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 looking for someone who has experience in web design and understands the psychology and science of layout/design for optimal results.
We are looking for a wordpress site for one of our program which will be available for organizations to purchase. It would include things such as a landing page with an overview of the program, how the program works, explanations of next steps and such depending on the user's role, contact info, etc.

What we have in place
  • We currently have content written or being written right now, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a platform developer who is providing input, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to dedicate funds back to providing strong programming for middle and high school students.

This project is SO important to us!
Our Discover You program is a high impact educational program that provides students the skills they need to thrive. For our nonprofit, Discover You also is our model for sustainability. While we are working with other to complete different portions of this rollout, the website will be the customer or "interested party" 's first look, so it needs to be polished and professional.
