How We’re Different

We want to help as many organizations as possible to harness the power of effective web design. To do that, we created a WordPress-based website platform that’s geared toward the specific needs of nonprofits—from features and monthly pricing to hands-on support.

We spend all our time thinking and talking about nonprofits. In addition to the website platform, we write about how nonprofits can use the web on our nonprofit marketing blog and help some clients with ongoing marketing needs. Our team debates nonprofit technology all the time (sounds like a lot of fun, right?). We’ve written for a bunch of places, including:

Mashable, stanford social innovation review, nonprofit quarterly, nten, Business Insider, GuideStar, social media examiner, problogger, amex open forum

It’s true your website should look good. But it also should allow your nonprofit to actually do more good. It should have a meaningful impact on your organization, such as:

• Boosting fundraising by inspiring website visitors to become donors and helping you maintain relationships with past donors
• Increasing volunteerism by connecting you with new volunteers and easing the process of managing volunteer events
• Raising awareness of your organization by publishing content that resonates with potential supporters and making information easy for them to find
• Serving your community by sharing educational content or offering tools your community members rely on

We believe your site should deliver measurable outcomes tied to your goals as an organization.

We promise we won’t lock you in with proprietary software or long-term contracts. We’re interested in building relationships with nonprofits that want to work with us, not locking folks into doing so. We build our websites on WordPress, an open source content management system. That means you’ll be able to manage your site and make updates to content yourself if you’d like to.

We want you to feel like we’re a partner. That’s why we respond to all emails and phone calls, including support questions, within one business day. We’ve dealt with companies that are hard to reach or disappear when you need them most. We have no interest in being one of those companies.

When you have a problem, the last thing you need is to talk to a “support rep” whose goal is to get you off the phone. Our team includes specialists in nonprofit marketing, content strategy, web design, project management and programming. We’ll get you in touch with someone who can actually answer your questions.

No two nonprofits need the exact same things. Before getting started with your website, we’ll discuss your goals and needs to make sure our platform is a good fit. We’ll also help you decide on a website structure and pages, as well as provide tips on your website’s content given your organization’s unique mission.

We know your operations funding is limited. You need to get the most bang for your buck and keep as much money dedicated to serving your community as you can. By offering nonprofit websites at an affordable monthly rate, you don’t have to juggle high upfront costs or wonder how to budget for website expenditures.

We believe our role in every project is to not only bring technical know-how but also knowledge of what works when it comes to nonprofits marketing. We’ll tell you what we think is best given your situation. And we’ll discuss how to tailor specific best practices to work well for you. If ultimately you decide to go a different direction than what we recommend, that’s alright. But we’ll always tell you when we think a different approach will produce better results for your organization and the community you serve.

In addition to making websites, we also build apps for nonprofits. Check them out to see if any seem helpful to your nonprofit. Many of them are free to use regardless of whether or not you’re building a site with us.

Without measurement, it’s impossible to know if your website is actually helping your nonprofit do more good. That’s why we share analytics and measurement tips on our blog and include proper Google Analytics setup when building your website. We love to work with organizations using website data to figure out what’s working well and what can be adjusted. We’re data geeks. And we’re not ashamed to admit it.
