Website Set Up (CMS-Based)
Website Set Up (CMS-Based)
Project details
What we need
- Set up of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS) like Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly
- Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
- Note: We recommend that you do a Website Content Plan project first, so that you have all the content ready for your new CMS-based site. A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily - no coding required!
Additional details
Have icons, graphics, and presets through Canva. We just need a website expert to help us give our current website a makeover with the new marketing materials that we received.
What we have in place
- We currently have graphics, presets, icosn in Canva, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have more information and pictures on our Facebook and Instagram, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to offer more free art therapy sessions to the community, free group therapy to youth-at-risks children, and free artist workshops to the people of Worthington MN.
We had a team of design students from CSUN who helped us create a whole bunch of new marketing materials and we want to implement them on our social media posts as well as our website so it will look cohesive. Our website right now is not up to date and does not look visually pleasing.
Project plan
Our mission
Creative Healing Space, Incorporated was founded in 2019 to create an intentional safe space that utilizes art as a form of healing and community building.
We aim to serve students, women, families, immigrants, and youth in southwest Minnesota. Our programming echoes the themes of addressing and bringing awareness to mental health, education, and creative art. Our work is community led and community centered.
What we do
In 2019, our founder, Sureeporn Sompamitwong, brought this space to life with poetry nights, painting events, talent shows, and storytelling series. She curated a safe space for youth and Black and Brown community members, so they could gather and heal together through different artistic forms of expression. Creative Healing Space has since continued to build on the momentum we gained from community support, becoming a permanent resource in our community.
We continue to envision a space that provides workshops, events, and community groups for Black and Brown community members, LGBTQIA folks, and immigrant community members in Worthington and the surrounding area.
Over the course of a year, Creative Healing Space has provided a variety of different art programming for students, families, and young professionals in the Worthington community. We've hosted a range of art-related events, including open mic nights as well as sculpting and painting events, and we've recently hired an art therapist to lead our art therapy sessions.
In Worthington, Minnesota and many rural communities, there is a lack of investment in safe spaces and community-led organizations dedicated to equity and inclusivity. Creative Healing Space strives to invest in its rural communities. We are the only nonprofit founded and led by women of color in Worthington. We pride ourselves in having a diverse and inclusive team, Board of Directors, and following.
