Website Technical Updates

Project details

What we need
  • Updates and/or fixes to Organization’s existing website (e.g., bug fixes, plugin or widget integration, etc.)
  • Training for up to 3 Organization staff members on how to resolve minor issues going forward (if applicable)
Additional details

IEA is looking for a partner to update our current website. Currently, IEA's website is built on WordPress, but the theme we are currently using is not compatible with WordPress updates. We are currently 14 months behind on major WordPress and plugin updates. We are looking to migrate our website off our Envato Child theme to a new WordPress theme, compatible with current updates and onto a theme that will be more manageable to update on a consistent basis.

What we have in place
  • We currently have upgraded WP Engine to an enterprise level, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a Marketing and Communications Coordinator, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,757 , allowing us to serve more students and provide better online resources for our families.

The updates to the website will assist IEA in delivering educational content to increase awareness of the needs of gifted youth and the services available to them, drive constituents to IEA for access to the services the organization provides and attract potential funders and individual donors to engage their financial support.
