WordPress for Nonprofits

WordPress is a popular and powerful content management system that can do much more than just create blog posts – with more than 50,000 plugins, the choices can be overwhelming. Its popularity also means WordPress sites are more prone to cybersecurity attacks: in 2018, WordPress accounted for 90% of all hacked CMS sites. 

Plugins work like smartphone apps that expand your website’s capabilities, including making it more interactive, connecting to Google Analytics, encourage users to subscribe to your newsletter, or make it more secure.

Learn how to supercharge your nonprofit’s WordPress website in our 2 hour workshop, where we’ll cover: 

• 
  

  How to choose the right plugins (including recommendations for some of our trusted favorites)

  
  


• 
  

  Securing your site against malicious attacks

  
  


• 
  

  Backups and recovery

  
  

We’ll be tackling these topics using live demos attendees are welcome to bring their laptops and follow along as we go. 

Note: Nonprofits that are already using WordPress will benefit the most from this session since we will not be covering the basics of installing & configuring a brand new WordPress site. No coding experience needed.
