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 are a medium sized non-profit with a very small staff. Our website was developed many years ago and left with no support. I taught myself to update (a little bit) but it needs a complete overhaul. It is a WordPress platform. I will need the ability to update it frequently. I have little tech knowledge but am easily trained.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a WordPress website with a lot of info on it., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated employee for this project, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to provide more direct service to our clients and serve healthy, nutritious meals to our homeless population.

Increasing our agency's impact in our community and our ability to provide more support (food, renal assist, utility assist, housing support) to the fast growing needs. Increase donations, funding, volunteer support, and social profile.
