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 web design portion of our website created on adobe xd, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a web designer to make any necessary adjustments, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,792 , allowing us to focus our individual donations and funding on programming and capacity building.

The success of our organization depends on the clarity and professionalism of our website. Without your help, we cannot have an accessible strong web presence. Your skills will empower us to create a strong functional website that will display our org.

Testimonials

Read the Impact Story
Jonathan was amazing! He's definitely on my top 5 greatest of all time Catchafire volunteers list. He was so very patient with us in making sure the live launch of our website was done correctly, and always made us feel accommodated by answering our questions, providing feedback, and alternative options when things didn't quite work on an initial try. I'd highly recommend working with Jonathan on a Website Construction project, because he's awesome!
