## Building and maintaining a website
|
|
|
|
The information architecture was straightforward -- Equality Initiative was split into two activities: funding teachers to go directly to rural students, and incubating social initiatives.
|
|
|
|
The decided structure was to have an about page describing Equality Initiative, its activities, and its pitch. This would be followed by a page detailing our education activities, and a category of pages for initiatives.
|
|
|
|
The website was implemented with Wordpress and Divi, to allow ease of editing by anyone in the future if necessary.
|
|
|
|
When it came time to add a donation flow to the website, I compared several different Wordpress plugins. I eventually decided on Give.

## Administrating a managed-hosting email server
|
|
|
|
Since we were using Bluehost, managing email accounts and quotas was simple.
|
|
|
|
Inboxes were created for each team member, as well as some utility inboxes for contact and press.
|
|
|
|
As new team members joined, I would create an inbox for them and set an appropriate quota. |
