GOAL OF SITEUNITED WAY OF THE BAY AREA
Create a robust and stable directory website in WordPress which will allow Tax Sites to post and edit their information (some private and some public).
Features:
• EKS administrators need to be able to download the database of sites (all information) in a spreadsheet. Ability to upload sites to the site in a spreadsheet format would be nice to have but not essential.
• When Tax Sites edit information there will need to be a prompt to send an email to an customizable array of administrators, based on which county the Tax Site resides in. The email will alert the administrator as to which fields have been edited.
