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 a html website we need to convert to WordPress, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated staff person to work with you directly, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to implement more time and energy into programming and offering services to people with a mental illness. This is about the salary of a part-time staff person!

Our current website is outdated and needs a face lift Websites are an essential part of marketing and lets people, and funders learn more about your organization. It can often be the first impression for external stakeholders.
