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 design mock ups for key pages, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have visual identity guide, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to allow us to better support residents of the South Bronx, like providing emergency funds, or bringing class action suits against unconstitutional practices like stop and frisk.

The Bronx Defenders' mission is to transform the representation of low-income people navigating the justice system. In doing so, we transform the system itself. We spearheaded an innovative public defense model that takes our attorneys and social workers wherever our clients go, whether that is criminal, housing, family, or immigration court. We are hoping to transform our website into a more responsive, user-friendly, and powerful tool that can connect community members with resources and bring more supporters to join us in the pursuit of our ambitious goals.
