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We currently have a website that is outdated and not maintained.

What we have in place
  • We currently have data, infographics in development and will have content, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an existing website and national branding protocols, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to better serve students throughout the state of TX.

A current and engaging website is important for our overall state network in telling our story and driving support for our work.
