Charity websites carry more operational weight than most. Donations, memberships, events and volunteers all run through them, and the budget spent building them is accountable to somebody.
A charity site usually has to explain the cause, take donations, sell or administer memberships, handle event bookings, recruit volunteers and keep trustees informed. Commercial sites rarely carry that many distinct jobs, and charities carry them on smaller budgets.
The consequence is that prioritisation matters more than anywhere else. The honest question is which of those jobs brings in money or saves staff time, and doing those properly rather than doing all of them adequately.
The other recurring problem is supporter data. Donations in one system, memberships in another, event attendance in a spreadsheet, and no single view of a person who may be all three. Connecting those is frequently worth more than redesigning anything.
What we do
Working UK-wide — directly with businesses, and white label behind design and marketing agencies.
Discuss a projectQuick on a phone, with Gift Aid captured properly and regular giving as easy as a one-off. Small friction here costs real income.
Subscriptions that renew without chasing, which for membership charities is the difference between stable and declining income.
Member rates, capacity and attendance handled without a spreadsheet.
Donations, memberships and attendance connected, so you know who your supporters actually are.
Reducing the admin that falls on a small team, which is usually the clearest return available.
Genuinely done rather than claimed. For organisations serving the public this is a reasonable expectation.
On a fixed budget, doing three things well beats six adequately. We would rather help you prioritise than quote for everything.
Donation platforms take a percentage. Over a few years the difference between options can exceed what the website cost, and it is worth modelling.
Often capable, rarely documented. Taking one on starts with working out what is in it, not with a rebuild.
A lot of our work is delivered white label or under agreement, so these describe the problem and the approach rather than naming the client.
Course booking and online payment for the training arm of a charity that runs a regional ambulance service.
Web application · IntegrationAn API-connected membership platform handling publications, events and a two-way CRM sync — thousands of profiles and hundreds of transactions a week.
Membership · CRM syncA membership website for payroll professionals, with member benefits and book sales, kept in step with the client’s CRM by a bespoke two-way API integration.
We would rather help you spend a limited budget on the two or three things that bring in income or save staff time than quote for a list nobody can afford.
