Project details

What we need
  • Updates and/or fixes to the Organization’s existing website (e.g., update copy or images, fix bugs, integrate plugins or widgets, customize styles/themes, etc.)
  • Training for the Organization's staff on how to update website content and resolve minor issues (if applicable)
Additional details

I would like to make it easy to add news, videos and photos and have it displayed in an attractive format. I would also like to change the scholarship application interface if possible.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a contact to work on the project, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a resource to respond quickly, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $12,802 , allowing us to We are a small organization. We have no administrative staff. Our work is done by volunteers so the funds raised go to provide scholarships. This project will help us offer more scholarships.

When I founded Island Scholars in 2014 I envisioned providing financial support to two students each year. Today we have 41 students. The need is far greater than I expected. We need a site that can engage donors and scholarship recipients.

Testimonials

It was truly a pleasure working with Vandana. She did not initially have all of the knowledge required to complete the project but she assured me that she would quickly acquire the necessary skills and she expressed a genuine interest in helping my organization. She worked hard her to learn the additional technical skills and was very responsive to my requests. The project is successfully completed and it has resulted in a significant enhancements to my website. The scholarship application process is now much more user-friendly. It has exceeded my expectations. In addition, Vandana was very helpful in teaching me how to manage the application she created and how to update information on the website. I am very grateful for the work Vandana has done. Excellent job. Significant savings for my organization.
