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

UMBA is looking to migrate our Squarespace website to the WordPress platform in addition to a website refresh. We would love to work with a web developer with a UX background who can help move this project forward!
Our existing site is umbagoblue.org.

What we have in place
  • We currently have website assets, branding guidelines and design resources, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have copy for the web pages, some images,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to reinvest the dollars into local chapter programs and scholarships.

We'll be better equipped to lead alumni outreach for the University and help manage life long relationships. UMBA will soon launch its annual award nomination and fundraising campaigns which will drive traffic to our website. We want the updated website to enhance the overall user experience which translates into a more engaged community and improved fundraising efforts.
