Web Design Patterns for Nonprofits

posted on February 11, 2019

Speaker: Brigit Pauli-Haack – We’ve read a lot of “Trends” articles and listicles at the beginning of 2019. If we are honest, the basics have not changed between 2017, 2018 or 2019. So let’s talk about the Website Design Patterns. What is it you and your organization would need to work on to better reach your constituents and supporters? How can you make online donations easier on mobile devices? How can more people learn about your organization, your cause and your events?

We revisit how the basic online interactions change depending on device, speed and goals.

Birgit Pauli-Haack, co-founder of NPTechProjects, will lead a discussion among attendee nonprofits about storytelling and donor experiences. Amid the cacophony of the internet noise, how can your organization reach the next level and stay relevant to supporters, donors and ambassadors.

Enter the country where every page is a landing page, every post has a call to action, and every story is told in multimedia.

Turn Your Data into Insights and Your Insights into Stories

posted on February 21, 2018

Nonprofit organizations are run by passionate and dedicated individuals who often do not have the time or resources to dive into and analyze data that help them communicate to their constituents. Often these organizations have a wealth of data, but a lack of resources in which to analyze and communicate their insights gleaned with that data. This session will explore using available free tools to analyze and visualize data to share your stories.
