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 the website on-line., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have staff to work with you, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to cover operational costs.

We want to inform the community about the services we provide to help for people who are struggling financially and are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.

We want a website that speaks to our mission and cause.
