sr.christinaosf Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I have been doing our web-page for several years now for the assisted living-type home where I work: www.stannesguesthome.org . I recently made a few little changes to it and asked feedback from some people. One person reinforced a suspicion I already had; it is a bit dated in its style. She suggested asking the local community/tech. college if they would like to do it for a student project; I am exploring that option. I have one hesitation with that, though. I do not know if I will be able to continue updating it with new pictures, information, calendars, etc. if I don't have the program they do it in. I thought I would ask here and see if any of you are really into web design and would be interested in the challenge of re-vamping the site to make it more contemporary looking. One thing is, in our favor, that our audience is not meant to be young people - it is largely geared toward older folks (40+) who are looking for a living center for themselves or a parent, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Have you considered using Wordpress and just choosing one of the thousands of pre-made themes available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr.christinaosf Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I use WordPress for blogging...The thing is that we already have our domain name and web-hosting through a place that offers them free for non-profits. If we did Wordpress, we'd have to pay for our unique domain name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr.christinaosf Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yes - I just found out that we can install WordPress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, just choose from thousands of available themes: https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress Another positive is that any Wordpress theme created within the last few years should also be "responsive" or mobile phone compatible.
