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

We are a tech savvy staff that needs additional capacity to take this on. Once the new site is complete we will make sure it continues to be updated and reflects your gift of time and talent.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a wordpress site and all of the assets, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an open mind to collaborate together in order to create something special, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to provide additional field trips for our students to attend college or a career program.

We are a growing nonprofit that would like our website to reflect our new image that we are more than just a scholarship, but a hub that provides programs and support for African American Bay area youth and eventually national model. We want our website to be welcoming for supporters to learn about meaningful ways that can get involved, and have avenues that can provide our students a one-stop location for resources that we have identified as a need.
