Your website is read before your application.
A grants officer opens it before shortlisting. A donor before giving. A trustee in a board meeting. Whatever they cannot find in two clicks, they hold against you. You don’t have to use AI. But AI is already describing you to donors and funders, and right now nobody on your board has checked what it says.
Websites for charities and nonprofits, built and looked after so they hold up when someone checks.
The argument
Most charities run the website as a leaflet. The people who matter treat it as a record: a funder reads it before a grant, a donor before a gift, a trustee before a vote. They are all asking the same quiet question. Can this organisation be trusted with money.

Funders check the same six things. They need to be present, current, and findable.

Impact
Evidence that something changed, not just that something happened.
Instead: the outcomes exist. They are in a PDF nobody links to.
Two clicks. Three things.

How it works
A build price given without an audit is a guess, and guesses get corrected at your expense.
-
Diagnose
Find out what a funder actually sees.
You book fifteen minutes. Then your site gets read the way a grants officer reads it, across the ten areas the audit scores, cross-checked against your regulator record. A written report lands, and a second call walks you through it line by line. Sometimes the verdict is that you do not need a rebuild.
- A written report
- A regulator cross-check
- A verdict call
-
Decide
Take one number to your board.
If a build is warranted you get one figure, one timeline, and a written scope stating exactly what is included and what is not. Nothing surfaces later. If the right answer is targeted fixes on a monthly arrangement rather than a rebuild, that is what the proposal says. If a build is not warranted, the report says so and there is nothing to decide. The audit fee is what it costs to find that out, and it buys you an answer either way.
- A fixed proposal
- A scope you can forward
- No obligation to build
-
Deliver
Built, then looked after.
Most rebuilds run six to twelve weeks from the point your content and approvals are signed off, and the scope comes out of the audit rather than out of a price list. Every account and credential is issued in your organisation's name as it is built, so the handover is clean from day one. After launch the optional Monthly Partnership is continuous work on the site: design and development capacity each month, plus the hosting, monitoring, updates and backups underneath it.
- A site you own outright
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- A written monthly report
The honest no
If the audit shows you do not need a rebuild, you will be told so. Losing the project is a better outcome than selling you one you did not need.
If you want a template live in a week, or a marketing agency chasing campaigns, this is not the right fit and you will be told that too.
Under £1 million income, or fewer than 20 staff? There is a fixed-price small charity website, with no audit first.
