01 / The Problem
Your Mission Deserves a Website That Matches It.
Non-profits often have the most compelling stories of any organization — and the worst websites to tell them. Outdated, inaccessible, and hard to donate on, most non-profit sites fail the very people they're trying to reach. Here's what we fix:
- Donation process buried or broken — visitors who want to give can't figure out how
- Outdated design that undermines credibility with potential donors and grant committees
- No mobile optimization — supporters checking your site on their phone encounter a broken experience
- Poor storytelling — impact buried in text blocks instead of shown through stories and numbers
- Inaccessible design — failing the very communities you serve with poor contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support
- No volunteer recruitment flow — interested volunteers can't easily find opportunities or sign up

07 / FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We evaluate non-profit projects individually. For registered charities and community organizations with limited budgets, we often find ways to scope a project that delivers the highest-impact work within your means — prioritizing donation flow and mobile experience above all else. Reach out and we'll have an honest conversation about what's possible.
Yes. We integrate with Stripe (via custom forms or Stripe Checkout), Moneris, PayPal Giving Fund, Canada Helps, and Zeffy — depending on your donor geography and fee preferences. Zeffy in particular is popular with Canadian non-profits because it charges no platform fees. We recommend the right processor during discovery.
A custom non-profit or charity website typically ranges from $5,000–$15,000 CAD depending on scope. Sites with custom event management, membership systems, or bilingual content run $15,000–$30,000. We scope every project transparently and can phase work across budget cycles if needed.
Yes. WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is standard on all non-profit builds. This includes proper colour contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, alt text on all images, and accessible form design. Non-profits serve diverse communities — accessibility is a mission alignment issue, not just a compliance checkbox.
Yes. Impact storytelling is one of the areas we invest the most in on non-profit projects — visual impact counters, beneficiary story modules, program outcome displays, and annual report integration. We work with your communications team to figure out which stories and metrics move donors most, and we build the design infrastructure to tell them.
Most non-profit sites run 5–8 weeks from discovery to launch. Sites with custom event management, membership portals, or bilingual content run 8–14 weeks. We build a realistic timeline that accounts for your team's review capacity — non-profit stakeholder processes often involve boards and committees, and we factor that in.
Yes. We build custom event pages with registration forms, ticketing workflows, and payment processing — or integrate with your existing Eventbrite or similar setup. For organizations that run galas, fundraising events, or community programs, this is often the highest-traffic part of the site and we treat it accordingly.
