Your Website

Website Options to Consider (Static and Dynamic)

(these are but a few examples)

• Program Details – Elaborate on program specifics, such as how to apply (including an application form), guidelines, history and accomplishments. [View example]
• Volunteer Opportunities – Listing of volunteer positions, along with a sign-up form. A Volunteer Profiles section is a nice touch. [View example]
• Employment- One of the best ways to meet your organization’s employment needs and increase traffic to the web site is through the use of an Employment Page. [View example]
• Key Accomplishments – Identify the major accomplishments in a brief summary, then expand on them where appropriate.
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – A great resource for visitors to your site who may feel awkward or shy to ask questions, and for staff who find themselves responding to the same questions over and over. [View example]
• Privacy Statement – This outlines your organization’s policy on the disposition of information shared between you and the organization. [View example]
• Online Newsletter – Your organization’s newsletter can be viewed and archived on-line. [View example]
• Mailing List Form – This gives people the option of receiving notifications about a new newsletter, program or event. Just like your organization’s traditional mailing list, this is often key to the organization’s sustainability and marketing potential. [View example]
• Resources – Links to other agencies and sources of information that furthers the mission of the organization. (Link exchanges increases SEO potential) [View example]
• Weblog – A Weblog (blog) provides a place to post time-dated content such as articles, news columns — whatever you wish others to read and have the opportunity to comment on (available within the WordPress platform) [View example]
• News, Facebook, Twitter Feeds & More – Our content management system (CMS) websites can employ such features as live news feeds, secured access pages, dynamic calendars and a whole range of other interactive components unavailable to traditional, static, websites. Below are but a few options.
