A free Web publishing service allows non-profit organizations — and their local affiliates — to create Web sites quickly and without having to know any Internet programming language.
Charities can go to WeGo.com and build their own Web sites by filling in templates that the Palo Alto, Cal., company has created. In addition to building static Web pages, groups can also add interactive features to their sites, such as on-line calendars, e-mail discussion lists, and chat rooms.
Groups that already operate their own Web sites can add features from WeGo.com.
The company was founded by two recent graduates of Harvard Business School and two computer engineers. Anjai Gandhi, one of the founders, believes that the service will improve the way charities use technology by making it easier for them to update their sites, communicate with their members, and help their affiliates get on line.
In December, WeGo.com will add an on-line shopping mall and will split commissions earned there with participating charities. Another source of revenue for the company will be the sale of its Web publishing technology to other businesses for use in creating sites for businesses to use for their internal communications.
WeGo.com soon plans to introduce new features that will allow charities to accept on-line donations and dues payments.
