In this hands-on lesson, you’ll learn how to create a full-featured NGO website using only free tools—no coding required. Perfect for beginners, this step-by-step tutorial walks you through building a clean, fast, and professional-looking website that includes all the essentials: homepage, about us, causes, events, contact, donation form, blog, and more.
We’ll start with the basics—setting up your domain and hosting—and then move into WordPress where you’ll install a lightweight theme (Nexter) and essential plugins like Nexter Extension and Next Blocks. These tools help you import pre-designed templates and customize layouts easily within the Gutenberg editor.
Next, you’ll learn how to personalize every part of your site—from text and images to headers, footers, and forms—without writing a single line of code. You’ll also explore built-in global style options for fonts and colors, giving you full visual control over your website.
But it doesn’t stop at design. This lesson also shows you how to boost your site’s performance and visibility by setting up SEO using Rank Math, adding caching with WP-Optimize, and securing your site with Wordfence Security. Each setup is explained clearly so even first-time users can follow along with ease.
Finally, you’ll learn how to test and launch your site, make navigation smooth, and ensure everything is polished and professional.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a fully functional NGO website that’s fast, secure, and SEO-ready—built entirely with free tools and smart customization.
