Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
Additional details

We have an existing custom WP site that needs redeveloped based on our UX audit. We also need someone to dig into the customizations & evaluate their necessity + train us on how to efficiently use these customized tools.

What we have in place
  • Our customized WP website launched nine months ago with lots of extras. We also have results from a user site survey, UX suggested changes, and a full content library.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,772 , allowing us to inform, reach, and be scalable to the 300000 diverse women who rely on our training programs.

Our organization is 100% online, and the success of all our programs is dependent upon having a working website that our staff and other volunteers can manage. We need an experienced Wordpress developer who can understand the existing logic of the site and its customizations who will then in turn advise and implement improvements while being capable of training key staff.

Testimonials

Annalyn worked tirelessly to take our broken site and piece it together into a working site. I mostly appreciated her thoughtfulness and thoroughness in helping us to get all the kinks worked out. Annalyn is attentive, fast, dedicated, and tremendously patient. She worked just as hard as we did, and went way above and beyond the call of duty. She worked right alongside me one night until FOUR THIRTY IN THE MORNING purely out of her natural commitment to deliver with excellence.That will not soon be forgotten. She has been right there, helping out whenever and wherever needed for these past few months. Everything has finally started to come together, and she has been a key player in making it happen. Our gratitude cannot be understated, and I look forward to working together on projects in the future. Go Annalyn!!
