As mentioned in an earlier post, one of the early initiatives that SYFAB adopted as part of the Digital Makeover project was to set up their website with the Google Analytics.

In the most recent video, Danny Anthrobus describes the process of setting up Analytics on their website, and picks out some of the insights that SYFAB have gained as a result. Some key findings that SYFAB have discovered are:

Whilst SYFAB's digital makeover is moving forward, I thought I would take the opportunity to have a look at some of the ways other nonprofit organisations have found clever ways to use new technology to refine the way that they are working.

Whilst South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau continue with their Digital Makeover, I though I would draw your attention to some research from nfpSynergy about charities use of the Internet. In their annual "Virtual Promise" research for 2007, I was interested to see that:

I am happy to say that things are really starting to progress with the project. The last entry took a look at how South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau (SYFAB) provide funding information to their service users and how this could be improved by taking some of this information online. SYFAB are also keen to look at how they can encourage service users to provide some of their own insights to create a more "rounded" information service.

After a few months of silence, I am back to launch an exciting new project that I hope will be of great interest to all of those nonprofits out there that are grappling the possibilities of new technologies, and perhaps struggling to seperate the digital wheat from the digital chaff. The 'Digital Makeover' project also aims to rope in social web experts, who are up for putting their considerable enthusiasm and know-how to good use in a practical context.
