We specialise in charity solutions. We know charities’ challenges and want to offer services that help them succeed. We offer a range of digital services for charities, big and small.
Website Design & Development
Our team of creative developers have a wealth of experience building charity websites for social enterprises that raise awareness and drive donations. We use WordPress to create a platform to promote your registered charity.
Accept Donations
Accepting donations and running fundraising events are key for a new global charity website. The most popular methods are GiveWP or JustGiving. These solutions allow you to integrate donation forms seamlessly so your audience can donate to your non-profit organisation.
Website Support
Having worked with many charities, we know how important support is. While you inspire people, our mission is to make sure your charity website runs smoothly. We offer monthly support and regular maintenance to keep your website secure, up-to-date, and running perfectly.
Client Success Stories
We are a London-based charity web design agency.
We build connections, balancing the profile raising with communicating the vision and goals of your charity.
To do this, we work with non-profits and website developers to create website designs that get to the point. We’ve worked with charity clients in the UK and North America so we know what it takes to create a great UX design that immerses visitors in your work.
Using WordPress, we design and build beautiful charity websites that you can manage yourself after handover.
Let our web design team build your new website so you can promote your cause. We’d love to work on your next project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the process of building a new charity website?
Once we’ve had a consultation and the project is confirmed, our web design team will start researching and begin the design phase, which will be the foundation of your website. Our design team will create a user-friendly experience while encapsulating your charity’s brand.
First, we will produce a layout for the homepage and ask for your feedback.
Once the feedback is implemented and you’ve signed off on the homepage, we will design the layout of the inner pages. Once the website designs are approved, we will move on to the build phase and start building your new charity website.
What content management system do you use for charity websites?
We use WordPress as the content management system for charity websites. WordPress is a robust open-source platform that offers great flexibility and control, making it perfect for charities. The user-friendly interface allows easy content updates and management without needing technical skills.
One of WordPress’s significant advantages is its compatibility with many plugins, such as GiveWP, which are explicitly designed for managing donations. This plugin makes it easy to accept and track donations so your charity can raise more funds and manage donor relationships.
WordPress has many other tools to enhance website functionality, including SEO plugins, security, and performance enhancers. So, your charity website will be optimised, secure, and fast. WordPress is a flexible, scalable, and reliable solution for charity organisations.
How much does a charity website cost?
This depends on the functionality and number of pages required for your charity website. To better understand the project, create a sitemap of what pages you need and a list of websites you like the look of.
Any functionality should be described, e.g. accepting donations, promoting events, and fundraising functionality.
Websites for non-profits start from £6,995 but will depend on the above specification.
Where are you based?
Our office is based in Leatherhead, Surrey and we work remotely across the southeast of the UK.

Do you offer SEO for charities?
