The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization. The ACLU dares to create a more perfect union – beyond one person, party or side. Our mission is to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all and expand the reach of its guarantees. Officially nonpartisan, the ACLU has been supported and criticized by liberal and conservative organizations alike.

The ACLU of Colorado is an affiliate of the national ACLU, and it is the state's guardian of freedom, working in the courts, in the legislature, and in communities across the state to protect and advance civil rights and civil liberties for all. Founded in 1952, ACLU of Colorado is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfilling the promise of equal justice under the law for all Coloradans.

Project Overview

The ACLU of Colorado is working to ensure the design and formatting of all its website pages on aclu-co.org are consistent and align with its website template and brand guidance. This project comes after the migration of ACLU of Colorado’s website to a new content management system (CMS), and recent updates to its website template built in WordPress.

The Digital Content Editor (vendor) will use the existing CMS and media library to edit components on the website pages within the scope of this project. The vendor will need to identify which pages contain components that are not aligned with the website template and add, remove, or edit the necessary components to ensure they are consistent with the desired design and format.

The vendor will ensure that all the website pages in scope are easily navigable for users and can be accessed through available website navigation options.
