Website Technical Updates

Project details

What we need
  • Updates and/or fixes to Organization’s existing website (e.g., bug fixes, plugin or widget integration, etc.)
  • Training for up to 3 Organization staff members on how to resolve minor issues going forward (if applicable)
Additional details

Wordpress plugin updates, Switching a current calendar plugin to EventBrite, Updating Wordpress to match the PHP requirements needed for our host site, Dreamhost.

What we have in place
  • We currently have Wordpress and need up update., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Dreamhost., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,757 , allowing us to Keep our website up and running!

One - It'll improve our website functionality. Our website is our main source of communication with our constituents.

Two - We started using Eventbrite for our events and it's saved our staff tons of time, plus made signing up for workshops so much easier for our school gardeners. With the Eventbrite plug in, we won't have to duplicate creating an Eventbrite page and an event page for our calendar.
