WordPress has long been the platform of choice for religious websites, charity websites, and other non-profit organisations.
The affordability of premium designs is enticing, but it is the unique features offered in non-profit WordPress themes that attract many non-profit organisations to use WordPress. Custom post types help add galleries and portfolios and unique features such as events and booking.
