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

Our organization's website is a template on Weebly. Unfortunately, Weebly has informed us that the template we are using will be discontinued and will not be supported for much longer, so we are needing to redesign our website.

What we have in place
  • All of our information is already on our website - we just need it reformatted in a new template that is supported by Weebly.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to reach a wider audience.

This project will help us reach our audience to inform them of our resources. It gives us the platform to connect with future patients and donors. We use our website to communicate important information and to serve as an educational tool for clients.
