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 are deploying a Multi-website Wordpress instance on Azure.
Looking for volunteers with interest in technology and experience with Wordpress capabilities to help us with this deployment and development of subsequent pages.

What We Have In Place
  • We currently have a Wordpress site implemented on AWS, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a Tech team to help with tech questions, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How This Will Help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to provide instruction to an additional 150 students.

Having a dynamic WordPress site as the face of the organization if key to our success. Integrating it dynamically with other information would be transformational for us.
