Internet Strategy on the Cheap: Tools and Resources

Tomorrow, October 18th, Eric Leland of Leland Design, and I will be presenting about, "Internet Strategy on the Cheap" at the San Francisco Bay Area Nonprofit Boot Camp.

We've compiled a list of Tools and Resources to share with participants, and thought that you might enjoy seeing it as well. This is by no means a comprehensive list, so please add your suggestions in the comments!

All of the Nonprofit Boot Camp sessions will be recorded and available on the Craigslist Foundation's Nonprofit Boot Camp Podcast.

Update: The presentation slides are available on FivePaths.

    Nice job!

    A few suggestions, if I may:

    For hosting of Ruby on Rails sites: http://www.EngineYard.com

    For creating simple do-it-yourself sites: http://www.Synthasite.com

    Event invitations:
    http://www.pingg.com a much better alternative to evite!

    Mailing Lists:
    http://www.iContact.com

    And of course, a plug for the site we are involved in:

    Online donations: http://www.ChangingThePresent.org

    Keep up the great work!

    Robert

    Thanks Britt for this great summary.

    Do you know of a solid, highly-customizable shopping cart system that won't break the bank? It would be nice to allow site shopping with part proceeds going to donation.

    Appreciate it,

    Thanks for the additional links, Robert.

    I don't have a good suggestion for you, ServingHim. A great place to ask, and look for answers, is the TechSoup Community Forums: http://www.techsoup.org/community/index.cfm
