Open Source CMS 30 Second Evaluation
over 61 million sites are built on WordPress, primarily a publishing platform
If you’re technical, Drupal can do just about anything, challenging for non-technical people to customize and manage
Specifically built for nonprofits, out of the box functionality, “new kid” on the open source block.
Great for largely content-focused websites, limited customizations and extended functionality.
Use a Content Management System (CMS)
Save Time with Content Templates
Predefined fields and templates make it
easier to control how content is added.

Responsive Content DesignContent Structure depends on how
“deep” into the site a visitor is.
Homepage is the “Menu” of Options
Internal Pages offer substance

Speak Differently to Your Audience than Everyone else to rise above the noise
Collaborate to get your content written - engage and ask your supporters to help you
Keep your plan flexible and be willing to adjust based on your audience’s feedback and your NPO’s resources
