I design websites for nonprofits and I always make sure the mission and the call to action are the main focus!<br /><br />http://nicodauterive.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24948423.post-26338433392552063262009-02-17T00:50:00.000-08:002009-02-17T00:50:00.000-08:00I recently wrote about the basic info that nonprof...I recently wrote about the basic info that nonprofits should have on their websites, and I can't believe I never thought of these - but you are absolutely right. The more open a nonprofit is about its operations, the more it will receive acceptance and support from the community.<BR/><BR/>About the email - I would like to give the benefit of the doubt and think that board members are trying to avoid spam, which is why they won't put their email addresses. No matter how much you try to cloak your email address or whatever spam protection you use, spammers still find a way to get to you. A catch-all email is a great idea too.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>Andie<BR/>http://blog.nonprofitwebsitesolution.comNonProfit Website Solutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348745742798414494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24948423.post-65906975445212953092009-01-12T14:25:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:25:00.000-08:00I agree completely regarding the lack of transpare...I agree completely regarding the lack of transparency but would argue that it applies to more than just non-profits. Unfortunately, many corporations also suffer from such a malady. <BR/><BR/>In addition to transparency, I would highlight that many nonprofit sites are not logically planned out using revenue generators as a basis. For instance, if your nonprofit generates most of its revenues from events, then be sure to have the events section prominently displayed. There should be a strategic logical order to the navigation structure of the nonprofit site. As a communication company that represents many nonprofits, I am always surprised to find lack of contact information and event information readily available on Web sites. I also have noted that many nonprofit sites are unclear regarding the works or accomplishments that they achieve. To view an example of a good nonprofit, foundation, please check out www.jsrfoundation.org.<BR/>This is a small foundation with a big, clear message.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer Lester, Officer, Philosophy Communication, Inc.Jennifer Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996375724329881891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24948423.post-69830676378069551222008-08-20T04:59:00.000-07:002008-08-20T04:59:00.000-07:00I have blogged about nonprofit websites myself, an...I have blogged about nonprofit websites myself, and yet I have found great information here that hadn't occurred to me before.
