Are you thinking about revamping your website but not sure where to start? Are you working with a web developer but wonder if you’re paying too much? With all the tools and strategies available, it’s hard to know where to start and what to expect. Attend this free webinar where Allen Gunn, Executive Director of Aspiration, will share valuable information about:
- The steps you should follow when framing and managing web projects to streamline the process and minimize cost.
- What you can expect to pay for different types of websites, from basic “brochure-ware” to higher-end web applications.
- The different types of website technologies.
This will be a basic-to-intermediate level overview of the website development process and ideal for decision makers, board members involved in the process, and accidental techies.
The "Request for Proposal", or RFP, is a critical element of any well-executed technology project that involves soliciting the services of external vendors and solution providers. But the concept of RFPs can be daunting to those who have not authored one, and even for those who understand the importance, many nonprofits are confused about how to write one, what to include, and even when one is needed.
During this one-hour webinar Aspiration shares knowledge, organizational practices and management of RFPs. We also demonstrate the templates and processes we use for the "RFP Coaching" that we provide to nonprofits when they need to solicit bids for web sites or other technology projects.

Nonprofits and grassroots organizations struggle to find funding for technology and tech infrastructure. When the majority of funds are spent on priority mission work, not much is left over. This problem is compounded by the ebb and flow of grant funding not always favoring the funding of technology.
During this online seminar, we offer examples of different strategies to sustain technology at your organization.
