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

Please contact Susan Scheuer at [email protected] or 210.321
5630 for expanded details.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a fully scoped description (contact [email protected]), which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have existing content, 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 housing services to those in need at this critical time, as people more people than ever are being forced to the streets in this pandemic.

An update website will allow us to better communicate how people can access help, as well as stronger CTAs to guide and engage donors.
