Free web hosting for affiliates of URJ

Last week’s post mentioned free web hosting available for affiliates of the United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism.  Fortunately, there is a parallel offering for affiliates of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ).

Visit the Marketing and Communications page on the URJ site, and scroll down a bit to the section entitled Websites.  There you can read a description of an offering named RJ Builder.  Interestingly (at least to the Geek community, of which your author counts as an enthusiastic member), RJ Builder apparently uses a content management system named Joomla–not as widely-used as WordPress, but no slouch when it comes to capabilities.

From the Frequently Asked Questions, the reader can be comforted that “RJ WebBuilder 2.0 is offered as a benefit of membership in the URJ, at no additional cost.”

If you’re a member of an affiliated congregation, I would encourage you to at least inquire of your temple or synagogue what they’re spending on web hosting.  There are free and low-cost options available.
