I belong to a non-profit group and have been their volunteer webmaster for the last year or so. This group is part of a larger group; we are a chapter which is part of a section which is part of a larger international organization. The previous webmaster built our site (domain registration, web page template, etc) on GoDaddy. Go Daddy can make it easy however you will pay - I've costed out our very simple website for a year and it is $272.
I have told the President of our chapter I will no longer be webmaster after paying this last bill and she needs to find another webmaster or way to do this. I've suggested that she ask up the line what is available to us as a chapter under the auspices of higher level aggregate organizations.
My plan is to try and download any content and make it available for whatever platform will be used in the future. Moreover, I told the President there needs to be an information management plan, i.e. plan on how to disseminate and store the information and data that is generated as well as a way to communicate with the members and public. She's a great gal, but in her 80's and a bit over her head on this. He!! one of the members who is 20 years younger than I is lost on this, too, as it can be fairly technical with regard to how to think about this and implement it.
Do you all have any recommendations? I know that there are 'consolidators' who offer web page design and maintenance. If you know of a consolidator or some other way to outsource this outside of use GoDaddy and rely on volunteers for web page/web master duties, would greatly appreciate PMing me and I'll go do some more research. Thanks in advance.
