Nonprofit organizations can learn easy, free web publishing tools in a Feb. 24 webinar, “Wordpress for Nonprofits: No Resources, No Problem.” The event, hosted by ReadyTalk.com, starts at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific).
Wordpress is a free, powerful and easy-to-use web publishing platform. Presenters Don Cambpell, CEO of Expand2Web.com and Dennis Yu, CEO of BlitzLocal.com, have helped numerous nonprofits and small businesses set up attractive, effective sites that are easily found by search engines. Presenters will offer a free Wordpress template (known as a theme) to webinar participants.
Wordpress has advantages to small enterprises because it’s free and it easily incorporates community connections, Facebook integration, blogging, email marketing into the site structure.
The webinar is free and open to any nonprofit or organization using social media platforms and interested in using Wordpress to improve their marketing efforts. Advance registration is required and can be made by clicking ReadyTalk's Web Seminar Series link right here.
Nonprofits interested in the topic but unable to join the session, are encouraged to register to receive a recording of the event.
