PORTSMOUTH - Four years ago Sexual Assault Support Services ran head first into what is called the technology barrier.

'We needed a Web site, but we had neither the budget to hire a Web designer, (nor) the knowledge to build one ourselves,' said Tammy Jordan, the organization’s community outreach coordinator.

SASS is not alone. More and more Seacoast-area nonprofits are using Web sites to provide contact information, attract volunteers and receive donations.

The technology barrier however, remains a large problem."
