Read on to discover some tips and tools that can help you to build a successful website.

Custom Web Development

Whether you're redesigning your website or launching a new one for the first time, it is important that you consider several factors when selecting a platform or content management system (CMS) for building your website. Some of those factors include

Customization
Scalability
Security
Accessibility

Wix and WordPress are both successful platforms for nonprofits to consider when building a new site.

Wix

Nonprofits face unique challenges when it comes to creating a website. That's why we often recommend using Wix, a popular website builder that is easy to use and manage. Harnessing the knowledge we've gained by working with hundreds of nonprofits to develop their websites, we have created a range of templates, designed with nonprofit website best practices in mind.

Let TechSoup take the stress out of building your website by getting you started with everything your nonprofit needs to create a successful Wix website. We'll build your site and implement a best-practice high-converting theme that is customized to your organization's brand assets, content, and media.

Once we launch your site, you'll be able to easily manage and update it without any technical expertise. Wix is particularly suitable for small nonprofits looking for their first website or nonprofits looking to increase their awareness online without much technical background. However, it's important to note that Wix is best for straightforward sites with 5 to 10 pages and may have limitations when it comes to functionality and integrations. Nonetheless, it remains an attractive, affordable, and accessible option for those just starting out.

WordPress

With its unique ability to provide a powerful and customizable CMS with ease of use for the everyday user, it's no surprise that WordPress is the world's most popular CMS, accounting for about 41.3 percent of websites globally. WordPress website development is a great option for nonprofits that have outgrown their basic website and anticipate adding content as their organization continues to evolve.

By using the Growth-Driven Design methodology, TechSoup Website Services is your partner and guide to developing a customized and scalable solution for your organization's website. From design to functionality, we work with you to create a website that not only looks great but also meets your organization's needs today and as you grow.

Whether you're looking for a simple brochure site or something more complex such as an e-commerce platform or a membership management system, custom web development with WordPress offers flexibility, scalability, and complete control over your online presence.
