FAST, ACCESSIBLE, AND HIGH-CONVERTING.
We build custom digital experiences that tell your story and turn visitors into lifelong supporters. Every pixel serves a purpose.
MORE THAN JUST A PRETTY FACE
Your website is often the very first interaction a potential donor, volunteer, or beneficiary has with your organization. In that split second, they make a judgment call: "Is this organization credible? Are they professional? Can I trust them with my money?"
Too many nonprofits settle for clunky, outdated templates that scream "low budget." I believe that nonprofit website design should rival the best corporate sites in the world. Why? Because you are competing for the same attention span. If your site is slow, confusing, or ugly, you lose the opportunity to connect.
I BUILD CHARITY WEB DESIGN SOLUTIONS THAT ARE VISUALLY STUNNING, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, STRATEGIC. EVERY PIXEL SERVES A PURPOSE.
WORDPRESS VS CUSTOM
WordPress for nonprofits remains a popular choice when it's the right fit—particularly for organizations that need frequent content updates by non-technical staff. However, I don't use bloated WordPress themes. I build custom WordPress for nonprofits solutions with clean code, optimized performance, and proper security hardening.
For organizations that need more, I specialize in custom coding using modern frameworks like Next.js and React. Custom sites offer superior speed, security, scalability, and brand uniqueness.
SPEED & PERFORMANCE
Custom sites are lightweight. They don't carry the baggage of unused plugins and generic code. This means they load instantly. Google loves fast sites (better SEO), and users love them even more. A one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by 7%.
SECURITY
WordPress sites are the most hacked sites on the web because of their plugin architecture. My custom sites are statically generated and headless, meaning there is almost zero attack surface. You don't have to worry about waking up to a defaced homepage.
SCALABILITY
Templates break when you try to force them to do things they weren't designed for. Custom code scales with you. Whether you need a complex donor portal, an interactive impact map, or a multi-language interface, I can build it exactly to your specs.
BRAND UNIQUENESS
Your mission is unique; your site should be too. Templates make you look like everyone else. Custom design allows us to craft an experience that is distinctly yours, building a stronger emotional connection with your audience.
ACCESSIBILITY IS NOT OPTIONAL
For mission-driven organizations, accessible web development is a moral imperative. Roughly 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability. If your website isn't WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliant, you are actively excluding these individuals from your mission.
I build accessibility into the DNA of every project. This includes: Screen reader compatibility with proper semantic HTML structure, keyboard navigation ensuring every element can be accessed without a mouse, color contrast making sure text is readable for those with visual impairments, and alt text describing images for those who can't see them.
Beyond the ethical argument, accessibility is also good for business. Accessible sites rank better in search engines and protect you from rising digital ADA lawsuits.
INVESTMENT & PRICING
Custom nonprofit website design is an investment that typically ranges from $5,000 to $25,000+ depending on complexity. Here's what factors into the cost:
BASIC NONPROFIT SITE
- →5-10 pages (Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact, Donate)
- →Mobile-responsive design
- →Basic accessibility compliance (WCAG AA)
- →Donation integration (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
- →Content Management System
ADVANCED NONPROFIT SITE
- →Everything in Basic, plus:
- →15-25 pages with complex information architecture
- →Custom interactive features (impact maps, donor portals)
- →Advanced CRM integration
- →Multi-language support
- →Comprehensive SEO optimization
ENTERPRISE PLATFORM
- →Large-scale platforms with 30+ pages
- →Custom web applications and dashboards
- →Advanced automation and integrations
- →Member portals and community features
- →Multi-site management
- →Ongoing support and maintenance included
While the upfront web design cost may seem significant, consider this: A well-designed donation page that converts just 1% better can generate thousands of additional dollars in donations each year. That ROI makes the investment worthwhile.

Real questions. Real answers.
Nonprofit website design typically ranges from $5,000 for a basic 5-10 page site to $25,000+ for enterprise platforms with custom features. Factors include number of pages, custom functionality, integrations, and content creation needs. I provide detailed, transparent quotes after understanding your specific requirements.
A typical website redesign takes 6-12 weeks from kickoff to launch. This includes discovery, wireframing, design, development, content migration, testing, and training. Timelines vary based on project complexity and how quickly you can provide feedback and content. For a complete guide, see our website redesign guide.
Yes! I offer both WordPress for nonprofits and custom-coded solutions. WordPress is ideal for organizations that need frequent content updates by non-technical staff. Custom builds (Next.js/React) are better for maximum performance, security, and unique functionality. I'll recommend the right approach based on your needs, team capabilities, and budget.
Accessible web development is built into every project from day one. I follow WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a minimum, ensuring your site works with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies. This includes proper heading structure, alt text, color contrast, and focus states. I also test with actual assistive technologies before launch.
A refresh updates visual elements (colors, fonts, images) while keeping your current structure and platform. A full website redesign reimagines the entire site—new information architecture, new platform, new content strategy. Refreshes are faster and cheaper but won't fix fundamental structural or performance issues. I can help you determine which approach makes sense for your situation.
I set up a content management system (CMS) that lets your team update text, images, blog posts, and staff bios without touching code. For WordPress for nonprofits sites, this is the familiar WordPress dashboard. For custom builds, I use headless CMS platforms like Sanity that are actually easier to use. I also offer ongoing support packages for technical maintenance and updates.
