Re: [foundation] Sagamore Hills Foundation website

Another thought is to use NationBuilder for the website. I have a little experience with it, helping the Vista Grove Initiative. Are you familiar?

That advantage I thought NationBuilder might have over Wordpress as the website is its dynamic nature for things like fundraising drives (a main use for the Foundation website?). And with the Foundation working with major donors and grants, NationBuilder's CRM functionality might be nice too. NationBuilder does cost $270/year though (vs free with Wordpress on Dreamhost's free for nonprofits).

Anyway, just thinking out loud (and CC'ing the Foundation group).

I don’t have plans or suggestions—if Dreamhost is working well then maybe keep going with them.

If we need something in a pinch (until nonprofit status is legit) then maybe we do an amazon lightsail instance with wordpress. Simple setup and just $5. Lenz, Inc. could sponsor hosting for a couple months. Then when nonprofit is legit, we export site and import to dreamhost.

My autocorrect keeps changing dreamhost to dreamiest.

Let me know if you want to go the lightsail route and I’ll get it setup and share creds with you.

I am not familiar with NationBuilder; let me know if I can help with anything else.

I'm clueless on all this stuff.  Sorry.
