Every site we build is fully-equipped. Your nonprofit website will be integrated with your CRM or donation platform, accessible, secure, designed and built just for you, responsive, SEO-ready, and backed by research. Below we address more questions you may have.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely. First, you’ll send us a deposit to begin work. Then, our fees are structured so you pay a portion of the total cost as we get to each project phase. We know you may have unique circumstances, so if needed, we can also work with you to offer payment plans for up to one year.
How long does a website design take?
It depends! A lot contributes to a timeline estimate: your project scope, your communication style and availability, and your existing branding and content. Generally, it could take anywhere from a month or more, but we’ll be able to give you a more solid answer after you have your initial free consultation with us.
Can I skip the research phase?
There are multiple packages available for your organization, ranging from a light project to a more robust one. Keep in mind, though, that the research phase is necessary to provide a delightful user experience. With research, you will see results that far surpass simply having a beautiful website. The research for your project can be light and simplified or can be all-inclusive, but either way, it is required. Read Why is UX Design Crucial for Your Organization?
I’m not 100% sure about all of this. Should I have my website redesigned by an expert?
We're biased, but since you asked: A website redesign is a big undertaking, but the benefits of choosing professionals to complete the project far outweigh the costs. Not only will you have a new visual look, but your site will be more secure, perform better, and will provide a better user experience. Need more info?

I need something very specific added to my site, like a private portal or something else. Can you do this for me?
Since we build your site from scratch, the sky's the limit. Whether you need a private portal for your board members or a volunteer dashboard or something else, we will provide a solution. During your initial free consultation, we can discuss the scope of your project.
Will my website be optimized for SEO?
Absolutely! We build your site to be Search Engine Optimization (SEO) friendly. While optimizing for SEO is an ongoing task, you can rest assured knowing the backend structure of your site fully supports your SEO efforts.
Will you design my website to be accessible and ADA compliant?
Yes. Creating accessible websites is very important to us as web experts. Throughout the entire project journey, we will audit your existing site to see how it can be improved for accessibility. We will also build and design your site so it will meet A, AA, or AAA levels of accessibility standards.
How do I communicate with you during the project?
All of our projects are managed through our private client portal, which we use to keep track of everything. This is an optimal way to communicate, so everything is in one place. We can still communicate by email, and everything will be documented through the portal.
