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

Hello: we are in need of some help with our Wordpress website.

We are looking to do the following:

1) Update all page content with newly developed content (prepared already). Will include updates to language on the website, as well as broader section editing.

2) Set up a volunteer management portal. We currently are using a Google Sites arrangement, but we want to bring this onto our own website.

3) Integrate Volunteer portal with CRM.

4) Update and Optimize

5) Thank you

What we have in place
  • We currently have people and content dedicated to project, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Time and attention, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to significantly extend our runway and leverage our resources for the benefit of our students.

We have a beautiful website that we want to take better advantage of with content updates, and we need to continue to enhance the functionality, and tighten the integration. I think these words make sense.
