For nonprofits
A website donors can trust.
You already do the hard part — the programs, the people, the late nights. But when a donor or a grant reviewer looks you up, what they find is a website nobody has had time to fix. We build nonprofit websites that show the work the way it deserves to be seen — with a written proposal first, so your whole board sees the picture before anyone commits.
The real problem
The work is real. The website should say so.
Most nonprofit websites weren't neglected — they were outgrown. The mission moved forward and the site stayed where it was. Here's what that quietly costs you.
- +Donors look you up before they give — and a dated site plants a small doubt at the exact moment you need trust most.
- +Grant reviewers do their homework — they visit your website. If the mission is buried, your application has to do work the site should have done.
- +Giving is harder than it should be — a donate button nobody can find, or a giving page with too many steps, quietly turns generosity away.
- +Volunteer interest lands in an inbox — someone means to reply, the week gets away, and a willing pair of hands moves on.
- +Every dollar answers to the board — you can't sign off on vague scope, and you've heard the stories about agencies that keep finding new things to charge for.
What we build
Mission first. Everything else serves it.
A nonprofit website has three jobs: say clearly what you do, make giving easy, and make helping easy. We build for those three jobs. And where donor requirements or fundraising rules need professional review, we tell you which piece and who should look at it — that conversation happens before the proposal, not after.
- +A homepage that says what you do — mission, programs, and who you serve, in words a first-time visitor understands without a brochure.
- +Donation pages built to be trusted — connected to established payment processors, so donors' card details are handled by the processor — not by your site.
- +Campaign & fundraising pages — the appeal, the event, the year-end push, each with one clear path to give.
- +Volunteer signups that reach a person — forms that route to whoever follows up, not into an unwatched inbox.
- +Program & impact pages — the story of the work, told plainly, for the donor and the grant reviewer alike.
- +Donor tracking (CRM) setup — so a name given once isn't a name forgotten next campaign.
How it goes
- ListenYour mission, your programs, and what donors and grant reviewers need to see.
- FlagIf donor requirements or fundraising rules need professional review, you hear it now — before the proposal.
- ProposeA written proposal your board can read, question, and sign off on. No commitment before that.
- BuildOne person does the work, with written sign-offs at key steps and any change priced in writing first.
Where to start
Start with clarity, not commitment.
Not sure what your site actually needs? Start with a Launch Audit — a small first step that tells you what's working, what isn't, and what to do about it, whether or not you build with us. For the build itself, Essential Launch covers most nonprofits: a credible, mission-clear site with giving and signup paths that work. If you need campaign pages and donor tracking built out from day one, Growth Build is the honest recommendation — but only if that's truly where you are. Starting smaller isn't a failure; it's a budget doing its job. Sliding-scale and community-access pricing may be available for eligible nonprofits and early-stage founders.
Something your board can say yes to.
One call, no pressure. You'll leave knowing what your website needs, what we'd suggest, and what we won't do — and nothing moves forward without a written proposal and a signed agreement. We usually reply within one business day.
