DESCRIPTION

In this practical demonstration, we talked about options for people who want to make their own websites but may not have a vast amount of technical know-how and design expertise, and then walked step-by-step through making a non-blog website with a custom look and features for a nonprofit initiative using the WordPress platform, including: * What types of initiatives are best served by a microsite or website * The basics of setting up a hosting account for your website * How to take a template and make it match your current branding or infrastructure--or how to create something completely new. * Making sure your website has fully integrated social options * Working with plug-ins that will enhance the functionality of your website.
