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 currently have an amazing new website designer who has redesigned our site, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have our current site on word press and an enthusiastic new Exec. Director, 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 high level psychological assessments for our children with mental health challenges.

Since 1982, LifeTies has been serving the most vulnerable youth chronically ill youth (Lupus, Diabetes, HIV), pregnant teens, LGBTQ+ youth or behaviorally challenged youth involved in the foster care system. We need to 1) increase our visibility throughout the state as we look to diversify our funding, 2) make the website more visual to pull at people's heartstrings, 3) describe the meaningful work we do 4) we need to recruit volunteers via our website to become mentors for our youth and 5) recruit direct service workers via our website who are hard to retain but critical for our work.
