Charities & community

Charity website design, done properly.

First Ideas has always supported charities, nonprofits and community organisations - some of the longest-running sites in the gallery are charity builds. A charity website has to explain the mission, help people find information fast, and make it easy to donate, volunteer or ask for help. That's the whole brief, and it deserves the same standard of build as any commercial site.

Everything handled, charity-sized practicalities included

Built, hosted and looked after - with a free preview before anything is decided.

A charity site here gets what small organisations usually struggle to keep on top of: design and build, UK hosting, email at your own domain (you@yourbusiness.co.uk), SSL, daily backups, security updates and every day-to-day change - a new trustee, a fundraising date, this month's newsletter.

The practical details that often hold small organisations back come sorted as standard: accessible structure, donation and volunteering journeys, forms that reach the right inbox, and content anyone on the committee can ask to have changed by emailing me.

On cost: don't let it stop you asking. I've supported local charities and community organisations for years, and money is never the starting point of the conversation. If you have a charity project, get in touch - we may well be able to help.
