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We have a thorough website but it is on a very outdated, unsupported platform. I would like to take most of the content and migrate it to create a fresh, easy-to-update website. We are very small non-profit (1 FT, 2 PT employees) with a small budget.
What we have in place
- We currently have a solid website, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an active domain name and web host, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $302,242 , allowing us to develop virtual programming and volunteer training. Due to COVID-19, we project that income sources will decrease by 30% this year; at the same time we must modify services for virtual delivery.
We provide literacy instruction to adults who struggle to read, write & communicate in English. Services are provided by a network of trained volunteers. We do not receive government funding: funding comes from active fundraising and grant writing. The website is critical to our ability to communicate services to students, recruit and support volunteers, enroll volunteers and students, and to educate and attract funders.

Our mission
The mission of Literacy Volunteers of Somerset County (LVSC) is to promote literacy throughout the community by providing student-centered tutoring and literacy programs for adults so that they may function more effectively in their daily lives. Our mission is founded on the belief that the ability to read and communicate in English is imperative to leading a productive and functional life, and is essential for the protection of individual freedom and equality of all people.
Testimonials
It was an honor to work with Crystal and the Lucid Fox team on such a rewarding project. Crystal is incredibly knowledgeable, detailed-oriented, organized, customer-focused, and reliable. She is also a creative problem solver and a pleasure to work with. The team listened closely to our needs and delivered a website that is easy to use, rich with information, user-friendly, and simple to update. We are thrilled with our new website and so grateful for our partnership with Crystal and Lucid Fox.
Working with Aimee and LVSC in general was an absolute delight! Their mission is one I can relate to personally, and I am thrilled to be able to help their mission along with UX research and a brand new site. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Aimee and Literacy Somerset; it has been a true pleasure and a very fulfilling project.
