Website Building
My goal is to help you choose, build, and use Internet tools that make it easier for you to get your good work done. Your website is a communication tool and it should be as easy as possible for you to keep its content fresh. This doesn’t mean a new site has to be overly complex or out of financial reach. From design and information architecture to code, from social media strategy to training, I will help ensure that your Internet tools serve you and your mission.
- Overview of the website building process
- Content Management System (CMS) choice; I specialize in Drupal
- CMS customization and template/theme building
- Close collaboration with designers, developers, and staff
- Training for staff on your new or updated site
- Resources for ongoing support after launch
I like to do what I do best and let other specialists shine. When a project calls for something at which I don’t excel, I have a national network of talented colleagues to pull into almost any type of web project.
Technology Strategy Consulting
My job is to listen to your organizational needs and create a thoughtful strategy using only the technology you need to get your good work done. I will help you create a holistic plan to seamlessly integrate Internet tools into your mission work to increase constituent engagement and make things run more smoothly and efficiently.
Technology decision-making can feel like an overwhelming and confusing task. Lingo and unfamiliar terms are alienating; sometimes techies seem like a big clique that want to keep the rest of us out. I can help translate tech-ese into plain English to ensure your organization is on the road to technology health.
