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 need to develop a new website through Wordpress, and we need to be trained on how to maintain it. Our staff is not tech-savvy, so we need someone who is patient and willing to work through all of our questions.

What we have in place
  • We currently have UX Plan and mockups of key pages, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have bought Wordpress, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,782 , allowing us to use funds devoted to administrative costs towards directly housing our disabled clients.

Currently, our website is not a good representation of our organization, nor is it intuitive for potential donors or clients. A new website would lend legitimacy to our organization, as well as create an avenue for donors to give. It would also streamline the process in which potential clients could get services.

What we do

Since 1991, HRC has prevented homelessness by providing direct services to low-income Hudson County residents.

HRC owns and manages a small affordable housing project in West New York. HRC also supports low-income, disabled clients and their families with tenant-based rental assistance, and provides HUD-approved rental housing counseling to low income Hudson County residents.

Amazing opportunity to support someone to help others. Talita and Ana were amazing during the process. The process was well defined, with UX and graphic designs ready to be implemented. My work was easy, I just make all their work visible to all. Thanks for this opportunity, Talita and Ana, the feeling to help others is amazing.
