Charities and trust-led organisations

A website your organisation can confidently stand behind

I build clear, dependable websites for charities and non-profits where accessibility, public trust and stakeholder approval matter. The process is calm, explainable and shaped around what your organisation genuinely needs.

What the website needs to do

Make important information easier to find and trust

A charity website may need to serve supporters, service users, funders, volunteers and trustees at the same time. Strong structure matters more than visual novelty.

Explain the mission

Help visitors quickly understand who you support, what you do and why the work matters.

Guide different audiences

Create clear routes for people seeking help, donating, volunteering or assessing the organisation.

Show accountability

Make governance, policies, impact and key organisational information straightforward to locate.

Stay maintainable

Avoid unnecessary complexity that makes everyday updates expensive or creates avoidable risk.

Accessibility from the outset

Designed for more people to use confidently

Accessibility is part of good public service, not a decorative extra. I build with logical headings, keyboard-friendly navigation, readable typography, sensible contrast and lightweight pages from the start.

The exact requirements are discussed during scoping, particularly where your organisation has formal accessibility obligations or users with specific needs.

The baseline includes

  • Semantic, logically ordered content
  • Responsive layouts and readable type
  • Visible focus and keyboard navigation
  • Performance on slower connections

Easy to explain internally

A process boards and stakeholders can follow

Decisions are documented in plain English, with a clear scope and sensible review points.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We identify your audiences, responsibilities, content, governance needs and practical constraints.

  2. 02

    Agree the scope

    I set out the pages, responsibilities, service option, price and ownership before work begins.

  3. 03

    Build and review

    I design and develop the website with clear points for stakeholder feedback and approval.

  4. 04

    Launch and support

    The website is tested and launched with an agreed plan for hosting, updates and future responsibility.

No pressure: I will not manufacture urgency or recommend features that make the website harder to approve, operate or maintain.

Choose the right support model

Built upfront, then supported in the way that fits

Charities can use the same core service routes as other clients, with the scope adapted to their audiences and governance needs.

Managed subscription

Suitable when you want hosting, maintenance, direct support and reasonable updates to existing pages included.

Managed growth

Suitable when your team can supply useful articles and wants help structuring, publishing and reviewing them.

One-off build

Suitable when the organisation prefers a project fee and can arrange hosting and future updates separately.

Common questions

Before we discuss the website

Do you work with small charities?

Yes. The useful starting point is the organisation’s needs and decision-making process, not its size. I will recommend a proportionate scope rather than unnecessary features.

Can trustees review the proposal?

Yes. I provide a clear scope, price, responsibilities and service terms that can be shared with decision-makers before work begins.

Do you guarantee a particular accessibility standard?

Accessibility is built into my normal approach, but formal conformance requirements must be agreed in the project scope so the necessary review and testing can be planned properly.

Can you support the website after launch?

Yes. Managed plans include hosting and ongoing care. A one-off build can also have separately agreed hosting or support if your organisation needs it.
