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

The Venice Heritage Foundation has an existing Wordpress site, but we would like to move the information over to a Squarespace site that we hope will be more modern and easier for us to update.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a Wordpress site, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated board members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to move forward with the first phase of our business plan - purchasing the railroad car that will house our museum.

Our Wordpress site is sadly out of date, and we lack the ability to edit it. These days, a good website is essential for any organization and must be kept current. This project will give us the ability to keep our website current (ourselves) and present our mission to the world!
