How PACDC and Everyday Web Are Empowering Philly Small Businesses Ahead of FIFA 2026: Strengthen Your Biz Program
PACDC Workshops: How Philly Small Businesses Are Using AI to Strengthen Their Operations
PACDC is investing in practical digital training that actually moves the needle for entrepreneurs, and why Everyday Web was brought in to lead a series of workshops teaching business owners how to use AI and modern tools to streamline operations, improve marketing, and grow faster.. Small business owners ask all the time how to compete in a fast-changing digital world and the answer is never just “work harder.” The answer is leverage.
These sessions, part of the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations “Strengthen Your Biz” program, give local entrepreneurs access to capabilities that used to be reserved for big companies. Now it’s accessible — and in many cases, fully covered.
How Everyday Web Supports PACDC Cohorts
PACDC didn’t want fluffy theory or generic advice. They wanted actionable steps business owners could implement that same week. That’s where we come in.
Our workshops cover:
- How AI tools can automate repetitive tasks
- How small teams can use AI to improve marketing, websites, and customer engagement
- How to streamline operations without adding overhead
- How to build a modern digital presence that actually converts
- How AI can help entrepreneurs write content, plan campaigns, and launch faster
Each session uses the same “real-world” approach we use with our 1,000+ small business customers: show exactly what to click, what to use, and how to get results.
We also walk entrepreneurs through our AI Website Package, which provides a full website — built with AI + human quality control — free of cost under the PACDC program.

Why PACDC’s Digital Readiness Work Matters
Community development organizations rarely get enough credit for the ecosystem they support. The Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations has stepped up by funding education, technical support, and digital upgrades for entrepreneurs who need it most.
By giving businesses the digital tools they’ve been lacking, PACDC is doing three important things:
- Leveling the playing field for small and micro-businesses
- Driving neighborhood economic growth instead of letting it drift to national brands
- Preparing Philly for major 2026 traffic — FIFA, the 250th, and more
This isn’t just a workshop series.
It’s part of a long-term economic mobility infrastructure.

Everything is actionable. Every tool is accessible. No fluff.
The AI Website Included Free Under PACDC
One of the most impactful parts of the program is that qualifying entrepreneurs get access to Everyday Web’s AI Website Package, fully subsidized.
This includes:
✔ A complete AI-assisted website build
✔ Professional layouts and brand customization
✔ Essential pages (Home, About, Services, Contact, etc.)
✔ Built-in SEO foundations
✔ High-performance hosting
✔ 1-on-1 support from our team
✔ A ready-to-launch site in days, not months
This is the same process we created after helping hundreds of Philly entrepreneurs launch successfully — now packaged into something even faster and cheaper to deliver at scale.
How This Program Prepares Businesses for 2026 and Beyond
Philadelphia is heading into a once-in-a-generation visibility spike between FIFA, the Semiquincentennial, and ongoing national events. A huge portion of SMBs still aren’t digitally ready for that traffic.
PACDC’s decision to fund digital skill-building — and subsidize websites — gives local entrepreneurs a real shot at capturing that demand.
This is how neighborhoods grow.
This is how small business ecosystems stay competitive.
This is how Philly builds long-term economic resilience.
