Websites for nonprofits and community groups
New supporters and volunteers decide in a minute whether they will show up. A welcoming, current site tells them when, where and what to expect.
Answer the first-timer questions
When are the meetings or events, where do I park, what should I bring, is there childcare? Putting those answers up front helps a nervous newcomer take the step.
Keep events current without a full-time webmaster
A site only helps if it is up to date. We build simple structures for events and announcements so a volunteer can keep them current, and our care plan can handle the rest.
Make giving and volunteering easy
A clear donate button that links to a secure payment page and a short volunteer signup form turn goodwill into support, without anyone handling card numbers directly.
What your site should have
- Meeting or event times, address and parking
- What a first visit is like
- Events and announcements with dates
- A secure giving or donation link
- Volunteer and contact forms
- Board, staff or volunteer leads with photos
- Accessibility information
Common mistakes
- Out-of-date events that make the group look inactive
- Hiding the meeting times several clicks deep
- Heavy pages that frustrate older visitors on slow connections
- No clear way to give or to ask a question
How we can help
Common questions
Can volunteers keep the site updated?
We design for it, with simple structures and handoff documents. If nobody has the time, a care plan covers small monthly updates.
Can you add online giving?
Yes. We link to a secure payment provider so donations are handled safely and card numbers never touch your site.
Do you offer anything for nonprofits?
We are happy to talk about scope and budget on a first call. Tell us what you can afford and we will say honestly what is possible.
