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

Our current website is in Wordpress but I don't like the setup and format. It all needs to be reconstructed.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website a spaat.org, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a storage of pictures, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to use these funds for an additional staff person or for programming while allowing us to raise additional funds in the future.

This project is important because we are growing the organization. More people are interested in what we are doing, what we have done and in our current news. We need a website that displays all of these things and can easily be updated in the future.

Working with Nicole was absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. We appreciate her patience and her commitment to doing an excellent job. She created a stellar website for us. We are so happy with the redesign. Nicole was guiding us all the way, as soon as we had an idea she would let us know all the available options! She communicated well and made deadlines on time - was helpful in corraling us in as well! :) Would love to work with her again and HIGHLY recommend her work and services! Thank you Nicole!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Harold and Ericka on this website redesign project. They were helpful and responsive. I hope that their new website helps increase awareness about the incredible work their organization is doing in their local community, secures more donations, and leads to future growth. It was an honor to be a part of this! I wish them continued success!
