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 a website hosted by Bluehost. They provide good support, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a very committed and dedicated person, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,752 , allowing us to We need to engage our students and donors. This will help tremendously with fundraising.

I am looking for a volunteer with Wordpress experience to help me update my current website www.islandscholars.org, especially the scholarship application process. I would also like to add a blog, photos and videos area where students can post thieir experiences. I would also like to engage donors.
