It has become more apparent in the digital age for any company or organization must have a web presence. Some non-profit 501 entities feel their organization is too small, lacks funding, or is not significant enough to have or even need a website. The primary problem of not having a website is that your message is very limited to an offline audience and in many cases expensive methods of advertising. Without the reinforcement, if a website, those that you interact with can easily forget about your organization and the lack of this necessity may hinder your mission and the goals that you work so hard to support. Websites for non-profit organizations provide you with the results below:

1. Your goal and mission being heard by a broader audience
2. Connects you with your members and your current audience
3. Raising funds for entity’s operations
4. Providing email addresses that reflect your organization’s name
5. Sharing legal notices and note about organizational changes
6. Coordinating gatherings and important meetings
7. Sharing pictures of your charity events and locations of happenings
8. Providing useful information and forms to download
9. Increasing credibility of your entity
10. Providing places to interact such as chat rooms or forums
11. Sharing future plans for growth of your non-profit
12. Sharing your organizational structure and board members
13. Providing associations with other organizations
14. Sharing bylaws and policies that affect your members
15. Posting job positions and their status for fulfillment

We have had a great year by building websites and adding many clients to the web hosting platform. Many of the clients that we have designed websites for are non-profit organizations (NPOs). We enjoy working with non-profits because they always have a very worthy cause. Many of the organizations protect the rights of children, help families in need, and provide health resources for the community. We were one of the sponsors for the 2013 National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI Nebraska) Walks. What we found is that working with non-profits requires an understanding of budget limitations, goals of the organization, and building an alliance where a project can be completed promptly. (more…)
