Website Construction (CMS-Based)
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!)
Additional details
We're looking for an expert to rebuild a Squarespace website. Our existing site was built years ago before our programs expanded. We need a site that shows the public, potential donors, and audience members the depth, beautify, and importance of our work. We completed a website audit (amazing Catchafire volunteer) and visual branding (another amazing Catchafire volunteer.) We need an expert to redesign a stunning site for us that shows the world loud and clear who we are and what we do.
What we have in place
- We currently have a branding guide, logo, beautiful photos, video, and copy, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a current website, social media, lots of enthusiasm, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to divert all of our resources into community arts & wellness programs for children, adults, and seniors that often have barriers to access.
We are doing beautiful impactful work in the community, but our visual branding often prevents folks from understanding the depth of what we are doing. A more comprehensive website will open the doors for new donors, bigger audiences, and the ability to impact more under-resourced children, adults, and seniors with uplifting, self-empowering and joyful arts and wellness programs.
Project plan
Our mission
Grown Women Dance Collective creates cross-cultural, generational, and class connections, encouraging dialogue, empowering thought and action, and building racial harmony through concert dance and wellness programs. In a positive and nurturing environment, mature dancers challenge the stereotypes of aging, create artistic work that is relevant and accessible to diverse and underserved audiences, promote mind and body healing through health and fitness programs, and create economic opportunities for young people.
What we do
Arts & Wellness for Social Justice
1) World-class dance concerts that teach and celebrate Black history; celebrating resistence, resilience, self-empowerment and joy.
2) Free community arts & wellness classes: Dance, Dance with Literacy (Black history and African American poetry), Pilates for Back & Joint Pain, Fall Prevention for Seniors
3) Pilates & Joyful Movement Life Skills Certification- creates audacious movement leaders in under resourced communities that bring arts, pain prevention, fall prevention, nutrition, financial literacy, and well paying careers into their own communities.
Testimonials
Arielle is AMAZING!!! She's super knowlegable, creative, patient beyond words, incredibly hard working, and passionate about her work. She took our existing site and completely rebuilt it, creating a stunningly beautiful representation of who we are. I can not say enough good things about Arielle. My instinct was she was the "right person" to do this work, and what she brought was above and beyond what I thought was possible. I am very, very thankful for all that she's done for us. This is a game changer and I am incredibly appreciative!
