Your website can - and probably should - be a key part of your organisation's social web strategy.

How well does your website take advantage of social media?

Can you use your website, your permanent home on the web, to share aspects of your organisation's life, decisions and thinking?

Planning
Your new website has to serve your objectives as an organisation. We begin with the details of your situation and use this understanding to present you with a clear specification for a social media website.

You have control
We build your website in a way which allows you to retain control and allows you and your team to manage your content. We loathe the practice of locking clients into bespoke proprietary systems, as practised by some companies you may have encountered. Your long-term freedom is important to us!

Visual design
We manage the project to completion and handpick graphic designers and visual brand experts who can help communicate your organisation's values in milliseconds.

WordPress
WordPress is our favoured content management system and is the basis for the majority of websites we build, the main reasons for this choice being that it is capable, flexible and gives you freedom.

The Safe Foundation website

26 January 2009 by

NativeHQ present the Safe Foundation’s new website. Built on WordPress, the site gives the charity the capacity to operate online.

The Safe Foundation are a Cardiff-based charity that raises funds for small community projects overseas. They organise fundraising balls, parties and other events in the UK, getting contributions from their networks for communities they connect with directly.

Their new website provides them with a platform for operating online:

  • A latest news blog with RSS feed
  • Profiles of the projects they work with
  • An events calender for their fundraising events
  • A donation page where you can donate via PayPal, using Chipin
  • A Flickr group gallery for their photos
  • A cideo channel

The site is built in WordPress, giving the Foundation an awesome open source platform that is infinitely extendable.

You can also connect to the Safe Foundation team on Twitter:

For their first online fundraising effort, the Safe ladies are raising money to send a Flip Camcorder to the kids they work with in Sierra Leone. They only need $125 (about $90), so why not give them a big welcome to the web by Chipping into their fund?

UPDATE: It took then 1.5 hours to raise $125! So the Safe Foundation are going to raise another $450 for Flip cams for the kids they work with in India, Ghana and Uganda too!
