Flexible Web Development Support
Project details
What we need
- Ongoing web development support for 10-15 hours over the course of 4 weeks
- Support may include: website maintenance, updates or improvements
- Note: We devised this project to connect nonprofits and volunteers for more flexible, more immediate impact. We strongly suggest you start with 4 weeks and decide from there if you'd like to continue working.
Additional details
We need assistance improving the format of new virtual content posted on our website. We have uploaded a blog page with links to a few youtube videos and a new podcast series but could use help with the layout on SquareSpace.
What we have in place
- We currently have added 2 podcast episodes to our site, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have 3 youtube videos uploaded, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,757 , allowing us to plant more floating gardens filled with native plants in the Chicago River.
This project will help our organization share new virtual content created to stay connected and engage our network during COVID-19 restrictions.

Reid was really helpful in getting our volunteer sign ups streamlined both on our website and by helping customize a scheduling tool for us to use for volunteer events in the future, I highly recommend working with Reid for any web improvements. He also gave our organization a complete website evaluation with helpful information about how people are using our site and ways to improve it. Very professional and communicative. Thank you Reid!
