Web development · for charities and nonprofit organisations · by Jason King
Geographical domain names, for example www.nameoftown.vic.au, are being offered to Australian nonprofit and community organisations. The domains are issued solely for the purpose of operating a comunity website developed for the benefit of the entire local community.
Baptcare was recently awarded a Google Grant, free publicity that has doubled our website traffic. Using that Grant we’ve created adverts to promote our nonprofit organisation’s vacancies and seen a big rise in the number of job applications we’ve received. Maybe you could do the same for your website’s job ads.
An Intranet is like a website except that it’s only available to people working within the organisation. It’s used to share information internally rather than to publicly promote the organisation’s services. I redesigned Baptcare’s Intranet home page. I also set up Intranets for nonprofit organisations using WordPress.
Did you know that Melbourne has the biggest Greek population outside of Greece? That’s why I was commissioned to design the Greek Care website by Fronditha, a charity in Victoria, Australia. The website, which launched this week, provides information and advice about the care of elderly Greek people.
The Change Management Group is a business consultancy that’s based in the UK but has an international reach. I built their website in WordPress using the Striking premium theme, and the resulting website is a great improvement over their previous site.
The Ectopic Pregnancy raises awareness of ectopic pregnancies amongst women of childbearing age, the medical profession and the general public. Their website is a vital tool for providing information and enabling those affected by this medical condition to share their own experiences. The site underwent a complete redesign in 2010 and now uses the WordPress content management system. Staff at the Trust can easily update their own pages and publish news on the website.
I was commissioned to build a campaign website for Breast Cancer Care. Images created in Photoshop were provided, which had been created by a graphic design company. My job was to take these pictures and use them to build a functioning website using WordPress, with a form to enable visitors to leave messages of support, and prominent links with social networking websites.
