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 are looking to set up a squarespace website for a new umbrella initiative supporting liberation movement media in Chicago and beyond.

What we have in place
  • We currently have language for the different spheres of the organization, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a deck detailing the whole project, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to fairly compensate a roster of community organizers and media makers to continue building original content.

AirGo has been in funding and partnership conversations to build Respair, a new organization that will enable movement media to thrive. However, as we head into fundraising and grant processes, we need a central site that makes clear the scope and context of the project. We are excited to see this work we've been building spelled out clearly on a beautiful website.
