A website is a place to share information about your mission, collect donations, and solicit support through volunteering and other ways. For many nonprofits, cost is an issue when it comes to building and running a website, which is why more than half turn to WordPress for their site.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress is an open-source content management system used by major corporations and government agencies.

The code is accessible to everyone, so anyone can use or modify WordPress software for free.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress is based on themes and modules. Essentially, when you use WordPress, you pick a theme - or how you want your website to look. You can then customize your website using plugins. For example, if you want to add an option to translate content into different languages, you can add a plugin for that feature.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are thousands of themes and plugins, both free and paid. The quality of each piece of coding can vary, so it is important to only download themes and plugins from trusted sources with good reviews.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile it initially started as a blogging platform, this software can now be used to build any type of website. This includes everything from eCommerce stores to business websites to membership sites to nonprofit websites.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress is the most popular CMS worldwide, including for nonprofits. According to a recent survey, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.nptechforgood.com\/2021\/03\/31\/data-11-must-know-stats-about-nonprofit-websites\/\u0022\u003E60% of nonprofits in the United States use WordPress for their websites\u003C\/a\u003E. With numbers like these, you might be wondering: Should I use WordPress for my nonprofit website?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EBenefits of Using WordPress for Your Nonprofit Website\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are many reasons why nonprofits tend to prefer a CMS like WordPress. It is easy to use and manage, cost-effective, and customizable. Below, we break down some of the top benefits of using WordPress.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Is User-Friendly\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress started as a way for anyone\u2014regardless of their coding experience - to start a blog. It isn\u2019t surprising that it remains an incredibly easy-to-use CMS.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBuilding a WordPress website is fairly simple. Depending on the complexity of your website, you might even be able to build a basic site on your own. It starts with choosing from one of thousands of themes, which provide the framework for the site and how it looks. You can then select plugins for particular features, like contact forms.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce the site is up and running, you can manage it all through the administrative dashboard. Your staff will be able to upload new content - such as information about fundraisers or blog posts - edit or add pages, and more. The simplicity of the administrative dashboard is a key benefit, as many nonprofits don\u2019t have a dedicated IT team to assist them with the day-to-day running of the website.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Is Cost-Effective\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost nonprofits don\u2019t have a huge budget when it comes to things like websites. That is another reason why WordPress is so attractive. The \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\u0022\u003Eopen-source version\u003C\/a\u003E is free to use. You can then customize your website with free or low-cost themes and plug-ins.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause WordPress is so popular, getting support for your website at a good price is relatively easy. There are also plenty of tutorials available online, which can make running a WordPress website far more affordable over time.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Can Be Customized\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress has tens of thousands of plugins available - both free and paid. Plugins are little snippets of code that will add a particular feature to your website. For example, if you want to be able to accept donations to support your mission, you can download a plugin to accept both one-time and recurring payments.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause WordPress is open-source, anyone can develop and contribute plugins to its store. As a result, you can almost always find a plugin to enhance and customize your website in whatever way you want. However, you should be careful about the plugins that you download to make sure that they are high quality. You should also regularly update your plugins to maintain security.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Is Mobile-Friendly\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost people look at websites on their phones or tablets. For this reason, your nonprofit website should be optimized for mobile. If it isn\u2019t, then a visitor might come to your website to learn about volunteering - and then get discouraged and scroll away if they have a hard time learning about the requirements or filling out an application.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost WordPress themes and plugins are designed to be mobile responsive. This means that it is fairly easy to create a beautiful website that looks great and is easy to navigate from a smartphone and\/or tablet.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EDownsides of WordPress for Nonprofits\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOf course, every CMS has its drawbacks - and that includes WordPress. While the platform is popular, it isn\u2019t the right choice for every nonprofit. Here are some reasons why WordPress might not be the best CMS for your organization.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ESite Updates and Maintenance\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of WordPress\u0027s features is that it is open-source. This can also create some issues because anyone can contribute themes and plugins. When you install themes and plugins, you will have to make sure that you properly maintain your site.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis primarily means that you will have to regularly update your site to maintain both its health and security. Unfortunately, the updates aren\u2019t always straightforward. For example, you might have to revert back to a prior version of WordPress if the update causes issues with your site. For this reason, you may need to hire a WordPress developer to do ongoing \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.inclind.com\/services\/wordpress-websites\u0022\u003EWordPress website support and maintenance\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ESpeed Issues\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress websites are somewhat notorious for speed issues. When you add themes and plugins to your site, they may have unnecessary code that can increase loading time significantly. If people visit your nonprofit website and it takes forever to load, they may simply leave the site rather than wait.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt is possible to pick less \u201cbulky\u201d themes and plugins if you have some WordPress knowledge. You can also run some diagnostics to determine what exactly is slowing down your site - and then fix it. As with updates, this may require some tech knowledge to fix speed issues properly without impacting your site.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EPotential Security Issues\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBeing an open-source CMS, WordPress is more vulnerable to cyber attacks than a proprietary CMS. This is particularly true if your nonprofit isn\u2019t staying on top of updates and if you pick themes and plugins that aren\u2019t necessarily high quality.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo avoid the potential for a hack, it is important to carefully read reviews before installing any theme or plugin on your site. You should also make sure that your site and all of its components are regularly updated. These are the best ways to protect against cyber threats and keep your nonprofit site\u2014and its data\u2014secure.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ECost for More Complex Sites\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA basic WordPress website can be relatively inexpensive to build and maintain. However, if you want a more involved site, it will cost you. Generally, the more customized and flexible your site is, the more expensive it will be to build. It will also often require more money devoted to site maintenance.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOf course, even a more complex WordPress website will typically cost far less than a website built with a proprietary CMS. However, you should be mindful of your budget when building your site because it can be easy to go over budget when adding features if you aren\u2019t careful.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EWork with Inclind on Your Nonprofit Website\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAn open-source CMS like WordPress makes it easy to build a beautiful website chock full of great features. It is particularly great for nonprofits, as you can build a website that is easy to use and doesn\u2019t cost a ton to create or maintain.

For many nonprofits, cost is an issue when it comes to building and running a website, which is why more than half turn to WordPress for their site.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress is an open-source content management system used by major corporations and government agencies. It is known for being relatively easy to use, low-cost, and customizable. However, you will need to update the site regularly and address issues like speed and performance.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EInclind works with \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.inclind.com\/clients\/non-profit-organizations\u0022\u003Enonprofit organizations\u003C\/a\u003E nationwide to help them design, develop, and maintain their websites using WordPress and other popular CMS.

The code is accessible to everyone, so anyone can use or modify WordPress software for free.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress is based on themes and modules. Essentially, when you use WordPress, you pick a theme - or how you want your website to look. You can then customize your website using plugins. For example, if you want to add an option to translate content into different languages, you can add a plugin for that feature.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are thousands of themes and plugins, both free and paid. The quality of each piece of coding can vary, so it is important to only download themes and plugins from trusted sources with good reviews.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile it initially started as a blogging platform, this software can now be used to build any type of website. This includes everything from eCommerce stores to business websites to membership sites to nonprofit websites.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress is the most popular CMS worldwide, including for nonprofits. According to a recent survey, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.nptechforgood.com\/2021\/03\/31\/data-11-must-know-stats-about-nonprofit-websites\/\u0022\u003E60% of nonprofits in the United States use WordPress for their websites\u003C\/a\u003E. With numbers like these, you might be wondering: Should I use WordPress for my nonprofit website?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EBenefits of Using WordPress for Your Nonprofit Website\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere are many reasons why nonprofits tend to prefer a CMS like WordPress. It is easy to use and manage, cost-effective, and customizable. Below, we break down some of the top benefits of using WordPress.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Is User-Friendly\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress started as a way for anyone\u2014regardless of their coding experience - to start a blog. It isn\u2019t surprising that it remains an incredibly easy-to-use CMS.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBuilding a WordPress website is fairly simple. Depending on the complexity of your website, you might even be able to build a basic site on your own. It starts with choosing from one of thousands of themes, which provide the framework for the site and how it looks. You can then select plugins for particular features, like contact forms.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce the site is up and running, you can manage it all through the administrative dashboard. Your staff will be able to upload new content - such as information about fundraisers or blog posts - edit or add pages, and more. The simplicity of the administrative dashboard is a key benefit, as many nonprofits don\u2019t have a dedicated IT team to assist them with the day-to-day running of the website.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Is Cost-Effective\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost nonprofits don\u2019t have a huge budget when it comes to things like websites. That is another reason why WordPress is so attractive. The \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\u0022\u003Eopen-source version\u003C\/a\u003E is free to use. You can then customize your website with free or low-cost themes and plug-ins.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause WordPress is so popular, getting support for your website at a good price is relatively easy. There are also plenty of tutorials available online, which can make running a WordPress website far more affordable over time.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Can Be Customized\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress has tens of thousands of plugins available - both free and paid. Plugins are little snippets of code that will add a particular feature to your website. For example, if you want to be able to accept donations to support your mission, you can download a plugin to accept both one-time and recurring payments.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause WordPress is open-source, anyone can develop and contribute plugins to its store. As a result, you can almost always find a plugin to enhance and customize your website in whatever way you want. However, you should be careful about the plugins that you download to make sure that they are high quality. You should also regularly update your plugins to maintain security.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWordPress Is Mobile-Friendly\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost people look at websites on their phones or tablets. For this reason, your nonprofit website should be optimized for mobile. If it isn\u2019t, then a visitor might come to your website to learn about volunteering - and then get discouraged and scroll away if they have a hard time learning about the requirements or filling out an application.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost WordPress themes and plugins are designed to be mobile responsive. This means that it is fairly easy to create a beautiful website that looks great and is easy to navigate from a smartphone and\/or tablet.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EDownsides of WordPress for Nonprofits\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOf course, every CMS has its drawbacks - and that includes WordPress. While the platform is popular, it isn\u2019t the right choice for every nonprofit. Here are some reasons why WordPress might not be the best CMS for your organization.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ESite Updates and Maintenance\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of WordPress\u0027s features is that it is open-source. This can also create some issues because anyone can contribute themes and plugins. When you install themes and plugins, you will have to make sure that you properly maintain your site.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis primarily means that you will have to regularly update your site to maintain both its health and security. Unfortunately, the updates aren\u2019t always straightforward. For example, you might have to revert back to a prior version of WordPress if the update causes issues with your site. For this reason, you may need to hire a WordPress developer to do ongoing \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.inclind.com\/services\/wordpress-websites\u0022\u003EWordPress website support and maintenance\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ESpeed Issues\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWordPress websites are somewhat notorious for speed issues. When you add themes and plugins to your site, they may have unnecessary code that can increase loading time significantly. If people visit your nonprofit website and it takes forever to load, they may simply leave the site rather than wait.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt is possible to pick less \u201cbulky\u201d themes and plugins if you have some WordPress knowledge. You can also run some diagnostics to determine what exactly is slowing down your site - and then fix it. As with updates, this may require some tech knowledge to fix speed issues properly without impacting your site.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EPotential Security Issues\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBeing an open-source CMS, WordPress is more vulnerable to cyber attacks than a proprietary CMS. This is particularly true if your nonprofit isn\u2019t staying on top of updates and if you pick themes and plugins that aren\u2019t necessarily high quality.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo avoid the potential for a hack, it is important to carefully read reviews before installing any theme or plugin on your site. You should also make sure that your site and all of its components are regularly updated. These are the best ways to protect against cyber threats and keep your nonprofit site\u2014and its data\u2014secure.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ECost for More Complex Sites\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA basic WordPress website can be relatively inexpensive to build and maintain. However, if you want a more involved site, it will cost you. Generally, the more customized and flexible your site is, the more expensive it will be to build. It will also often require more money devoted to site maintenance.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOf course, even a more complex WordPress website will typically cost far less than a website built with a proprietary CMS. However, you should be mindful of your budget when building your site because it can be easy to go over budget when adding features if you aren\u2019t careful.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EWork with Inclind on Your Nonprofit Website\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAn open-source CMS like WordPress makes it easy to build a beautiful website chock full of great features. It is particularly great for nonprofits, as you can build a website that is easy to use and doesn\u2019t cost a ton to create or maintain. However, you should be aware that while WordPress is pretty user-friendly, you will likely need some tech knowledge or assistance to maintain your website properly.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EInclind is a collaboration of award-winning website designers and developers who combine our skills and knowledge with CMS like WordPress to help our clients build the best possible websites for their needs.
