Strafford Nutrition Meals on Wheels Receives Donated Web Site

SOMERSWORTH, N.H., March 26, 2010 – Strafford Nutrition Meals on Wheels has launched a new Web site donated as part of Danconia Media's grant program specifically geared toward Granite State nonprofits and charities.

mealsonwheelswebThe site – located at www.straffordmealsonwheels.org – was built using a highly user-friendly, open-source content management system (CMS) that the organization can now use to maintain it in-house. The design was headed by Danconia's Becky Gallant, who made sure the site's content would be easy for elderly visitors with poor vision to read and navigate.

Using the site, visitors can find information about Strafford Nutrition's services, eligibility requirements, volunteer opportunities, news, fundraisers, upcoming events, and even donate to the organization directly. Before the site launch, the organization did not have its own Web site. The nonprofit received its first online donation the same day the site was launched.

“It didn't matter if it was by phone or e-mail, they were there for guidance, building a wonderful site easy for seniors to maneuver,” Laurie Eastwood, Strafford Nutrition's nutrition coordinator, said. “With the help of their great staff, we are now able to reach out to people, receive donations online and let them know about our services that they or a family member might need.”
In today's world, it's essential for every nonprofit and charitable organization to have a strong web presence. Unfortunately, many nonprofits and charities lack the resources to launch efficient web initiatives on their own and don't have enough funding to outsource them. As a result, too many organizations struggle recruiting volunteers and soliciting donations online because their sites are not up to par with Web 2.0 standards.
