An effective website is one that is well designed, informative and easy for you, your staff or your volunteers to update without any technical skills. Content management systems like Joomla! and Wordpress can easily and cost-effectively provide a website solution that enables you to master your own website for little or no cost. Both these online publishing systems are free and open source content management systems (CMS) that are fully extensible. You'll be able to add more functions such as online shopping carts, online registration forms, surveys, event calendars, forums and online forms, as your organization grows and the value of your website increases. And, best of all, both these systems are easy to update and maintain with a minimum of effort and instruction with no need for technical support once the website is built. 
Whether you need original text, images and multimedia content produced for your new website and/or content salvaged from your old website and refreshed for your new website, we can help. We start off with an online meeting during which we define the project requirements. After our meeting, we send you an estimate for how much time your project might likely take. From there together we decide our next steps and the information we need from you to complete your project. Our fees are $95 / hour or $250 for each 3 hours of work. Typically a website content development project takes between 6 to 15 hours.Feedback from others...
"I have taken numerous workshops with Marilyn over the past three years and have contracted her media release distribution services for the same length of time to great success. This year we also contracted her to rebuild our current website into a content management system so that I, as the Executive Director and only staff member, could update it myself..."

“Thank you Marilyn for helping us with the AAWA website. Starting a new website is a daunting task and can lead to some confusion on where to start and what to do. Thanks to your help we have hit the ground running with the new website. By showing us how to maintain our own website and edit content ourselves, we are able to maintain our site better, faster and for a far lower cost..."Read more about what Mike from the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association had to say about this experience...
"I would definitely recommend this tutorial to anyone who wants to learn how to publish professional looking electronic newsletters. I really enjoyed the opportunity to work one-on-one with Marilyn. I learned so much about how to design and distribute an enewsletter! Marilyn was able to answer every question I had and walk me through the publishing to distribution process and beyond, step-by-step to make sure I understood." ~ Shannon Werbicki, Central Alberta Manager, Kidsport Alberta
"Whitemud Equine contracted with Marilyn earlier this year to help us rebuild our website and help us create an enewsletter program. The response to our enewsletter has been fantastic and it has grown from 100 subscribers to over 600 in just six months! Writing and publishing the enewsletter has been incredibly easy since Marilyn provided the template and great advice as to regular content and continuity. The website development is also getting great reviews and Marilyn is excellent at providing trouble-shooting and advice. She is also very aware of the latest applications and technologies which have really helped to make our website serve our membership. As a non-profit organization where time and money is always in short supply, I am happy that I can finally maintain the website and the enewsletter in-house. Any changes, news items, etc take just a few minutes and Marilyn is always on the other end of the phone if I need help." ~ Diane David, Administrative Director, Whitemud Equine Learning Centre
"I attended two workshops led by Marilyn Jones: Optimizing Media Releases and Social Media Relations. Marilyn is a dynamic facilitator and instructor who not only knows her subject thoroughly but can communicate it well and understandably no matter what the background and experience of the participant. In addition, Marilyn delivers more than promised and one such gem was hearing about Joomla at the workshop, which inspired me to create my own website using Joomla after hearing Marilyn's story's about its strength, ease of use and suitability. Anyone considering learning more about all of the potential within the world of internet media, social networking and marketing and how to make it work for them should not hesitate to sign up for her workshops." ~ Brian Scott Marketing, Technology & Research Director, Communitas, Edmonton
