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

We have the site sort of set up and the basics started in WordPress and we use Theme. But we got stuck and need someone with experience in this. We need an expert to clean up, help with making the content look better and someone who has a good eye for how to make the content wow our visitors. We will use the CSS to tie to our donor database, so we want to get that fixed and looking great.

What we have in place
  • We currently have the basics set up and it is running, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have graphics, content and other assets done, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to utilize our funding for leadership development for nonprofits and raise funding to get back into our community.

We are a volunteer organization that provides capacity building support to other nonprofits. We have to be an example of best practices. The website is key to our donors and the nonprofits we help.
