The Workshop’s New Media Manager Demetrio Maguigad led a training at this year’s Making Media Connections conference to teach nonprofits how to build strong websites in WordPress. The Gate, a community newspaper in Back of the Yards, attended the training, and the new website they built in WordPress is already up! It looks professional, features great visuals on the home page, and easily links to their social media accounts.

WordPress is a powerful, flexible tool that nonprofits can afford. The Workshop’s main website and our blogs have also been built by Maguigad using WordPress. Although I’m not a website expert, I personally can attest to how simple it is to update a WordPress site with new posts like this one.

If you’re interested in building your own WordPress website or blog for your organization, give us a call. In addition to our conference and our regularly scheduled trainings, we offer a number of affordable custom trainings that we tailor to suit your nonprofit’s needs. Email me or call 312-369-6400. Your new website could be easier to produce (and thousands of dollars cheaper) than you think. We hope to hear from you soon.
