12 Days of Giving: Creative Ways Charities Can Spread Holiday Cheer
CHARITY WEB DESIGN MADE WITH HEART
I’ve worked FOR charities and not for profits for... whelp let’s just say a long time.
And now I work WITH charities just like yours. So, I know how vital your work is. That the need for it has never been greater, but that resources are stretched tighter than ever. This means that you end up trying to do everything yourself. But you aren’t alone.
I design and build affordable, beautiful websites that just look and feel like you, and I’m a pretty good content copywriter too. What’s more I make the process simple 😊
I build most websites in WIX or Squarespace, but I’m flexible so if you have a preferred space you are confident in we can always use that.
I CAN HELP YOU TO
TELL YOUR STORY EASIER
I think sometimes you are so close to your own story it’s difficult to know where to begin, or to know what’s missing.
I’ll help you cut through the clutter, organise the chaos and simplify your messaging so people will understand what you do, who you help and how you do it, and most importantly why they should support you.
RAISE MORE MONEY
A good website makes it easier to raise money by building trust, showing impact, and making donating quick and simple. I’ll help you reach more people, keep supporters engaged with updates and stories, and make events or campaigns easy to manage. Plus, I’ll help you show donors exactly how their money makes a difference, which inspires them to give again!
REACH MORE PEOPLE WITH YOUR VITAL SERVICES
Your new website will be accessible and SEO friendly. I’ll organise your content and make sure it is fully ‘audience centric’ – i.e. you’re thinking about ‘what our users are looking for’ rather than just ‘what do we want to tell people’.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY:
MY TYPICAL CLIENTS:
Being a woman and a mum has shown me how important it is to support other women and children. I love working with groups that help make their lives better. When I create websites for these organisations, I know I'm doing something that really helps people – and that makes me, supper happy. Check out my portfolio for some of my recent charity website examples.
Many of my clients have an existing website that’s outdated, chaotic, and not fit for purpose, usually built by a well-meaning friend of a friend. These are often small teams or family-run charities that are short on time and resources. I also work with brand-spanking new charities that have no website, no social media, no logo, and no idea where to start.
Does this sound like you? Whether it’s a complete makeover or starting from scratch, I’m here to help!
