About this talk

Many organizations treat websites as one-time projects, leading to broken platforms and zero impact. This session challenges that mindset, demonstrating how WordPress can serve as long-term infrastructure for social good.

Drawing from real-world deployments in Uganda, spanning schools, alumni networks, and non-profits, it explores the journey from simple blogs to dynamic, community-engaging platforms.

Key Takeaways:
Hard Truths: Why websites fail, why domain choices matter, and why training and ownership are non-negotiable.
Tech & Community: How to leverage modern tools like AI to accelerate development while keeping human purpose at the center.
