Hey everyone,
I'm currently volunteering with the BC Children's Hospital and trying to help them increase donations through ads. However, we're facing a significant hurdle—their website is completely outdated. It was created by a student 6-7 years ago, and unfortunately, we don't have any developers or volunteers to support us right now.
The current site is here: bcchauxiliary.com
Given their very limited budget as a non-profit, I'm exploring options to update the site using a free WordPress template, just something that has a modern look so that I can transfer the text and images from the current website to a new template. (Please note – I have zero experience with the backend and no coding/web dev experience)
Has anyone here had experience with similar projects? Any recommendations for user-friendly, free WordPress templates or tips on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone has suggestions on improving the site’s structure or optimizing it for donations, I’m all ears.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: If anyone would like to volunteer long-term to help with website development and ongoing updates, feel free to message me, and I can connect you with the volunteer team!
If you’re new to WordPress, I recommend checking out some introductory tutorials on YouTube or the official WordPress documentation.
For themes, consider using Astra, OceanWP, or Hello Theme, as they are lightweight and user-friendly. If you run into any issues, don’t hesitate to post your questions here. Good luck with your project!
You can get it redeveloped on Elementor, let me know if you need my help.
Just curious as to what your roe is at the nonprofit? Just to be able to give you better direction as to how to proceed. The more information, the easier it is to give information. I looked at the site and it does look pretty dated. Looks pretty “interesting” on mobile devices.
