Objectives
Bloomsbury have asked WAI to provide a costing for creating www.starfighterbooks.com website which at present is only a competition page. The purpose of this site is to support the launch of the Starfighters book sets launching on 2012. Bloomsbury have 10 books to launch in 2012 in 3 sets of 3 and 1 for Christmas 2012 the site will aim to; o promote the books and aim to sell more o A fun backup to the printed books, a destination for fans of the books to go The books are going to be launched in the UK, Australia and the US. The UK launch will happen mid February 2012 but will be heroed in the book shops from the 1st Feb so the UK site or a landing page would ideally be launched for this time. Launch dates in the US and Aus are TBC. Bloomsbury want a countdown tool to appear on the sites which WAI would create as a Supadu APP

o Most complicated - Integrate with an existing web service to collect in a Bloomsbury database (would be more investigation
to cost accurately)
Project Assumptions
We assume that all assets will be provided to WAI o o o WAI will be responsible for all design, build and stocking of the UK sites. WAI will set up all 3 sites and the countdown for the 3 sites. WAI assume that the local teams at Bloomsbury will be responsible for stocking the US and the Australia if content differs from UK once launched. WAI suggest providing some WEBEX training time to the local teams in US and Aus. When licensing the games through the novel gaming engine WAI will be responsible for the skinning and set up but the contract will be bwteen Bloomsbury and Novel games and Bloomsbury.
