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 in the process of updating our website. We have purchased a theme

What we have in place
  • We currently have purchased website theme, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a staff member with intermediate knowledge of wordpress, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to focus on directing funding directly towards literacy programming.

With the recent COVID-19 pandemic it is so important that our website can handle digital interfacing. Currently, our website is not built to do this. We would like to have a site that can handle video, training pages, and resource libraries for tutors and coaches.
