Drupal for Nonprofits

celebrating our 5th anniversary 10K Webdesign How Drupal helps non-proﬁts meet their goals

Why Drupal? • Open source content management system • Offers many community-building features: blogs, mapping, reviews, comments, “tracking” • Highly extensible -- many available modules to extend functionality “out-of-the-box” • Multiple levels of user interaction / user permissions • Secure, stable, supported by large community

Ideas on using the Web • Use existing tools • Understand how to use your website to support your organization’s goals: + What do you want to accomplish? + What is your objective? + How will you measure your success? • Design - change the way your content displays • Functionality - mix and match from pre-built tools

Questions to Ask • Who is your market? Who visits your website? • What do you offer? What sets you apart? • Why does your organization matter? • How do you make a difference? • Donations, involvement, community-building, and transparency: does your organization have a plan?

Planning for Success • We’ve reﬁned our process on how to approach your project. • The typical design-build-installation process depends on the complexity you need. • A complex website takes us ~120 hours to fulﬁll. • Increase your community’s engagement with your organization. • Make it easy. Make it simple. Make it effective. Years in business: 5 • 10K Webdesign by the numbers: Staff: 8 Websites encoded: 200+
