Nonprofit Website Design. Built to be trusted and funded.
A nonprofit site has to do several jobs at once: convince a first-time donor, satisfy a program officer doing diligence, help a beneficiary find a service, and hold up under a board's scrutiny. We build sites that do all four without needing a full-time webmaster to keep them standing.

The problem
Three audiences, one budget
Nonprofit sites are usually built for donors and then quietly asked to serve everyone else too. The program officer doing diligence cannot find the annual report. The beneficiary cannot work out whether they qualify for the service. The board wants impact reporting that the CMS was never designed to produce.
Budget makes it harder, not easier: the work is often grant-funded, which means a fixed amount, a defined period, and a requirement to show what was delivered. We scope to that reality — fixed pricing, a real timeline, and documentation your funder can be shown.
Scope
What we build for nonprofits
Donation journeys
Giving flows designed to be completed on a phone, with recurring options handled properly and the receipt and thank-you sequence treated as part of the design rather than an afterthought.
Program and service directories
Structured so a beneficiary can find what they qualify for, and so eligibility rules read clearly in plain language.
Grant-ready documentation
Annual reports, IRS filings, impact data and board information that a program officer can locate in diligence without emailing you for it.
Donor and member data you own
CRM integration where constituent data sits in systems you control rather than rented per-seat. See our guide to donor-retention CRM design.
Google Ad Grant readiness
Eligible 501(c)(3)s can receive in-kind Google Ads spend, but the grant has site and account requirements that a typical nonprofit site does not meet out of the box. We build with those constraints in mind.
Getting cited by AI assistants
Program details, eligibility and hours that answer engines quote accurately — the subject of our guide to GEO for nonprofits.
Non-negotiables
What we build in regardless of budget
A smaller budget changes the scope, not the baseline.
Selected work
Mission-driven clients we have built for
Our nonprofit and mission-driven work includes the Assistance League, Literacy Imagined, The Inclusive Educator and a range of faith-based and conservation organizations. Work we cannot publish openly is available on request.
If you are issuing a formal solicitation rather than hiring directly, the nonprofit and public sector pillar explains how we respond to RFPs, and you can submit the documents for a fit review inside two business days.
