Short answer

What does a charity website designer do?

A charity website designer builds your site around the people you need to reach: people you support, donors, volunteers and funders. That means clear routes to get support, give and volunteer, quick donations, accessible pages, and marketing that brings people to the site.

What we plan your site around
A clear route for each audience
Donations that are quick to finish
Volunteer and event sign-ups
Impact that funders can find
Your charity number on show
Accessible to everyone you support
Easy for your team to update

Who it’s for

Who is our charity website design and marketing for, and who isn’t it for?

From local groups run by volunteers to national charities and CICs, wherever you’re based.

01

Local and community charities

A site a small team or volunteers can run, with the essentials done properly.

02

Regional and national charities

Several services, locations and campaigns, organised so each audience finds its own route.

03

Social enterprises and CICs

Sell your products or services and show your social purpose on the same site.

04

Youth, sport and education organisations

Sessions, events and sign-ups for young people, parents and schools, easy to find on a phone.

Who it isn’t for

We build on WordPress and Elementor, so we’re not the right fit if you need a different platform, such as Wix, Squarespace or Shopify.

Where do charity websites lose supporters?

Supporters Lost along the way
Supporters · unclear website Donations
01 02 03 04
Supporters · clear charity website Donations
01

Nobody can log in any more

A volunteer built the site years ago, then moved on, taking the passwords with them.

02

Giving takes too many clicks

No monthly option, no Gift Aid prompt, and a donation page that looks nothing like you. Some give up halfway.

03

Funders can’t see your impact

Grant panels check your website. Results buried in an old PDF make your bid work harder.

04

People who need support can’t find it

The site talks to donors, while the people you exist for dig for the support line.

What we build

What does a charity website need to bring in more supporters?

Hover over a feature (or tap on mobile) to find it on the page

1

A route for each audience

Get support, donate, volunteer: each visitor reaches the right page in a click or two.

2

Donations that are quick to finish

One-off and monthly giving, with a Gift Aid declaration, using the donation platform you already use.

3

Volunteer and event sign-ups

Forms that collect availability and skills up front, so your coordinator can reply properly.

Charity marketing

Yes. Your site is built in Elementor, so staff and volunteers can post news and update appeals without a developer. You own your website and domain outright, with training at launch and our care plans keeping it secure.

FAQs

Questions about charity website design

Questions

How much does charity website design cost?

It depends on your pages, donations or online sales, and the platforms we connect. You get a fixed price in writing after a growth review, or a rough figure now from our website cost calculator.

How do I choose a charity web design agency?

Look at the charity websites they’ve built, check you’ll speak to the people doing the work, and make sure you’ll own your website and get a fixed price up front.

Do you design websites for social enterprises and CICs?

Yes. We plan sites that sell your products or services and show your social impact, for customers and funders alike.

Do you offer charity marketing as well as web design?

Yes. We run SEO, Google Ads, email and social media for charities and social enterprises, from the same team that builds your site. You can also work with us on marketing alone.

Can you connect our donation platform or CRM?

Usually, yes, through an embedded form, plugin or API, depending on your platform. We check it on your growth review and include it in your quote.

Will a new website affect our Google rankings?

Not if it’s handled properly. We map your current pages, keep the ones that rank and set up redirects before launch.
