WordPress Website Refresh and Parent Portal Integration for YEA

We are looking for a skilled WordPress developer to refresh our existing website and streamline our enrollment process. Youth Education Academy (YEA) is a startup nonprofit after-school program, and our current site needs a structural and visual update to better serve our families and attract supporters.

Our Current Setup:
-Platform is WordPress (Self-hosted)
-Enrollment System is EZChildTrack

The Goal:
We want to move from a basic "brochure" site to a functional hub that is both Parent-Friendly and Donor-Friendly.

Key Deliverables:
Restructure & Refresh: Reorganize the site map to ensure our program offerings (STEAM, tutoring, summer camp) are easy to find. Update existing pages with new text and high-quality images.

EZChildTrack Integration:
-Add a clear "Apply Now" call-to-action that links directly to our EZChildTrack parent portal. We need help ensuring this transition feels seamless for parents.

Inquiry & Lead Capture:
-Build a custom inquiry/contact form for families who aren't ready to apply yet but want more information.

Donor Optimization:
-Create a dedicated "Impact" or "Support Us" section that clearly displays our mission and provides an easy path for donations.

Organization Goals:
-A professional, easy-to-navigate website is critical for our growth. By integrating our EZChildTrack system directly into a polished WordPress site, we will reduce administrative friction for parents and build the credibility needed to secure funding from individual donors and grantmakers.

Volunteer Requirements:
-Proficiency in WordPress (experience with page builders like Elementor or Divi is a plus).
-Experience with UX/UI design focused on conversion (getting parents to apply and donors to give).
-Ability to handle basic third-party integrations (linking/embedding EZChildTrack).
-Strong communication skills to collaborate on site architecture and content placement.

An updated, easy-to-maintain website with inquiry and application forms will make it simpler for families to learn about and apply to Youth Education Academy programs, helping inspire curiosity, expand access to STEAM and tutoring, and support students in achieving academic and life success.

Details will be provided during volunteer interviews. We will collaborate closely with the volunteer, share current content and photos, and provide timely feedback and decision-making so the delivered site is ready for regular updates.
