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
  • MathTalk is still in a reasonably early chapter of its life, but already we have built a formidable nucleus that includes: 1) a maturing methodology for our project design developed in conjunction with major Boston-based institutions; 2) high level partnerships that include the City of Boston, Educational Testing Services, Boston Children's Museum; and 3) Advisors who are national leaders in professional sectors spanning Tech, Venture Capital, Science, Finance, Education. We have firm confidence in our vision + core strategy, and our network of relationships is elite.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to provide educational enrichment for 2000 families, many from under-serviced communities, by this time next year.

We believe that the work of MathTalk will embody a fresh new approach to education for Pre-K children, provide a new cultural landscape for parent-child engagement, and help economically disadvantaged families. The uniqueness of our work is rooted in two foundational pillars: educational innovation and cultural insight. We are looking to develop a website that will serve as a digital exhibition to demonstrate the thought process and cultural depth of MathTalk. Such a website will help convey the unique value of our work, in order to help us grow our brand and fundraise.
