Upcoming: “Creating a Website for Your Nonprofit”

I’ll be teaching a few courses in the CCAC’s Nonprofit Academy program this Spring. The first will be “Creating a Website for Your Nonprofit.”

This 3-hour course is designed to bring the Nonprofit organization into the world of technology by creating or updating an existing website for the organization. Student will learn various options in creating a website – the pros and cons of an in-house set up or contracting someone to create and run the site depending on budget..

This is an introductory level course for someone who is starting a website for a nonprofit organization, or perhaps taking over the role of managing a website for the first time. (Much of the information would be useful to someone in business as well.)

It’s a three hour workshop, and we’ll be as hands-on as possible. The goal will be to give you an understanding of what steps and resources are needed to create and maintain a website. By the end of the session, you’ll know what your next steps should be and how to get started.

When: Wednesday, April 6, 6-9pm
Where: CCAC Allegheny Campus
Fee: $75
Course section: XGM-716-58701
