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

I want to get started very quickly with a single, landing-page type website.
Later, I will repost a project to update it to full content, but right now I simply want something that looks polished and pleasing, and allows people to:
Sign up for our newsletter
Donate
Contact us with questions

What we have in place
  • We currently have A logo and a color palette, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have A lot of enthusiasm!, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to Purchase all of the materials required to set up an entire classroom!

This project is important because we just started publishing a monthly newsletter, and people are reaching out about donating, etc. but we don't have a place to send them or a simple way to collect those donations.
