Josh,
      Much needed! I feel we should go for it!
     I like the phase approach.

Very respectfully,

While the simplicity of our site is nice, it’s not conducive to telling the story of the importance of the work we do. For example, right now, we have no way to show a video on the home page or have a scrolling social feed.

The nice thing about Kody’s proposal is that we can do this in phases - start with the home page, the mission page and the pillars page ($6,900) and then, later this year or next, build out the remaining templates/pages. Because this is a purely BBF thing, I don’t think we can write it in to the SO budget. Let me know your thoughts.
