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 a new website - I have some files that were started from a previous designer that did not complete. I have the template I'd like to follow (see www.woodcraftrangers.org) but need to build the files and implement.

What we have in place
  • We currently have some web files already started, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have copywriting and images, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to this would go to our non-negotiable costs that we have to fundraise for each year including rent, salaries, insurance, and audit fees.

We have had a major security breach with the website (it is Drupal) and are looking to update to WordPress with a user friendly CMS system. This will enable us to save money in the future on having to hire someone to make updates.
