From Smashing Magazine, here are some excellent "best practices" prepared expressly for nonprofit websites. It’s a great resource for your web development team … even if that team is just you!

They also offer their "20 examples of great nonprofit sites" (all hotlinked), indicating what they like about each:

  1. Greenpeace USA
  2. Kiva
  3. NYC Coalition Against Hunger
  4. ASPCA
  5. One
  6. Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research
  7. Save the Children
  8. Oxfam America
  9. NRDC
  10. Amnesty International
  11. The Nature Conservancy
  12. Witness
  13. Product (Red)
  14. Susan G Komen for the Cure
  15. Take The Walk
  16. Change.org
  17. Charity: water
  18. The Breadline Africa Worldwide Blogger Bake Off
  19. Blog Action Day
  20. Ducks Unlimited

Smashing Magazine website seems to be a major online "watering hole" for web designers and developers around the world. What they’re offering online now is a teaser for a 300-page book ($24) due out in October. The stuff online today is high level, but useful; the book looks like it will range from 50,000 feet to down into the weeds.

Check it out.
