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 need an update for our 2019 programs, and make it more "active" looking. It's on Squarespace now (happy to keep it there, just don't want to lose URLS etc) We are so busy, doing important and fabulous things, and really need someone to help us. We are a grassroots enviro org fighting the bad fossil fuel guys. We are 2 fierce females: a graphic designer and film-maker duo and a tight family of volunteers.

What we have in place
  • We currently have saneenergy.org, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have google drive, Zoom & workaholic schedules, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to run an entire campaign to defeat the Williams NESE Pipeline, research and writing hours, provide training space, print materials, meeting and office space, transport to coastal communities to document

We have a lot of visitors to our site and need to make sure our visitors can have the most updated information to take action with us.

Our mission

Sane Energy Project is dedicated to a vision of a 100% renewable energy New York City and New York State. For that vision to become a reality, we need strong grassroots momentum that calls for a rethinking of our energy system from the bottom up – replacing the current drive to build shale gas infrastructure with a drive to build renewable infrastructure.

We work to build that momentum in three main areas: Awareness, Attitudes and ACTION!

I'd like to develop a plan/program for a way to deeply engage and organize our volunteer members to lead on campaigns, and build a fun system of accountability.

What we do

We have 2 main areas of programming with campaigns under them:
1. stop fracking infrastructure
2. build renewable energy with an eye toward low-moderate income inclusion.
We use a lot of art for outreach/education tools, and also engage in direct action and policy work.
