SAMPLE ORGANIZATION
Big Picture
SAMPLE ORGANIZATION: has a working web presence, but the operating system behind the website is fragmented. The hosting environment is outdated and site isn't optimized. As well, there’s no single view of tools, costs, or risk, and performance (20s loads) slows member access and staff work. With a small amount of structured effort, the site can move from “fragile and slow” to “stable, measured, and easy to hand off” for future councils and staff.
Strength
Solid foundation: WordPress core is current, PHP is up to date and the site is bilingual.
Annual spend is lean; most paid tools can be rationalized to be removed without loss of function.
Clear ownership path: backups exist and the admin panel is accessible for structured clean-up.
Opportunity
Turn on analytics and basic reporting so leadership can see traffic, engagement, and trends.
Consolidate the plugin stack (one builder, one optimizer, one backup) to reduce load time and maintenance risk.
Review hosting and compare better hosting environments for optimal website performance.
Introduce a proper newsletter tool and a simple data-export/import SOP so membership communication isn’t manual.
Add a managed caching layer and increase PHP memory to stabilize Elementor pages.
Without action: members wait on slow pages, search engines can’t see key content, and staff time is lost to manual work.
With action: page loads drop under 3s, renewals and communications move faster, and leadership gets a live dashboard for status and spend.
Financially: trimming redundant plugins and adopting one-per-purpose saves ~$150–$300/yr; the larger win is time (5–8 hours/mo) and reduced risk.
Approve and execute the 30/60/90:
30 days: Enable caching, raise PHP memory to 512M, disable “discourage indexing,” update/verify backups, select one image optimizer, remove legacy/unused plugins.
60 days: Replace sliders with a static hero, consolidate Elementor add-ons, implement GA4 and a basic traffic report, stand up MailerLite and import contacts from Jotform.
90 days: Consider moving to a different hosting company / managed WP host, turn on monthly uptime/performance reporting, finalize a short SOP and staff handoff.
