Charity website design that helps people support your cause

Your website should make supporting your charity easy

People visiting a charity website are often there for a reason. They might want to make a donation, find support, volunteer their time, attend an event or simply learn more about the work you do.

They shouldn’t have to hunt around to do it.

I design charity websites around those journeys, making the important information easy to find and giving visitors clear ways to take action.

For charities accepting donations online, I can also build donation functionality directly into your website, including one-off and recurring donations, fundraising campaigns and Gift Aid.

Everything your charity website needs

Online donations

Accept one-off and recurring donations directly through your website, with a simple donation process designed to remove unnecessary barriers between somebody deciding to support you and actually doing it.

Campaigns and fundraising

Create dedicated fundraising campaigns with individual targets, progress and content, giving supporters a clear picture of what their donations will help you achieve.

Show the impact of your work

Use case studies, stories, statistics and updates to demonstrate where money goes and the difference your organisation is making.

Events and volunteering

Make it easy for people to discover upcoming events, fundraising opportunities and ways to volunteer with your organisation.

News and updates

Give your team an easy way to publish news, campaign updates, success stories and other content without needing a developer every time something changes.

Built around your charity

Every organisation works differently. Your website can be structured around your services, campaigns, locations, fundraising and the people you support rather than forcing everything into a generic charity template.

Built on WordPress and easy for your team to manage

I build my websites on WordPress, giving your team control over the website once it’s live.

Rather than filling the site with complicated page builders and unnecessary plugins, I’ll create an editing experience around the content your team actually needs to manage.

That could mean adding a new fundraising campaign, publishing an impact story, updating an event, changing your services or creating a new page.

I’ll also provide training before launch, so the people responsible for your website know exactly how to use it.

Donation functionality built into your website

For charities that accept donations online, I can integrate a complete donation system directly into WordPress using GiveWP.

This can include:

• One-off and recurring donations
• Custom donation amounts
• Fundraising campaigns and targets
• Gift Aid
• Donor management
• Donation receipts
• Payment gateway integration
• Donation reporting

The important part is that it feels like part of your website, rather than sending potential donors through a confusing or disconnected process just as they’re ready to support you.

Experience building for the charity sector

I’ve previously worked on the redevelopment of a national charity website, rebuilding its online donation platform in WordPress and integrating GiveWP to give the organisation a much more manageable system for accepting and administering donations.

Alongside charity-sector experience, I’ve spent more than thirteen years designing and developing websites for organisations across the UK.

You’ll work directly with me throughout the project, from understanding what your organisation needs through to development, launch and training.

Why work with me on your charity website?

Direct working relationship

You’ll work directly with me throughout the project. No account managers or layers of communication between you and the person actually working on your website.

Built around your organisation

Your charity isn’t the same as every other charity, so your website shouldn’t be either. I’ll structure the site around your organisation, audiences and goals.

Easy to manage

I’ll build the WordPress CMS around your content and train your team to use it, so everyday updates don’t require a developer.

Designed to encourage action

Whether that’s making a donation, volunteering, fundraising, accessing support or getting in touch, the website will make the next step clear.

Ongoing support

I can continue to host, maintain and support your website after launch, giving your team somebody to contact whenever you need help.
