Establish Clear User Roles and Permissions

Managing a nonprofit website is often a collaborative effort, with multiple team members contributing content and updates. While this shared responsibility can be beneficial, it can also lead to confusion and inconsistency if roles and permissions are not clearly defined.

 

To prevent these issues, consider implementing a tailored user role management system. Work with your website provider to establish specific roles, such as content creators, event managers, editors, and administrators, and assign team members to these roles. This ensures that each person has access only to the sections of the website they need to update, safeguarding the integrity of your content and streamlining the editing process.

Your SabraCare+ team can help you to define and assign specific roles for your team, ensuring each member has access only to the website sections they need to update. This targeted approach not only safeguards the integrity of your online content, but also simplifies the your team’s WordPress dashboard and menu.

Additionally, we conduct an annual audit of all user roles and administrative access to the backend of your website. This proactive review ensures that former employees no longer have access, while employees with new responsibilities are granted the appropriate permissions. With these measures in place, you can have confidence that your website content remains secure and up-to-date, even as your team evolves.

 

Comprehensive Training and Support

Empowering your nonprofit team to manage website content independently is key to sustainable content management. When looking for a website provider, make sure they offer comprehensive training and ongoing support to help your staff learn the ins and outs of your CMS.

During the training sessions, your team should learn how to perform essential tasks, such as creating and publishing blog posts, updating event listings, and making changes to your pages and menus.

By providing hands-on guidance and step-by-step instructions, you can help your team feel confident and self-sufficient in managing your website.

At Sabra Creative, we believe in empowering nonprofit teams to take control of their website. That’s why we offer comprehensive training and support to help you add or update content on your own. We’ll show you how to set up and publish blog posts, post events, update your homepage, menus, and more. Our goal is to make website management easy and stress-free for you.

Leverage Instructional Videos and Resources

Even with thorough training, it’s natural for your team to forget certain website management procedures over time. To address this, consider working with your website provider to create instructional videos or written guides that your team can reference whenever they need a refresher.

These resources should be tailored to your specific CMS and website setup, ensuring that your team has the information they need to make updates efficiently. By having these materials on hand, your staff can quickly refresh their memory and avoid the frustration of trying to figure out a process they’ve forgotten.

With SabraCare+, you never have to worry if you forget how to do something. We record our training sessions and create a training video for you using Spiky AI, Loom and other tools. We want to make the process of managing your website as friendly and seamless as possible, so you can focus on what truly matters to your nonprofit organization.

 

Prioritize Ease of Use and Accessibility

When selecting a CMS or working with a website provider, find solutions that prioritize ease of use and accessibility for your team. Look for platforms with intuitive interfaces, clear navigation, and user-friendly content editing tools.

The more seamless and straightforward the content management process is, the more likely your team will be to regularly update your website.

This, in turn, will help you maintain a fresh, engaging online presence that effectively communicates your nonprofit’s mission and impact.

By implementing these strategies, you can empower your nonprofit team to take control of your website content and make updates with confidence. This will not only reduce the burden on your communications staff but also ensure that your online presence remains current, consistent, and aligned with your organization’s goals.
