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 already have: a domain (wordpress), website wireframes (need some adjusting), copy to upload to the site, photoshop files from our graphic designer that we'd like to use as the backdrop/design for the site, and a number of resources we would like to upload.

    We also have a number of other resources (i.e., maps of our areas of work) that we would like to use, but that would need to be refined.

    Finally, we have identified the staff who update the website following its construction.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to increase the grants we make to our grassroots partners. For many of these organizations, Synergia is the largest source of income for their work.

While Synergia is playing leading roles in its areas of work, the organization's strategy is to promote the presence and voices of our grassroots partners - as they should be considered the leaders of their respective human rights movements. At the same time, this limits our donors' and partners' understanding of the extent to which our work is catalyzing human rights achievements. A website would significantly reduce the time we invest in educating others about our impact.
