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 launching a consortium camp in the Summer or 2021 with four Long Island-based JCCs (non-profits). And we need help developing a website that our staff can manage content creation for once it's completed. Camp websites that we're hoping to mirror from a layout perspective include: http://www.camptwelvetrails.org/

Thank you in advance!

What we have in place
  • We currently have a domain, staff member, and ideas of audience and content, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have ability to sign up for a CMS, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to invest in new programs, equipment and features to help get our camp off the ground.

In launching a new camp we would like a website to help us garner attention and excitement around the new product, which is combining great resources from several organizations under one umbrella program.
