Websites are getting more complex and more involved every day. Terms like HTML 5, Web 2.0, and PHP can be intimidating. As they become more complicated, web sites are also becoming even more important. When people want to find out more about something, often their first stop is the web. Google is hit with over 4.7 billion searches every day. You can't afford to be without a web presence but developing and maintaining a website can be incredibly expensive if you have to hire someone to do it. With WordPress, you can do most of the work yourself very easily without having to know much, if any, code and training others to use it is simple. We'll talk about how easily it can be learned and used without sacrificing any power or flexibility.

From the time that we are young, we are told stories. These stories help to shape our lives and expand our language through reference and metaphor.

Stories allow people to get a better understanding about your organization and to connect. There are so many ways to tell a digital story, be it pictures, videos, social media or the much more traditional blog or article post, you really can tell your story your way. We'll take a brief look at how telling a good digital story can help you.
