This document discusses how a non-profit organization called SOL Media uses WordPress to power multiple websites that support its mission of fighting human sex trafficking. It recommends choosing a professional WordPress theme, using popular plugins for SEO, newsletters, and other functions. While WordPress may not achieve the final 10% of customization needs, it is effective for getting 90% of the job done in an easy and cost-effective way. The document advocates focusing on the majority that can be accomplished with WordPress rather than getting stuck on the remaining custom portions.
