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 looking to create a webpage on our website for farmers and brands that want to apply for Regenerative Organic Certified. Ideally this will be an online form that allows applicants to free form answer questions, check boxes that apply, and upload files/documents. We currently use WordPress to host and manage our site.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website in WordPress, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have support from our communications consultant, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,757 , allowing us to hire on a full-time, remote specialized certification and compliance manager to review and process applications. These funds will help support full benefits for that employee.

We are currently building out a platform to host and manage all our certification data. Simultaneously, we need to build out an online application for farms and brands to apply for Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC). This online form will have multiple data entry types (check boxes, short answer, numbers, etc.) and we would also like the ability to upload multiple documents. This online application form is critical to opening up certification to the general public and beginning ROC audits.
