Web Development for Charities and Nonprofits
Digital services built around your mission, not your budget
We are a worker co-operative, and we have a long history of working with charities, community organisations, and nonprofits that need good digital work at a price that reflects their reality. We build on open-source platforms — WordPress, custom PHP — so there are no ongoing licence fees eating into your budget and no vendor lock-in if you ever need to switch developers.
Whether you need a new website, a donation system, an events calendar, or a bespoke application to track your services and report to funders, we have built all of these for organisations like yours. We work transparently, on fixed-price contracts, and we train your team to manage their own content after launch.
Digital Fundraising
A donation journey should take seconds, not minutes. We integrate payment gateways and donation modules directly into your website — no third-party redirects that break trust mid-transaction. We work with Stripe, PayPal, and specialist charity processors, and we optimise the entire flow for mobile users, who now account for the majority of online donations. Every element — button placement, form length, confirmation messaging — is designed to reduce drop-off and increase completed gifts.
Events Calendar
Supporters who cannot find your events do not attend them. We build integrated calendar and map modules that list your events cleanly, work on every device, and appear correctly in Google search results. Supporters can filter by date, location, or event type, and every event page is structured for SEO so new audiences can discover your work. We can integrate with your existing booking or ticketing system, or build a simple one from scratch.
Charity Website Development
Whether you are launching your first website or replacing one that has not been touched since 2015, we build on WordPress — open source, easy for your team to manage, and supported by a global community of developers. Every site we deliver is mobile-optimised, fast-loading, and structured for search engines from the ground up. We handle hosting setup, SSL, analytics, and a handover session so your staff can manage content independently from day one.
Track Services and Measure Impact
Funders want evidence. Boards want data. We have built bespoke web and desktop applications for charities that need to track client interactions, service delivery, and outcome metrics — and turn that data into reports they can actually use. If your current system is a spreadsheet that three people maintain differently, we can replace it with something purpose-built, secure, and straightforward for frontline staff to use without training every six months.
Community Forums and Social Media
Some organisations need more than a website — they need a space where their community can connect, share experiences, and support each other. We have built secure, moderated forums for health charities where patients share experiences in a safe environment, and community platforms for grassroots organisations building local networks. We can also advise on social media strategy and integrate your channels into your website so your content reaches the right people.
Video Production for the Web
A two-minute video explaining what your charity does converts better than any amount of written copy. We produce web video for charities: impact stories, volunteer and donor appeals, service explainers, and event coverage. Video is no longer optional for organisations that want to reach younger supporters and communicate impact quickly — and it does not need a broadcast budget to be effective. We keep it focused, genuine, and built to work on every device and platform your audience uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer discounted rates for charities and nonprofits?
Yes. As a worker co-operative ourselves, we are committed to making good digital work accessible to organisations that do not have commercial budgets. We offer preferential rates for registered charities, community interest companies, and nonprofit organisations. Get in touch and we will work within your budget.
What platforms do you use for charity websites?
WordPress is our go-to platform for charity websites — it is open source, well-supported, easy for staff to manage without technical knowledge, and has a large ecosystem of fundraising and event plugins. For more complex requirements — member databases, impact tracking, bespoke applications — we build on custom PHP.
Can you add online donation functionality to our website?
Yes. We integrate payment gateways and donation modules into existing or new charity websites. We can connect with platforms like Stripe, PayPal, or specialist charity payment processors. We focus on making the donation journey as simple and trustworthy as possible — fewer clicks, clear confirmation, and mobile-optimised checkout.
How long does a charity website take to build?
A WordPress charity website typically takes 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Timelines depend on the number of pages, whether we are integrating donation tools or event systems, and how quickly your team can provide content. We give you a fixed delivery schedule at the start.
Do you work with small charities and community groups?
Yes. Some of our most rewarding projects have been with small community organisations. We have worked with health charities, arts groups, community forums, and grassroots nonprofits. Size of organisation is not a barrier — we scale the solution to the budget and the need.
