WordPress Web Sites for Charities
Over the past couple of weeks a lot of you might have noticed that I’ve put a lot of recent work into building websites and web tools for charitable organizations, charities, children’s charities and not for profits. There’s a few reasons for that. First, last December during the Christmas season I offered to donate my time to charities in return for links to my website. I had a wonderful response to that proposition and spent most of January working with organizations who deserved great websites but lacked huge budgets.
Some of the websites your support helped included the Stan Cassidy Foundation and the Fredericton Meals on Wheels, both wonderful programs which have benefited from your contributions.
I’d love to make 2009 a year that I can help make more of a difference for community groups, charities and not-for-profits but just like everybody else, I have to worry about keeping the lights on here at the office so if your company knows of a community focussed group you’d like to sponsor, I would love to help build a great web presence for your group at a heavily discounted rate.
In the mean time, my website has a great WordPress plugin for charities which features a fund raising thermometer you’re welcome to download and use for free. There are also at least ten great WordPress themes, all free for you to download and use for charities.
Do you want to help a local community group? Everyday I talk to wonderful designers, illustrators and web developers who are looking to help.
