After being launched, many websites slowly degenerate, because the technical resources need to maintain and expand the existing site are too expensive. Non-profits, with limited budgets and a critical need to communicate with their memberships, are particularly vulnerable to inflexible websites that take a programmer’s help to maintain.

SGN’s custom administrative portal allows various members of the organization to update the most parts of the site with little effort. From a clean, intuitive interface, the organization can add news items, edit a calendar of workshops, newsletters, and grants, and keep an updated list of active school gardens and community partners. Including a content management system from the beginning often can save considerable resources over time.
