Website Refresh and WordPress Support

The EPIC Foundation is seeking a WordPress expert to refresh and optimize our existing website to better serve our community of chronic illness warriors. As a virtual-first organization, our website is our 'front door' and a lifeline for those who are homebound or bedridden.

We need a volunteer to focus on the following key areas over a 2-12 week period:

1. Site Audit: Review the current 'extensive' site structure and suggest improvements for navigation and user experience.
2. Homepage & Navigation Refresh: Update the layout and menu structure to make resources easier to find.
3. Content Updates: Assist in updating approximately 5-10 key pages with refreshed copy and images (provided by our team).
4. Plugin & Theme Optimization: Ensure the site is running efficiently and is mobile-friendly.

I often say that I started The EPIC Foundation with a laptop and a dream. When the organization was incorporated, I was mostly bedridden myself. We are not a brick and mortar nonprofit, and our work is not limited to four walls. Because of this, our website is essential.

Many of the people who seek our support cannot easily leave their beds or homes. Our website is how people empower themselves, connect with other chronic illness warriors, validate their experiences, and feel heard. It is often their first and most important connection to us.

Our organization runs on 100% volunteerism, including my position. We are made up of fellow chronic illness warriors helping others like ourselves. I am a brain tumor survivor who currently lives with a life‑threatening illness, and that lived experience informs everything we do.

This is a fully virtual opportunity to help update and improve an existing WordPress website that plays a critical role in our mission. The site is dated simply because updates have been difficult to manage, and support from a skilled volunteer would make a meaningful difference.
