Across large swaths of civil society, even in parts of the developing world, websites are the public face of an organization. The Web is a powerful medium that often disappoints, if only because its potential is so great. Very few websites do what they could to build and leverage relationships with donors, volunteers, and other stakeholders. Many are impaired by common mistakes and most don’t achieve clearly defined objectives. Over the course of two weeks and two seminar sessions, we will help you:
- identify and fix your website’s most damaging mistakes
- identify and build upon your website’s greatest strengths
- get structured feedback from other nonprofit professionals who produce websites
- create your own practical methodology and checklist for website improvement
- develop both short term and long term improvement plans
This seminar, despite being online, will offer collaborative, hands-on analysis of your website, leveraging the insights of both students and instructor. This seminar is right for you if you’re looking for practical improvements to your website and a framework for continued betterment.
