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!)
Additional details

A website that is optimized for mobile that includes the use of Google Analytics.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website that we manage through Wordpress, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an example website from another organization that we would like to use as a starting point, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to work on improving our online giving interface.

PathWays PA's website was re-designed approximately five years ago. Since that re-designed the set-up of websites have become a lot cleaner, less cluttered, and easier to navigate. For the organization to be successful and bring its brand up to date it needs a new, easy to navigate website that is optimized for mobile. As a Google AdWords grantee we understand the importance optimization for mobile plays in positioning our website (and organization) higher in Google's search results. Also a cleaner website will make it easier for potential donors the information they are looking for on our site.
