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 branding and marketing guide from 2014, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a working list of "wants" for the new website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to reduce barrier to entry by subsidizing team registration and keeping vendor registration low to encourage local emerging artists.

The annual PFCU Kensington Derby & Arts Festival (kensingtonkineticarts.org) is part parade of human-powered sculptures, part arts festival. Over the last decade, the festival has become a beloved neighborhood tradition and a representation of the many talented, creative, and community-minded individuals in our corner of Philadelphia. This event has been a cornerstone of our revitalization efforts, and is now a major fundraiser for NKCDC and thelocal neighbors group. Our resources are limited when it comes to marketing. We need any help we can get building a mobile-friendly CMS-based website that is editable by staff and serves our needs.
