[Answered] [Answered] Organization Website: What plan is right for me?

January 26th, 2008, 5:15 PM

I'm president of a small organization whose goal is to spread suicide awareness. The website we have is pretty terrible: it's Freewebs. Our website will be the most important aspect of our organization and I want to be able to have a forum, user profiles, maybe even blogs (but that's some years in the future). Most importantly user login stuff. I only know enough HTML/CSS to create a remotely decent layout, but no knowledge of Java, PHP, MySQL, etc. What should I do???

Thanks for your attention.

If it's just one website then all you will need is a shared plan and that can take care of all of this

The Power plan should suite you just fine. As you grow we can help you upgrade, no problems there.

Have you thought about using something like Wordpress or some other CMS? You can have a pretty nice looking site, there's a lot of plugins and themes available. I'm not sure if you can integrate a forum into it though.

I would look into either Joomla or Mambo, since they are more "organization" oriented and have all the features you mentioned above.

Suicide awareness... interesting. Let me know when the site is done. I'd like to see it.
