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 seeking expert assistance launching a small-scale campaign-specific website, ideally in WordPress. Primary desired outcomes include professional appearance, easily-accessible education materials and background information, and the mutually exclusive ability to join a mailing list and to make a donation.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a wealth of technical data concerning the wide range of impacts slaughterhouse and factory farms incite on the local environment and communities. Our campaign lead is also a technical expert in the subject matter and able to communicate directly with a designer in terms of framing issues, presentation, salient local topics, etc.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to allocate those monies towards a matching-grant opportunity to potentially hire a new staff member and thereby increase our organization's lacking communications and outreach capacities.

Without an easily-accessible, coherent, and professional online webpage to serve as a "clearinghouse" for information and action-opportunties concerning our campaign the public dialogue remains fragmented, and many otherwise concerned members of the public feel disconnected and powerless to speak up to protect their communities, Montana outdoors, and values.
