In this article, I will teach you how to build a professional website for your nonprofit organization for less than $10/month!
Thousands of nonprofit organizations are created every day and just to build a professional and great looking Nonprofit Website will cost ~ 10k. As you might expect for most of the new NGO’s it means a lot of money. Why spend so much when you can save money and spend less than $10/m for a professional website?
1. So let’s start… with the Domain N
First of all, you need to pick the perfect domain name for your website and to come with a few names. Your domain name forms a critical part of your organization and your primary goal should always be to create a domain name that can boost organization’s value over time. It should be unique and short for ease of searching.
It can be the abbreviation of your organization name or simply the organization name. Also, I recommend using .org for your domain name.
Write a few examples on a piece of paper and be ready to check the availability in a few moments. It’s recommended to have all domains in order by priority. You can check all domain names as well and pick up the one you like most.
If you already have a domain name, you will be able to use or transfer it, no need to think about finding the domain name at this step.
