  Hi! I’m looking to build a website for a non-profit organization, and was considering wordpress. I’ve looked through some of the stuff and I have a few questions. For our organization, we are wanting it to be a membership management website, so members can sign up, look up other members, etc. We are also wanting to allow for event management on it, so having members purchase tickets, etc. We are also looking into potentially offering online webinars. I’m wondering if these are features available with the plugins? If so, would it fall under the $25/month? Are there additional costs involved with wanting the features that I mentioned? I’m also wondering if it’s user friendly, most of the board members tend to not be very tech savvy and want something pretty simple to use. I apologize for my many questions and long message, I’m having to propose this idea to them in the upcoming board meeting and want to be able to test this all out and show them so that they can make a decision! Thank you very much!

  Hi @cassieleow! There are many, many plugins options out there, and while your case is unique from what I’ve seen so far, I’ve no doubt that the right combination of plugins can get you there. And yes, that plan will support them.

  Just note the third party plugins are not included with the plan price. Many plugins are free, but some do have a purchase price or a yearly subscription option, and that would be separate from the plan cost here.

  We do have this built-in, too, if it helps:
  https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/eventbrite-event-calendarlisting-widget/

  The scheduling and tickets would be through Eventbrite in that case, but they would integrate with the site.

  Let us know if you have more questions! And note too, we do have a refund policy:

  Refund a Purchase

  As well as chat-based support with plans.

  So if you’d like, you could buy the plan, try out the features, talk to support with any questions you have — and if it doesn’t work as you’d like it to, you can get a refund.
