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 wordpress based site, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a recent website audit and directive for redesign, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to allowing us to put those funds into our programs that currently support 33 environmental organizations in the region..

Your website is everything. We desperately need a website that is goal driven and produces results for our organization. We are currently floundering in this department and missing out on critical opportunities to raise awareness and funds.
