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!)
Additional details

A WordPress and CSS styling whiz who can make styling and alignment adjustments beyond the offerings of the theme.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a content rich website, womenentrepreneursgrowglobal.org, which will make it easy to get going. We have completed a lot of research and are very close to picking our WordPress theme, which we will purchase and install on our new Managed WP hosting server at GoDaddy. The Project Manager on the WEGG team has extensive experience customizing WordPress websites, so can easily speak the language and will be dedicated to managing this project effectively and efficiently. Because we have a great knowledge base of WP, minimal time will be required to educate us on the CMS.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to shift our limited budget to other important growth areas.

We need our website to be current and competitive. We are utilizing cutting edge technology (like GoToWebinar) to educate our base of women entrepreneurs and our current website is way behind the times. We need to make it more user-friendly and need to ramp up our SEO to better reach our users and meet our mission of educating women business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide on going global so they can run healthier businesses.
