Websites for nonprofits

A site your board isn't embarrassed to send a funder, and a donate flow that doesn't take four clicks.

Real budgets, real programs, real outcomes, and a website that makes all three hard to find. The funder, the participant, and the donor are each looking for one thing, and most nonprofit sites make all three dig.

Funded organizations with real programs and real operating budgets.

Who’s landing on your site
01

A program officer with 40 tabs open

Deciding whether your organization is legit enough to shortlist. They want the mission, the outcomes, and the leadership in under 2 minutes.

02

Someone who needs your program

Not a donor, not a volunteer. Looking for the thing you do, how to get it, and whether it's for people like them. Usually the least-served visitor on the site.

03

A donor who just heard about you

Moved enough to give right now, if the button is where they expect it and the form doesn't ask for their life story.

What they can’t tell from your current site

Three things they came to find out. Three things most sites never say. Three reasons the tab closes.

What the programs actually are.

Mission statements are for the wall. The site has to say what you run, for whom, and how to get in.

That the money does something.

Outcomes, not adjectives. One real number per program beats a page of impact language.

How to give in under a minute.

Every extra click on the donate path is a donor who meant to and didn't. A donate button that actually works is the cheapest fundraising you'll ever do.

Nonprofit

Mind Body Ecology Institute

A mindfulness nonprofit whose programs, the whole reason it exists, were buried on a broken site. Rebuilt from scratch with the programs first, and the visibility followed.

They did a total rebuild of our site, restyled some of the branding materials, added pages, did SEO work, and more. It has dramatically increased our visibility.

Is this you?

Who we build for in nonprofits, and who we don’t.

It’s a fit if

  • You've got an operating budget, staff, and programs that run, and the site is behind all three.
  • There's one person who can make decisions, even if the board reviews.
  • You'd rather hand it to someone once and get a site the staff can update than a redesign every 3 years.
  • You're ready to lead with programs and outcomes, not the mission statement. (The mission still matters. It goes second.)

It’s probably not, if

  • You're a volunteer group looking for a free site. A template is fine for that, and an hourly call can make it better.
  • You're still forming the organization. Pre-launch package, then the site.
  • The board needs to approve every headline. We'll wait until they've picked one person.

Things nonprofits ask us.

If yours isn’t here, bring it to the call.

Can staff update it without calling you?

Yes. Mind Body Ecology Institute's staff update their own site now. We build for the person who'll maintain it, then train them, and the care plan is there if you'd rather not.

Can it take donations, events, and memberships?

Yes, on the tools you already use where possible. MBEI runs coursework and memberships through the site. We connect what you have rather than replacing it.

How much does a nonprofit website cost?

A programs-first site with a donate flow usually lands at 8 to 15 pages, so most run from the top of $3,500 to $5,500 into $6,500 to $15,000. We write the scope so a funder can read it.

We're a small team. Will this eat our year?

2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to launch, and most of your side is feedback and content. We'll tell you what we need from you on day one, and the rest stays off your plate.

Will people find our programs on Google?

That's the point. One page per program, written for the person who needs it, is how MBEI's programs went from buried to found.

Bring the site. We'll tell you what a program officer sees in two minutes.

30 minutes, free, and nothing to prepare.
