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 exiting website and good ideas, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated staff, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,762 , allowing us to help more people with our free tax services.

1. Guide selection of a modern responsive and accessible WordPress theme

4. Optimize website speed and security as needed
5. Install Google Analytics and train staff to view basic reports
