Connecting good causes to their supporters through marketing and design

Here at MillerCox Design, we believe that courageous nonprofits drive positive change in the world, and with powerful marketing and well-crafted graphic design, nonprofits can reach their supporters even more effectively.

So, take a minute to look at your own materials: Does your web site convey your outcomes? Is it modern and reflective of the work you do? Is it easy for your supporters to find, and for you to update? Do your brochures show your impact? At MillerCox, we think that design really matters. And we want to support the missions of like-minded nonprofits by helping with marketing plans and implementing design materials, so that they have the high-impact marketing tools they need to build and strengthen connections, and move forward on solving social issues.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by marketing, and when you are ready to revitalize, we are here to help, and with prices designed for midsize nonprofits. Whether you need fresh marketing strategy, a refreshed web site, social channel design, a brochure or annual report (print or digital) or meeting materials, we might be able to help. To schedule a get-acquainted call, give us a ring at 301-933-4062 or send us a note. We can help with high-level thinking or an individual project, and our goal is always to see how we can best support your mission.

We believe that WordPress sites are perfectly safe, provided a few precautions are taken. Here are a few things we recommend, using the concept of security through obscurity.

Set your user name(s) to anything except admin. If an admin user already exists, create a new user name and assign admin privileges, and then remove the account with “admin” as the user name. It’s so much harder for a hacker to access your site if they have to figure out the password AND the user name. Your user name can be as simple as your full name, such as Heather Cox (spaces are OK).
