Is Wordpress not working for you anymore?

Lots of nonprofits feel trapped in software that is strapped together with third-party plugins, often breaks, and adds to burnout for communications staff.

Picture it… You just had a great event and want to post photos on your website.

You login to your website admin panel to make the post, but your plugin needs to be updated. You dig through old emails to find your plugin authorization key, and reach out to the former employee who set up Wordpress 13 years ago when you can’t find it. You finally break through and update the plugin, but it breaks your website and now you’re getting 404 errors. You spend a whole day untangling the mess, installing a new plugin, getting it to magically work, and pray to the powers of the universe you never have to touch that function again. Sound familiar?

You’re not alone.

So many nonprofits and small do-gooder organizations have been using Wordpress for years—even decades. It makes sense. Wordpress is inexpensive, DIY, and made launching a website a reality for lots of organizations working with limited staff and budget.

But now, you’re stuck in a website that doesn’t work for you or the modern internet—pieced together with third-party plugins to do basic things like share on social media, complex work-arounds to make simple things “look right,” broken SSL, and convoluted content management. It’s your communications manager’s living nightmare.

There is a way out!

I’ve helped several nonprofits make the transition our of Wordpress to a new DIY platform, Squarespace, that is everything you wished Wordpress would be. Many nonprofit directors are scared to rebuild their website from instead of just giving it a new theme and facelift—but it’s something you should stop kicking down the road. The mental health of your staff depends on it.

Moving to Squarespace saves organizations time, money and frustration — and streamlines your hosting, domain and website management and passwords through one central portal.

Imagine… no more time stuck in the Password Triangle of Certain Death.
