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

Current website is managed through Wix and needs a new fresh look as we approach our 5 year anniversary.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an active site via Wix, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have developed content and pictures, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $35,314 , allowing us to provide college readiness/preparation support and college tours to 20 high school seniors.

The success of our organization depends on a good website that matches our quality of programming. Without your help, we cannot allocate time or resources to revamping the website. Your skills will empower us to reach a broader audience have eye-catching designs.

Testimonials

This is my second Catchafire project working with Xavier and this experience was just as great the last! Xavier does a great job at listening and understanding the specifications of the project, but more importantly fully grasping your vision and bringing it to life. Xavier is extremely professional and keeps the project moving, even when you may be juggling multiple work/life tasks. He has a great design aesthetic and recommended improvements and enhancements to make our site more functional. If you have the opportunity to work with Xavier, you will not be disappointed.

Website Construction (CMS-Based) Project

From the first design project, I had a great time continuing to lend my design services to TheBe.Org non-profit organization. Tonee was very precise in her design request and trusted me in the visual design choices and how the site would communicate to her future students that'll attend the Be. programs in the future. I hope to continue to help Tonee and her design projects in the near future.
