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 previously had a website and it was getting maintained. The person who maintained it has moved and is no longer available, we have no access and we are hoping to construct a new website for our non profit organization.
What we have in place
- We currently have photos, and an ideas for our new website, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have someone who can learn and upkeep the maintance of website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to conduct other programs and services and also help renovate the technology in our center.
We would like for our local community to know about us and to promote our events and fundraisers for funding. This would be helpful for seniors.

Our mission
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life of seniors to ensure their equal access to social, economic and political systems in a safe, nurturing and secure environment.
The role that the seniors play in human service, leadership, education and as the keepers of our history is invaluable to the community. It is important that they are recognized and respected by the community.
The East Palo Alto Senior Center provides services and activities that foster independence which promotes the quality of life for Seniors.
