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

Looking to replace our outdated site with a new one. We work with people with disabilities, so need simple, clean, easy to read, easy to navigate. UX experience would be helpful to us. I'm new to CMS, but I don't think (?) we need a lot of customization. A site I like that I've been modeling my new sitemapping on is cci.org. Thank you for your consideration!

What we have in place
  • We currently have content and sitemapping, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have ,, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $20,842 , allowing us to train more service dogs!

Current website is outdated, not secure, and I question whether the programmers are maintaining it. That's making it difficult to arrange the navigation. Users are confused. Our website makes us look like we don't know what we're doing.
