Hey there—Paul Williams here—that’s me, the same guy steering Foreclosurepedia, your go-to newswire for the Labor in the mortgage field services trenches. If you’re grinding in the Industry or the nonprofit sector you know overhead kills momentum. That’s why I’m fired up about AWS Lightsail’s ongoing promo: 3 months free on WordPress blueprints, layered with the AWS Free Tier’s $100 signup credits + up to $100 more earned credits. For low-to-medium traffic sites? That’s roughly a full year of free, bulletproof hosting—managed WordPress via Bitnami, static IPs, one-click HTTPS, and seamless scaling. No upfront costs, no lock-in, just AWS-grade muscle at zero cost. Most of you know my operations here, but I do a lot of my coding consultations on Digital Matrix Group.
At Digital Matrix Group, we’ve deployed 100+ of these setups over 20 years, blending nonprofit consulting (governance, fundraising, CiviCRM donor tracking) with deep for-profit chops in the mortgage field services industry—think custom portals for property inspections, bid rigging alerts, and compliance dashboards. As the force behind Foreclosurepedia, I’ve exposed HUD contract fraud, wage violations, and M&M program shakeups, helping firms like contractors and servicers navigate the chaos. Our portfolio? Nonprofits like Fight the Blight (grant-tracking, CiviCRM, and a WordPress hub) and for-profits like Stiles General Contractors (secure US government Contracting/AWS portals for field ops). We build sites that don’t just run—they strategize, comply, and convert, whether you’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit or a vendor chasing the latest Asset Manager awards.
This deal levels the playing field: Launch a donor-engagement site for your nonprofit or a whistleblower-secure portal for your servicing firm—all for $0 Year One and then six dollars—that is not a typo— a month afterwards! And if migration, custom themes, or CRM integrations (CiviCRM for nonprofits, custom FSM tools for for-profits) are on your plate, our free quotes turn “overwhelm” into “online” in days.
We have vastly extended our portfolio in the post-COVID environment to include educational platforms such as IAFST University as well as scripted social media campaigns which keep your website message in sync with the wide array of social media available today! We were also the first ever firm to create NFC card technology for the International Association of Field Service Technicians (IAFST) for their membership. Moreover, though, if you have a website that simply hasn’t kept up with modern technology, we can convert that on the fly for the free AWS Lightsail offer. Just the other day I had a Client ask, “I have email, why is my website not sending me messages?” It was a simple Google Cloud SMTP fix, but even if a firm wanted a massive Amazon SES layout, no problem! We are also capable of converting from Microsoft email platforms to Google Workspace—on the fly! Just yesterday, Microsoft was hacked, yet again, in a similar manner that GoDaddy has been constantly hacked for years. The bottom line is if you want to DIY your project, you have what you need in this article. If you want white gloved treatment and ongoing maintenance, simply give us a holler and we will get you a quote out in hours—not weeks!
