We at Fiona Web Goddess are aware that non-profit organizations do not always have the time nor resources to be able to spend the money in trying to generate interest in their causes. You must use your scarce resources to provide the services for which your organization was founded.
More and more non-profits are finding it useful to have a web site.
And, it is not only the Fortune 500 companies with multimillion dollar
advertising budgets that take advantage of web advertising. So, what is
so important in creating a business home page for a non-profit organization?
Let's list a few:
- As resources are scarce, non-profit organizations need to find low
cost ways to do things. A Web Page is less costly than most types of advertising.
- Non-profit organizations must find new ways to generate interest in
their causes. The internet is "surfed" by million of people daily
-- many of them locally.
- Non-profit organizations must show potential funders what they are
about. Most funding organizations are connected to the web. These funders
also get a good feeling when you thank them on your web page which is there
for the whole world to see!
- Non-profit organizations rely on volunteers. Many potential volunteers
(including virtually all college students) are "on the net."
Also, spotlighting a "volunteer of the month" on the Web Page
can generate much good-will!
- Many non-profits rely on citizen donations (both cash and in-kind donations).
Posting your organization "wish list" on the web can be a good
way of finding these needed donations.
How can Fiona Web Goddess help with your organization web pages?
- We understand the needs of non-profits. We are active with non-profit
organizations in the local community and are committed to taking this burden
off their shoulders.
- We understand that non-profit organizations do not have corporate budgets.
We are therefore committed to providing web page design services at a substantial
discount (up to 40% discount for qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit
organizations).
- We understand that designing a web site for a non-profit is very different
than designing a personal web site. The things that you find cute, or humorous,
or clever on your kid's personal web site you will find irritating, childish,
and amateurish on a non-profit web site.
- We understand that designing a web site for a non-profit is very different
than designing a business web site. Your site needs to have less of a business
feel and touch people personally. The addition of a "guest book"
for example is often a good idea for non-profit web sites but not for commercial
web sites.
- We understand that it is important to design pages that load quickly
otherwise the site visitor will get impatient and "surf" somewhere
else.
- There are "free sites" available where you can post your
web site that are not always available to commercial businesses. Also,
Fiona Web Goddess has some of the lowest cost virtual web sites
available for those organizations that need bigger sites, free from commercial
advertising, with domain names and email addresses which will be easier
to remember and unique to your organization.
Feel free to contact us today and see how
inexpensive a web site can be for your non-profit organization!
