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 are in the middle of redesigning our website and want to find the ideal person to construct our beautiful new website once it's done.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a design, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have our current 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 subsidize costs for youth and community organizations with limited funds to witness our speakers, programs, and gain access to our resources and network

Our website connects us to the communities we work with, and is often what they interact with most to access our programs. This will help bring our visions to life in a more effective way, and to help our organization thrive.
