Outsourced services can provide fully developed, state-of-the-art functions that plug seemlessly into, or compliment an organization's existing web presence. But research and testing the various opportuntities is important. This site consolidates a lot of these options with reviews and links. Included are two main categories: Application Service Providers (ASPs) that offer outsourced services that can enhance your organization's web presence with a minimum of programming and administrative effort; and Internet Portals that are central websites where web surfers can choose to support multiple nonprofit organizations through online donations and affinity shopping.
