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

This is what The Forum is in need of!

What we have in place
  • We have the following:
    - Promotional material: Photographs of events as well as Video Material
    - Season 2019-2020
    - A budget for the website hosting
    - Information of past seasons
    - Organizational information
    - Our goals for the next couple of years
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to 1. Keeping the workshops of our artist accessible for all students and community members (free); 2. Keeping the admission fee for students only $5 and children under the age of 12 free.

- To be more visible for the people on the USVI, but also for Tourists who are visiting our Island
- By being visible we can assure people know more about the Forum and attack more people to our events
- It will help in attracting younger people to the Forum

Our mission

The Forum's mission is to provide audiences on St. Thomas with the opportunity to experience live, high-quality programs featuring music, theater, film, dance and literature. These productions would not be possible without the support of the Forum.
To help underwrite its presentations the Forum relies on donations from individuals and corporations, foundation grants, and the time, energy, expertise and financial commitment of its Board of Directors.
