Details

Prosperity Candle has a current blog integrated into our Wordpress website, but we've been advised to create it as a separate website that can help drive more traffic to our site and create a more unique, whimsical brand identity. We'd like to have a blog that has a distinct feel from our website - more playful, spirited and reflective.

Ideally we could also use this new blog template to help us create landing pages for specific awareness-building campaigns. We're looking for both technical skills & creativity in a pro bono professional!

Description

Blogs enable organizations to easily publish a stream of new content. WordPress is a free open-source and SEO-friendly blogging software that organizations can use to build blogs and provide regularly updated content to their audiences. This project helps an organization establish and customize a WordPress blog that meets the organization’s communication needs.

Questions

I have worked on other similar CMS but not on WordPress...not sure if that's helpful for this project. But if it is I will be happy to help.
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately we are committed to keeping our blog within our Wordpress site, so Wordpress experience is really ideal for this project. Good luck!
