PT temp job at FOR: help us migrate our web site content

Content Management Specialist
part-time, temporary position

The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) is seeking an energetic, creative person to help transition to our new web site. As we migrate from static HTML to a database-driven content management system, we are in need of help managing and organizing our content.  Actual website design and development will be handled by a separate contractor.  This position reports directly to FOR’s Co-Director of Communications. This temporary position will be part time for approximately 2 to 4 months.  We expect the work to take a total of 20 to 40 hours.

This position will focus on these tasks:
  1. Catalog every page of the current static web site indicating title, categories, last update, location, and content.
  2. Provide input and advice for decisions about the technical and organizational migration of this content.  The bulk of migration will be automated.
  3. Systematically review content in new CMS and clean-up formatting and links where needed.

Minimum qualifications:
  • Familiarity with the web and using different types of web sites.
  • Comfort reading and editing standard HTML.
  • Basic understanding of web site navigation.
  • Comfort using Google Docs and/or standard Office software.
  • Your own computer with a dedicated internet connection.
  • Knowledge of Drupal or CSS is a plus.

Background:
FOR's main web site, FORUSA.org, is currently built with static HTML and Dreamweaver templates. Navigation has not been updated in at some time, and we suspect there are many gems lying relatively unknown and certainly underutilized among the thousands of images and HTML files on the site.  The current content of our website will need to be systematically surveyed and documented so that we can determine what to migrate and how to organize it on the new web site. We hope to work with a skilled intern or temporary worker to undertake this classification project.  The second major step will be migrating the content, which hopefully can be done in a partially-automated manner to save time.

Stipend: $10/hour. No benefits.

Start Date: ASAP. Position will remain open until filled.

Location: Flexible. Anywhere within 4 hours of the Eastern Standard Time zone is acceptable, however being located in central North Carolina would be a plus.

How to Apply: Please send a cover letter or resume, at least two URLs or HTML files showing your work, and three personal or professional references to communications+html@forpeace.net with the title "content management specialist" in the subject line.  Inquiries will be accepted by e-mail to the same address. No phone calls, please.
