As a modern nonprofit organisation, you need a platform from which to shout about your work and the cause you support. Luckily, the web is made up of millions of websites, each of which is a potential platform to promote your cause.
There are so many websites out there, so how will you know what they all do and which ones you should be on?

That's still a lot to take in, but don't worry.
The good news is that you should ignore the question of what website to use at this point. Forget it - it's not the most important question. You've got a lot more questions to ask yourself first.
- What do your users want? What are their needs and interests?
- What do you want? What are your aims & outcomes?
- How will everyone get what they want? What's your big idea and how will it meet both your and your users' needs?
