Website Starter Kit

Step-by-step tools, templates, and guides to build your own nonprofit or civic website — no coding required.

💻 A Website You Control — Without the Monthly Headache

Too many small organizations and local leaders are stuck with:

  • Expensive, clunky website subscriptions
  • Outdated designs and content they can’t change
  • A confusing patchwork of hosting, plugins, and third-party tools

This project is for nonprofits, civic groups, freelancers, and small contractors who want a simple, professional web presence — built with static tools like Jekyll and GitHub Pages (or custom hosted if preferred).

🛠️ What’s Included

  • How to make content edits using Markdown, not code

💡 Why It Works

Static sites are:

  • ⚡ Fast and lightweight
  • 🛡️ More secure than plugin-heavy sites
  • 💰 Way cheaper — no $30–$100/month subscriptions
  • 🔧 Easier to maintain once launched

This is the same process I use for my own site — and I’ve made it beginner-friendly for your team, too.
