Nonprofits
with context.

For organisations where every pound spent on the website has to defend itself.

Constraints worth naming

What shapes the work
in this sector.

  • Gift Aid declarations and donation record-keeping
  • Fundraising regulator code compliance
  • Supporter data protection and consent
  • Grant reporting requirements

Nonprofit digital work operates under scrutiny that commercial teams rarely face. Spending is justified to trustees and, implicitly, to donors, which tends to produce sharper decisions.

The technical priorities are narrow and clear: the donation journey must be frictionless, the site must be accessible to everybody, and the content management must be usable by a small team with limited technical support.

What makes it different

The problems that
actually recur.

01

Donation friction is expensive

Each additional step in a giving flow measurably reduces completed donations.

02

Small teams, no developer

Whatever is built must be maintainable by two people with other jobs.

03

Accessibility is mission-aligned

Excluding disabled users from a public-good service is a contradiction, not just a compliance risk.

04

Campaigns arrive suddenly

Urgent appeals need pages published in hours without a developer.

What tends to work

Plays that pay off in nonprofits.

  • 01Reduce the donation journey to the minimum viable steps
  • 02Support one-off and regular giving with equal clarity
  • 03Build reusable campaign page templates the team controls
  • 04Integrate the CRM so gift data never needs re-entry
  • 05Meet WCAG 2.2 AA across donation and information journeys
Questions we get asked

Nonprofits, answered.

We scope to the budget rather than discounting a fixed scope, which we think is more honest. That usually means a smaller, sharper first phase focused on the donation journey, then improvements as funding allows.

Whichever one your finance and fundraising teams can reconcile without manual work, and which supports regular giving and Gift Aid cleanly. The integration into your CRM matters more than the platform brand.
