WordPress Training for Nonprofit Teams
Give your nonprofit team the skills they need to be successful
Have your volunteers or staff ever gotten frustrated or behind schedule due to an unresponsive website developer or agency? You’re not the only one with this concern. Does your sales department consider your nonprofit website a valuable asset in closing sales? Too many nonprofit teams lack internal command of the organization website, which affects your bottom line. This lack of control means your staff may have to wait days (or even weeks) to implement changes or new campaigns.
With our nonprofit staff WordPress training, Emily Journey can help you remove the middle man and give your team control over updates. Each of your team members will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to run, maintain, and update your nonprofit organization’s website–all without having to deal with poor communication from third parties.

Training FAQs »
The most popular reasons nonprofits hold off on WordPress training
“We’re just too busy to spend time on that right now.”
“We don’t have a budget to pay for the training.”
But, at the end of the day, not having a strong digital support system among your staff is even more risky. Here are the top 7 reasons you should bite the bullet and move forward with WordPress training classes for your nonprofit team. Let’s begin!
1. They’re rooting for your success
Staff and volunteers don’t want to see you fail. If you did, they’d need to go looking for a new job. And even though the unemployment rate is only at 5.5% right now, the job market is still a really competitive place. Trust me, they’re rooting for you.
So, let them help you make the organization a success through WordPress training classes. You may be surprised by how many great ideas and talents they have in this area, especially younger team members.
2. They understand the mission
They’re in the mission every day, interacting with stakeholders and helping you fulfill the mission. That kind of intimate knowledge makes them perfect for updating your website. By being right in the middle of the action, they’ll know the FAQs, be able to grab cool pictures and videos, and they know exactly how to update the Events section.
3. You see them on a regular basis
Because you see them most days, you’ll be able to quickly resolve any issues with the website. Find a typo? Want a new image uploaded? Have a new announcement to put on the blog? You won’t need to wait days to hear back from an agency, they can answer you in real time.
4. You already trust and know them
Freelancers, consultants and agencies don’t know you. They’re just trying to make a sale. Your staff, on the other hand, have already proven their loyalty and trustworthiness. Why go out on a limb for someone new when you already have untapped talent in-house?
5. You won’t have to do it yourself
This is probably one of the biggest selling points. After working a long, hard day, the last thing you should have to do is worry about the website.
Giving the responsibility to your team means getting something off your plate. And, trust me, that’s a good thing for any nonprofit development director.
6. You won’t have to hire an agency
It’s always amazing to hear how many nonprofits get bombarded with sales propositions from agencies. Perhaps even more surprising? How many hire these agencies, only to be left frustrated and in the dark about the services they’ve purchased.
When you’ve got a staff member helping you out, you can just ignore those annoying sales calls.
7. You’ll save money
Time is money. And agencies are money. By not having to hire an agency or do the uploading yourself, you’ll save money in the long haul. Most staff members are happy to add this to their responsibilities, especially if they’re tech savvy.
WordPress training options
As nonprofit leaders need more and more support for their online efforts, the best thing you can do is hire from within. Ask volunteers and staff to take over some website responsibilities. Not only will it save you from dealing with web agencies, but you’ll free yourself to focus on the other important aspects of running a nonprofit organization.
