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

We have Squarespace.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website domain and brand assets, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a website vision and eager volunteer ready to help, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to buy more helmets and bikes for our riders and provide training to our volunteer coaches.

We need help designing our website! Our program - Girls in Gear - has taken off since we started it last year. We want to design a designated website to showcase our work, hold our press coverage, and showcase it to potential sponsors/grantmakers. Ideally, the website has integrates our registration platform and fundraising platform in a way that's easy to navigate and eye-catching.

Testimonials

I am so immensely grateful for Jessica for bringing our website dreams to life! From day one, she brought equal parts enthusiasm and expertise to this project. You would never know Jessica was working as a volunteer across the Atlantic Ocean because her work was timely, professional, and on-brand with our organization. Despite the distance, Jessica so perfectly captured the vibe of our program and translated it to an eye-popping website that will surely go far in helping us grow. I cannot stress enough for much I appreciate Jessica sharing her talents with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
