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!)
What we have in place
  • We'd like to do a major remodel of our legal news site, subscriptlaw.com.

    We currently use Squarespace, and we want to switch to WordPress, to get more customization and faster loading.

    We have a mockup of the homepage and will provide mocks of other pages as we get going.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to create more legal content for the site

We want to become a one-stop-shop for Supreme Court reporting and also drive traffic to our legal web design services.
