The ‘STEPS (Step-by-step) Governance Framework’ was initially developed as a franchise management system, but can also be used in other industries like the retail, building-, beauty-, financial-, education-, law- and banking industries. ? The word ‘STEPS’ is derived from our development approach to make the system user friendly and simple to use. Everything in the system is done in a ‘Step-by-step’ manner and the website should portray that same image. ? **Example Screen Shots** Screen shots of the current application will be provided to the winning bidder **Speed** The website must load quickly. It may contain Flash animation, but long animations that take long to download should be avoided. ? **Unique** The design must be unique and NOT be used anywhere else. ? **The following basic templates are required.** ·? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? **Homepage** ??"The homepage should include; ? o? ?

Remember it must appeal to business clients in various industries. ? We prefer an ‘Easy-to-Use’ look and feel, but it must appeal to the corporate/business sector (See examples). A simple design that draws attention is king. ? **Examples** The following are examples of web designs that I like: ? <[login to view URL]> This website includes all the elements that are required for the homepage. ?
