Non-profit organizations provide essential services to communities and various demographics of people. Whether it's a large, well-known organization like Habitat for Humanity, a local food shelf, a group that offers various supports for people going through cancer treatments, or a historical site, our country and cities wouldn't be the same without them.
As a website designer with a previous business background of 18 years, I feel that non-profits deserve the same consideration as larger corporations with big budgets. However, I also understand that not-for-profits don't have a lot to spend on website design and marketing. When you work with my company DreamWeaver Studio, I guarantee that my work will be both professional and affordable.
Consider the Audience for Your Non-Profit Website
When online users search for a charitable organization to donate to, volunteer at, request assistance from, or to simply visit, they will most likely choose to go through a website that comes up on the first page of search engine results. This is no different than any other type of business. If your non-profit doesn't have a website yet, it is truly missing out on the opportunity to make these important connections.
Before I begin designing your website, I get to know you, the non-profit organization you represent, and its vision. The latter is especially important to ensure that your website sends the right message to people from the moment they click on the link. Not only will your website be helpful, professional, and attractive, it will be easy to navigate as well.
Make the Website Easy to Find for Everyone
Whether you want the website to primarily speak to donors, volunteers, people in need, visitors, or a combination of these, trusting your marketing efforts to an established web design company like DreamWeaver Studio will ensure that they can find it. People will access your website in more varied ways than they would a website for a typical for-profit business.
For example, a social worker could pull up your website on a desktop or laptop computer while a potential donor or someone looking to visit a historical site may be more likely to use a mobile device. Those in need of help may even access the website on a public computer. I will make sure that your site displays correctly on all types of devices as well as on private and public computers.
If you intend to accept donations online, you can feel confident that sensitive donor information will remain secure. I work with DUDA, a responsive and highly secure website platform. Additionally, I will help your non-profit organization get established on
Google My Business,
a free resources that shows detailed local information. Customers will find answers to their questions promptly on your website and your Google My Business listing. This gives them the confidence to follow through with contacting your non-profit.
A Professional Suite of Secure Services at a Price Your Non-Profit Can Afford
Although WordPress
is a popular web design platform used by many non-profits today, its use of open source software increases security vulnerabilities. Because I take the security of client websites very seriously, I have chosen to form a partnership with DUDA, a responsive design website platform. These websites are easy to manage, and maintain.
They include loads of widgets and are SEO-friendly.
My long career in business before becoming a website designer gives me unique insight into how administration works in many types of industries. I invite you to view the websites I have created for other non-profits and then
