Web development · for charities and nonprofit organisations ยท by Jason King
I gave this presentation on 18th July at WordCamp in Manchester, UK. It assesses how suitable WordPress can be for small nonprofit organisations and gives advice on working and volunteering in the voluntary sector.
TeamPB is a website jointly run by The Prostate Cancer Charity and Breast Cancer Care. They provided the visual design and I made it all work in WordPress. It’s a blog, but also invaluable for recruiting new runners via online forms.
This new Association needed a website to promote their organisation, sign up members and advertises their conference and other events. I designed their website and built it using WordPress. The site has three complex membership forms which we set up to send data directly to their online client database, Salesforce.
I designed the cover and inlay for my Dad’s woodturning DVD. A quick and simple task, especially since he was able to provide a selection of eye-catching photos to choose from. The artwork was sent to the company printing the DVDs, following their guidelines on dimensions and quality.
I built this website — Dementia Friendly Environments — for the Department of Health. The site was built to follow Australian government guidelines on accessibility, and uses the corporate branding of Victorian goverment websites.
TGV Design are a branding and marketing communications company, with an impressive portfolio of design work. They recently commissioned me to build their new website in WordPress. The TGV website has very few static pages; apart from a blog, its main feature is a portfolio of their work with galleries of images for each of their clients.
The RSA Comment commissioned me to build a website where you can read opinion pieces, watch topical videos, comment on them and even submit your own writing. The site carefully follows the corporate branding of the RSA. It uses WordPress as its underlying CMS, has a complex home page layout and multiple columns on all pages.
Great slides! Didn’t know about the Google Grant at all, have to check on that when I get proper site live. As now it’s just one page (which I originally did for a contest, but decided that I could just go down the whole nine yards with this one, and make the proper site), and as I understood you have to have some sort of proper organization to get the Grant?
After all, it’s time for web developers to start doing their part too.
