Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
What we have in place
  • We already have a domain and a skeleton of what we are looking for.
    Components of the website to include:
    - Header
    o image, donate button, social media buttons, search bar, phone number
    - Slideshow
    o Images, buttons
    - Audience (buttons)
    - Impact
    o Background image
    o Impact boxes
    - Calendar
    o Event listings
    ? Event pages

    We want to launch by Aug-Sept.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to pay for meals which we provide to LGBTQ youth daily, Monday-Friday which may be their only meal of the day.

Hetrick-Martin Institute: New Jersey is a non-profit, LGBTQ youth-serving organization. Our national location is located in NYC and our website currently lives on their page, but we are ready to make the next step and have our own. This will enable us to distinguish ourselves from the NYC site and engage more local supporters. The website is www.hmi.org ; our page is www.hmi.org/newjersey
