Website Construction (CMS-Based)
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
Project entails migrating content from an existing website (researchfororganizing.org) onto a new WordPress site. Our current site was built with a 2009 version CMS MadeSimple (version 1.6.6) which uses PHP 5.6. The code is outdated and incompatible with the latest and most secure version of PHP used by our current web hosting company, DreamHost, causing web hosting problems. Moving the content will resolve those problems, and to give us the benefit of a site that we can maintain on our own.
What we have in place
- We have existing website content to be migrated to a new site. We are not asking for any new content creation, but rather for assistance moving our existing content.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to support community-based organizations in conducting participatory action research to win their organizing campaigns, and develop leadership for members of the community.
This website is a cornerstone of our work with community-based organizations. It is used not only by our partner groups, but by other community organizations nation wide, and even internationally. Supporting this project enables us to continue to make our participatory action research tools widely accessible to community groups.
