Website design for nonprofits and charities
A nonprofit website has several audiences at once: donors, volunteers, people who need your help, partners and funders. Each needs a clear route, and the donation path must be quick and trustworthy.

Where websites for nonprofits & charities usually fall short
Donations that leak
Long donation forms and redirects to unfamiliar pages lose donors at the last moment.
Volunteers handled by email
Sign-ups, rotas and onboarding through email chains take staff time.
Impact is hard to see
Supporters want to know what their money does, explained honestly.
Tight budgets, volunteer editors
Sites need to be cheap to run and easy for volunteers to update.
