Create a Comprehensive Articles Library
Create a collection of relevant, useful, original and interesting articles that
match with your nonprofit’s theme. The reader is looking for sharp, compelling
content that adds to his knowledge and insight, and serves some concrete purpose
for him. Your website is not just a place to advertise and promote your nonprofit’s
interests. The content must reflect your genuine desire to be useful to the
readers, rather than the other way round.
Provide Dynamic News Content
All the latest and relevant news related to the mission and purpose of your
nonprofit should be available at your website. The news content should be constantly
updated so that the reader finds new information every time he re-visits your
website. Integrating and RSS feed can help with SEO and encourage visitors to
return often.
Make Effective Use of Images, Audio and Video
A picture says more than a thousand words. A great image on your homepage or
a captivating photo gallery can seize the imagination of the reader, and draw
his interest to explore the website further. You have to be careful of the copyright
laws while using pictures. But there are plenty of creative images available
for free online which you can use for your website. Similarly, audio and video
content on your website can impress your visitors about your professional presentation,
and give them more than they are expecting. Furthermore, even from an SEO perspective,
websites that are rich in terms of multimedia content get picked up more easily
by the search engines.
Blogging Section for your Website
Blogging has become a hugely popular way to add freshness and new content everyday
to your website. A blog can be effectively incorporated in your website, and
you can use it as your personal mouthpiece and voice your opinions on relevant
issues. Blogs invite comments from the visitors as well, and it allows the creation
of a more interactive website that gives its readers a chance to have their
say.
User’s Section or a Discussion Forum
To make your website more participative, you can keep a provision for readers
to submit their original content to be published in a dedicated section on your
website. Giving due credit to the writers, you can generate a good amount of
insightful content for your website. The best part is that users’ inputs
help to look at issues from a variety of perspectives, and not just your own.
Instead of a one-man-show, your website becomes richer and more democratic in
its content value. Alternatively, if the theme of your non-profit allows for
discussions on various issues, or if you have the time to moderate discussions,
you may create a discussion forum on your website, inviting readers’ views.
With constant attention to the quality of content at your website, you can
create a strong image for your nonprofit on the World Wide Web.
