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

Construction of wordpress website; Design phase complete.

What we have in place
  • We currently have design, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have style guide, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,782 , allowing us to award grants to up to 8 organization s that improving the quality of life in our county.

After a recent merger and rebranding, it is essential that we clearly communicate our work to the general public. The new website will be central in that effort.

Read the Impact Story
Lisa Savoie constructed our non-profit's website, managed the launch, and provided documentation/training to ensure that my staff is equipped to maintain the website long-term. Throughout this process, Lisa exceeded our expectations. She is knowledgeable, yet also capable of communicating clearly with non-technical staff. She works efficiently; this project was completed well ahead of our anticipated launch date. She communicates clearly and regularly. Importantly, her work product is extremely high quality. But, perhaps even more importantly, the process itself was seamless and dare I say it... enjoyable!

This was a great project and I really enjoyed working with Heather Finnegan, the executive director of TCF. She was always organized, prepared, and able to make decisions quickly. She communicated clearly her expectations. And she was very pleasant! If you are considering working with TCF, I would absolutely recommend doing so. They are a great organization and very helpful to their community. Heather is a dream client. I would volunteer with them in a heartbeat.
