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 currently using WIX (www.hopestrong.org) and are looking to use the same/similar design, but on a CMS.

What we have in place
  • We currently have access to the current website, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have photos and videos, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to utilize those resources to start 3 new after school programs for fall 2020.

Having a CMS website would provide our students with the access they need to find the resources and sign up for events on a quick and user friendly process, both on a computer and a mobile device. It would also allow us to be easily accessible to our national audience as we are expanding our footprint to additional states.
