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

Need a website created for after school program "Lockport Spokes". Just had a logo created and I am currently working with someone on getting the content plan finished which will be ready to be handed over very soon. The most important part of the website will be the calendar of events for the different programs offered.

Will need to have a domain name figured out very soon just for promotional purposes.

Thank you!

What we have in place
  • We currently just have a facebook page but have had a new logo created and I am currently finalizing the content plan with another volunteer.

    One of the big aspects of the site will be the calendar to show what will be offered each day for the kids. We also have partners we have teamed up with to offer this program so a page to list them with links to their organization as well.

    Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to Provide a program to local youth for after school including free ice skating, exercise with an on site trainer, mentor services, games, and snacks.

We are trying to get the word out about this program, once we have a website created it will get placed in a local app that will allow kids to be able to easily find us. It may also help us get more organizations involved.
