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 currently have a website design, a logo, and brand messaging, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have all content pages written, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,772 , allowing us to provide essential services to 900000 patients and their carers.

We are looking for someone to help build a complex CMS website that will contain basic information about ME/CFS, several interactive databases to allow patients to locate and read reviews of specialists, find support groups, and volunteers. The website also needs to allow for emails, a forum, and commerce, as well as a research library. We would be delighted if someone would explain which system would best suit our needs. (And if you want to set up the website, that would be cool, too.) We already have a website designer who is eager to work with a developer.
