It’s no secret that Denver area nonprofits operate on tight and efficient budgets. After all, that allows them to accomplish the most possible. Working smarter and thinking creatively often replaces those big budgets that larger organizations enjoy. So, how do you take your nonprofit to the next level?
Just imagine for a moment, what would it mean if people were able to better understand the program side of your nonprofit? Would they “buy-in” sooner? Would they be more likely to get involved and show their support? Would they trust your organization more?
Now think about the fund development side… What if that increase in understanding boosted trust, enthusiasm and resulted in more donations… and larger donations? What if people became more likely to tell friends, family and colleagues about your nonprofit and sway them to contribute?
That’s why your online presence is so important. It enables you to tell your story, build trust and further your mission.
Yes. Your website matters.
And it is more than just a place to put basic information. It is your portal to reach your audience, to engage them, to generate support, and to further your cause. It is a place for people to get to know you (yes, first impressions matter) and to introduce you to others. It is a place for your most enthusiastic fans. It is your home-base, the one place online that you own and can use to further your mission.
Hi, I’m Scott Rodgers and I created this Denver nonprofit website package to help Denver area nonprofits. My family and myself have deep ties to the Denver area and supporting local communities. I am a Denver native and went to Denver Public Schools K-12. My wife and I have three young kids, a golden retriever and a cat. My wife has worked as a teacher and for Big Brothers Big Sisters. My mother owned a Denver business for 20 years that employed as many as 45 people at its peak. My sister has served communities by working for Denver nonprofits, Denver city council, the Peace Corps, and as a nurse.
Professionally, I have over 12 years of website and web marketing experience. During that time, I have managed the websites for Denver radio stations Alice 105.9 FM, KOSI 101.1 FM, 99.5 The Mountain, and 1430AM KEZW, and managed online sales for 9NEWS.com, Denver’s Metromix.com and Denver’s MomsLikeMe.com. I was also the Director of Digital Product Development for a media group of 12 TV stations and 35 radio stations that grew annual digital revenue from $100,000 to $4,000,000 as well as dramatic online audience growth.
As a website consultant I have created websites for numerous nonprofit/community entities, such as cityWILD, Denver Gives, three Denver City Council campaigns, Hampden South Neighborhood Association, Southmoor Park South Neighborhood Association, Cory-Merrill Neighborhood Association, and more.
It is these experiences that led me to create this service. There is clearly a need for quality websites and I see so many organizations either spending too much or not putting enough emphasis on their website because it seems too complicated. Your mission is too important to NOT reach your potential. And you certainly don’t need the web getting in your way.
So I am here to help! Here to help you understand the web and how it can work for you. Here to create an affordable website that factors in all the knowledge I picked up working with websites that literally made millions of dollars for their owners.
This has not been an easy task. It has been a challenge to take the sophistication that costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and make it accessible to nonprofit budgets. Needless to say, I had to get creative. I had to question everything. I had to cut out elements that were not necessary and had to simplify everything. All while keeping the important elements that will allow your nonprofit to flourish online.
Here’s what I came up with…
The Denver Nonprofit Website Package Includes…
- Popular WordPress content management system used by ~18% of all websites. Why does this matter?
- It is widely used, improving the chances your staff will be able to easily edit website content from day one. Many web developers have WordPress experience, giving you technical freedom after your website goes live.
- It is free open-source software, eliminating a significant hard cost.
- Lots of features: blog, homepage slider image, photo gallery, contact forms, optimized for search engines, site search, social media hooks, mobile friendly responsive design, browser-based content management, and more.
- Premium design templates speed up the design process, reduce cost and allow for easy redesigns in the future.
- Premium plugins that improve upon the base free open-source software.
- Automatic backups stored in the cloud. If the worst case happens (your web server crashes or website gets hacked), you’re covered.
- Numerous security measures to thwart hacking in the first place.
- Setup on your web hosting account to keep you in control of your website files and billing. If you need a web host, no problem, I have a recommendation.
- Integration with MailChimp email marketing system (free if fewer than 2000 subscribers and 12,000 emails sent per month).
- Setup of GoogleApps cloud-based email, calendar, documents, and intranet. (It’s free for nonprofits — a $50/user per year value.)
A solution like this would typically cost $2,500, and a more customized version would cost up to $5,000, much more than many nonprofit budgets can afford. But like I said, I’ve worked hard to keep the important parts and provide you with a quality website at an affordable rate.
All yours at a special limited rate of $1497.
(Full market rate valued at $2,500.)
Here’s what people have said about my work…
Scott (owner of Accendo Digital) built both of cityWILD’s websites. The sites were a massive improvement on cityWILD’s past sites. They bolstered the organization’s web presence infinitely and were integral in cityWILD bolstering its earned income rafting arm by over 50% since their launch! As well, the sites were built in such a way that staff members with no web development knowledge could be trained to maintain them. Scott offered a price that was exceptionally reasonable for the amount of time, effort, and quality of product that was delivered. cityWILD highly recommends Scott at Accendo Digital for your website needs.

Executive Director, cityWILD
(a Denver nonprofit)
Scott had a very demanding schedule at Entercom, revamping websites for four radio stations, helping on-air talent understand how to integrate the website with the on-air show, helping on-air talent get to know their audience better (via Interactive media) and he did it all with a smile. I was one of the on-air talents that benefited from his expertise and it still continues to help daily. Scott is highly educated in his field, very professional and a team player.

former Program Director for KOSI 101 FM in Denver
But Scott, if WordPress is free, why should I pay for a website?
Yes, the WordPress open-source software is free. But it stops there. It requires specialized knowledge to install WordPress, effectively configure it and produce a final website with a great user experience. Some web hosts also tout their 1-click WordPress installs, but they fail to mention they are setting you up to be hacked due to the default settings. Also, once WordPress is installed and configured on your web server, it only has the default design…which millions of other people have as well. My Denver Nonprofit Website Design Package includes additional state of the art code for added functionality and a beautiful design that would cost over $400 if you purchased it yourself. Not to mention loading all of your content and training you how to use your new site. If you are still unsure and have a lot of time on your hands, I would encourage you to attempt to create a website like this. And hopefully I will still have this offer available when you get stuck.
Scott has a talent for keeping up with the latest industry developments and trends and applies the best suited elements to his work with a vision for the most productive future. He guides his team with a talent for teaching and an enthusiasm for his work. This guy knows what he’s doing and I’m proud to have learned from him!
