Project Overview

We are looking for someone fluent in WordPress to update our website. We would like you to suggest simple ways to update the site without going through a complete re-do, and we need what we believe to be a bunch of easy changes:
- update a link that comes in when you Google us. It says "decorative point," and we need your expertise to fix it.
- add a popup for collecting name and email address to build our list
- update our site to include "where your donation goes"
- Add a page for Climate Resiliency artwork and show us how to populate it with children's artwork
- Change the dated picture on our home page
- Link us to the other half of our social enterprise.

After that is done, we would love your ideas on how we can update our site by making some simple changes. We are not looking for a re-brand or a long-term project. We are seeking some quick fixes.

We look lame, and we need someone to dopify our site! While we love our brand colors, we have not done a good job keeping up with the site, as no one on our staff of 1 knows WordPress very well. We think it has good bones, and it needs some updates. We are not looking for a BIG overhaul - just some high-impact changes throughout. If you would like to add to your portfolio and help struggling youth at the same time, then please apply. We can't wait to hear your ideas and see the magic.

We have gone through the site and noted what we would like changed. We will ask the board for their feedback as well prior to the project. As the updates do not include launching a new website, there is no real implementation plan. The changes can be made while the site is up and updated simultaneously.
