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 an operational website, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a recent site audit available,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to provide 10 children summer progamming scholarships otherwise.

Caring People Alliance’s website is an integral part of our outreach and branding efforts. Unfortunately, the nuts and bolts of our current platform are showing signs of age; as is, the site doesn’t reflect the dynamic nature of our mission and programs otherwise. We need a reconstructed site that is technologically current, easily managed, and provides for visually appealing content. This project will help strengthen our online presence, and better reach community members, potential donors and program partners.
