Nonprofit Web Design

A professional website for your nonprofit.

Nonprofits are the connective tissue of healthy communities — and they're chronically underserved by the tech industry. We build professional websites for mission-driven organizations at rates that reflect what nonprofits actually work with, because great digital tools shouldn't be reserved for organizations with big budgets.

If your work makes this community better, we want to help you show up online the way you deserve. We've built sites for nonprofits across Eastern Iowa, and we approach every project the same way: figure out what you actually need, build it well, and price it honestly.

Why it matters

Strong communities need strong nonprofits — and strong nonprofits need to be findable.

Your donors, volunteers, and the people you serve are looking for you online. A professional website tells them who you are, what you do, and how they can help — clearly and credibly. It makes grant applications stronger. It makes donation drives more effective. It makes it easier for the right people to find you and get involved.

Most nonprofits we talk to have been making do with an outdated site, a social media page standing in for a real web presence, or a DIY solution that doesn't reflect the quality of their work. You don't have to keep making do. We build nonprofit websites that do the job — and we do it at rates that don't assume you have a corporate IT budget.

What we build

What a nonprofit site typically includes.

Every organization is different, but most nonprofit sites include some combination of:

  • Your mission and story — who you are, who you serve, and why it matters
  • Programs and services — what you do and how people access it
  • A donation page — a clear, easy path for supporters to give, connected to your payment processor of choice
  • Volunteer signup — so people who want to help know exactly how to get started
  • Event listings — fundraisers, community programs, drives, and anything else you want people to show up for
  • Grant and partner information — context for funders who are evaluating your organization
  • News or blog — if you want to share updates, stories, and impact
  • Your own domain name — yourorganization.org, not a subdomain on someone else's platform
  • Contact information and forms — so donors, volunteers, press, and the people you serve can all reach you easily

We'll have a conversation about what your site actually needs to do — and build exactly that.

Transparent pricing

What it costs.

We believe in transparent pricing. Every project is scoped individually, but we publish general guidance below so you have a realistic sense of what you're working with before we talk.

Hosting + maintenance

Includes one domain name, security monitoring, backups, software updates, and up to 3 hours/month of content changes — so keeping your site current doesn't become a project of its own.

Google Ad Grants

You may qualify for $10,000/month in free Google advertising.

Google's Nonprofit Ad Grants program offers eligible 501(c)(3) organizations up to $10,000 per month in free Google Search advertising — a meaningful way to get your mission in front of people who are already looking for what you do. We're happy to help our clients understand the program and apply.

How it works

How to get started.

01

Tell us about your organization

A quick call or a note is all it takes. Tell us about your mission, who you serve, and what you need your website to do. We'll give you an honest read on what makes sense and what it'll cost.

02

You send us your content

We'll tell you exactly what we need — your logo, photos, program descriptions, any copy you've already written. Don't have everything polished yet? We can work with what you have.

03

We build it

We handle design, development, and all the technical setup. Most sites are ready within a week or two of receiving your content.

04

You focus on your mission. We handle the rest

When something needs updating — a new program, a fundraising campaign, a staff change — we're one message away. You don't need to learn a website editor. You just reach out.
