Website
A program website keeps you in touch with your grant applicants, grant awardees, and the general public. Although it may seem daunting to start and run an entire website, rest assured that it is not nearly as difficult as it sounds. We have a model website on which you can base your project website, and we can direct you to incredibly easy-to-learn, easy-to-use website builders. Depending on your comfort level with computers and websites, you can explore builders such as Weebly, Strikingly, Jimdo, Wix, Moonfruit, WordPress, and more. The easiest website builder, in my opinion, is Weebly, the builder that I used to create this entire website in about one work day (text written in advance). Weebly has an incredibly intuitive interface that involves dragging and dropping elements onto the page, working far more like PowerPoint than anything else. For example, if you want to add a photo onto your website, you simply drag the icon that says “Image” from the Weebly building sidebar to the location on the website that you want to see that image, then click on the box that says “Upload Image” in order to upload your image. If you want to edit the image or add a caption, simply click on the image to see your options. Easy enough, right?
Additionally, all of the website builders listed above have an option that allows you to have a free sub-domain (example.weebly.com, example.strinkingly.com, etc.) with a large number of editing options and website templates available. Unless you want to purchase your own independent domain (example.com) or you want to have more advanced editing options, you won’t have to pay a cent for your website. If you want those extra options, you can choose to pay monthly for these options.
We have set up our Carmel Green Teen Micro-Grant Program model website to contain the pages that we see as important. You may add or delete pages to your own website as you see fit, according to your program’s needs. Have fun with it, and be sure to oversee your Website and Documents Committee as they start up and maintain the website.
If you are confused about editing your webpage, we highly recommend searching your website builder’s online support center. If you still have questions remaining, you can contact us. Please know that none of us are expert website builders or coders. We have just played around with the website builders and used their online support to create what you see as your template, but we will do our very best to help you.
