How this site is organized
eNonProfits is a backgrounder covering nonprofit and Internet basics, how nonprofits can and do use the Net, and the business, social, and technical issues affecting nonprofits online. This is the big idea part of the tutorial!
Learning and Using the Net explores the free and inexpensive tools available to nonprofits online like email, search engines, and various business applications. For many nonprofits these services are as important as establishing a website.
Creating an Online Presence includes planning, designing, creating, maintaining, and promoting a website. The emphasis here is on managing web content and expenses.
Business Plan features worksheets and checklists that help you put the material you learn in the tutorial to use.
Other is not strictly part of the tutorial -- just the stuff that adds value to it like the calendar, glossary, and resource links. It also includes the essentials that all websites need to have: contact info and feedback forms, privacy statement, site index, and what's new.
