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 have an older html based website that is hard to update. We need help auditing the website and suggesting ways of updating content and look, OR updating to a new website completely. We do not have a budget for this so would need recommendations that can be implemented in-house.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a working website http://www.walcread.org/, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have new material we would like to incorporate., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to spend that money on operating costs and outreach to the community.

The website is one of our main ways of connecting to the community; for resources, volunteers, and funds.
