Abstract:

So, you want to build a website for your organization or tiny business, and make sure it gets seen, but you have a very small budget? Learn how to use the right tools to build the site, what the options are for promotion, and where to find information to learn what you need to, all for little or no cost. Your organization or side-hustle can have a beautiful website that reaches and informs your audience while maximizing the available funds. Sally Gradle of Blue Orchid Web Development will walk us through some of her favorite tools for getting things done. This presentation is low-tech, suitable for all levels of WordPress users.
