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

Our nonprofit is moving our weebly website to WordPress. We have a user-ability audit that we would like to follow. We also have examples of other websites for ideas for the theme.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website and are just moving things over to WordPress, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a user ability audit that we can follow, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to educate and attract volunteers with ease.

The updated website will help our donors, volunteers, and partnerships be able to locate everything needed with the new website.
