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 currently have a website that needs an updated look and more of a user friendly layout.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an active website, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have materials and photos to add to it, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $14,410 , allowing us to continue operating while minimizing the marketing expenses. Being a non-profit we would not even be able to do this project without a volunteer service! THANK YOU!

We are always trying to connect with current and potential donors and grant applicants/recipients to best be stewards of the Waseca Area Foundations mission to providing resources to the Waseca County Area. Currently our website is not as complete and/or easy to navigate to find the information an outside audience may be looking for. Websites are a major tool in marketing and we are excited to enhance this portion of our marketing plan!
