This Month's Topic A great website can be one of the most effective methods of gaining traction for your organization; integrating all of your organization's information and events into one easy to read website can streamline user experience and in turn help your organization to grow. This month's Nonprofit Lunch and Learn talk will focus on Weebly, a free website builder that allows users to create easily digestible webpages without the technical experience you may have thought you needed. We'll workshop how to use Weebly's website tools in order to create a site that is specialized to your organization's needs and easy for users to read.
