Website Construction (CMS-Based)

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!)
What we have in place
  • We have a squarespace website (www.rockawayrising.org) and some great photos and content, but we'd love to switch to wordpress.org.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to add 3 kids to our year-round program.

We are a fun, quirky non-proift and our website is missing the spark and spunk of our personality. We have 2 goals: 1. Make it super clear what we do and why we do it. 2. Make is super easy for people to give us all their money so we can keep doing it.
