use updated brand colors and photography, and suggest additional visual depth elements Book Section Design Design a book index page and individual book page template, and scale it to support the upcoming publishing calendar, based on publisher input Client Design Review & Approval Present Designs to CandyRock for review, and confirm approval before development. Phase 3: Development Deliverable Scope Detail Domain Swap & Portal Configuration Reconfigure HubSpot portal to set candace.com as the primary domain. Retain candacecbure.com in the portal for redirect purposes. Confirm HubSpot account structure with client prior to execution. Redirect Implementation Build and implement redirect rules so all candacecbure.com URLs route to the corresponding candace.com pages. Include the candace.com/together redirect (printed in Candace’s physical books — must resolve correctly at launch). Global Header & Navigation Build Develop updated global header and navigation per approved design. Podcast link prominent in upper right. All outbound links wired: ccbpodcast.com, together-community.com, candyrockent.com, Shopify. Homepage Build Develop homepage per approved layout. Conversion hierarchy: podcast access and guide downloads primary, followed by books, Together Community, Shopify, tour, movies. Brand Consistency Pass Apply approved design system (colors, typography, module structure) across all carried-over pages from candacecbure.com. Resolve current mix of flat and layered visual treatments. Book Section Build Build book index page, and individual book page templates in HubSpot. Initial set: 3 previously released titles, October 2026 release. Each page will include cover art, description, multi-vendor purchase links, and companion course link. All assets and copy will be provided by HarperCollins. Footer Audit & Fix Correct footer rendering across all pages. Address image cutoff issue on certain pages. Apply consistent footer treatment site-wide. Photo & Asset Swap Implement updated photography and brand assets provided by CandyRock across applicable pages. Phase 4: QA & Launch Deliverable Scope Detail Cross-Device QA Full quality assurance pass across desktop, tablet, and mobile. All pages, navigation, CTAs, redirects, and outbound links reviewed. Redirect Verification Confirm all candacecbure.com redirects resolve correctly, with specific attention to candace.com/together. Launch Execution Execute domain swap and go-live. Monitor immediately post-launch for any redirect or rendering issues. Post-Launch Review Review window after launch to address any issues that surface in initial use. Needs discovery ● HubSpot account structure: we need to understand how candace.com can be added or swapped as the primary domain on the Hubspot account before development begins. ● Full page inventory for candacecbure.com — needed to finalize page count for the brand consistency pass and redirect scope. Assets / CandyRock responsibilities: ● CandyRock will provide all primary copy for all pages: homepage, book section, and any updated carried-over pages. ● HarperCollins Publishers will provide all book assets: cover images, descriptions, and purchase links. ● ccbpodcast.com, candyrockent.com, and together-community.com don’t need changes, just linking ● Confirm that HubSpot portal subscription supports adding candace.com as a primary domain — will confirm with HubSpot prior to kickoff. ● Mighty Networks/HubSpot CRM Zapier integration is not modified; candace.com links outbound only. ● Approved sitemap and homepage outline are prerequisites for design work beginning. Design does not start until Phase 1 approvals are received. Pricing Please review and provide a total project cost. Complete the Vendor Quote column below (or provide an equivalent breakdown).
