Web development · for charities and nonprofit organisations · by Jason King
Making Links is a nonprofit technology conference that took place in Melbourne in mid November 2009. They held an additional Intensive Web Developers Day and I ran one of the sessions, on the topic of getting your nonprofit’s website noticed. Here’s the presentation to accompany the workshop.
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.
