      I’ve been asked to manage a website for a non profit I’m involved with, and we’ve been given a budget for any software we might need, and possibly some hardware (slim possibility). When I built a site for us in the past, I just used WordPress along with Filezilla for FTP access, viewing in Chrome mostly, with Notepad++ if I needed it. We’ve got someone else who does the graphical work like creating logos etc. so I’m just wondering if there’s something that I’m missing that I could be using.

      This is a snapshot of the old site:

      While I’ve been typing this I just thought about backups. I was storing a copy of everything on my machine, but I also used WordPress Backup To Dropbox for another site:

      Is there anything that I’m missing, or something that could be making my life easier?

      Cheers dears ?

        In your shoe’s I would be sticking with wordpress. Not sure if there is already a site that you plan on managing and if that’s the case you will need to see what software was used. If you are rebuilding then just go with wordpress. A couple of things to help you build quicker with wordpress is to buy a professional theme and I would also recommend visual builder for wordpress although you may get it with a theme.

        As far as back-up is concerned I use wpbackup.

        I could go on and there is much that can be done with WP but things are only a search away to solve a problem.

          Thanks Lee 🙂

          Yeah, I’ll be sticking with WordPress, I just wanted to make sure that I’m not missing anything. Thanks for the tips too ?
