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

Hi There - We're looking for help setting up a website for a specific event that we have coming up -- pretty simple web page overall, we're just short on time and expertise to get this built from scratch.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a content plan, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have enthusiastic staff and cool idea, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to put more funding directly to our students and programs.

In the age of COVID, raising funding for our work is harder than ever. This unique event will hopefully make a difference for our nonprofit (and several others locally) but we need a strong web presence to help make it all work!
