Web design for charities & fundraising events
Websites for UK charities, CICs and community groups that turn visitors into donors, fill fundraising events and make every pound of your budget count.
Why charity websites are different
A charity website is part fundraiser, part annual report, part box office. Donors judge your impact from your stories, your integrity from your transparency, and your events from how easy they are to book — usually on a phone, in under a minute.
Every pound of admin is a pound off the cause
Trustees rightly scrutinise spending. A website that takes donations, sells event tickets and registers volunteers automatically replaces hours of manual admin — and pays for itself in Gift Aid alone.
Donors give to stories, not organisations
People give when they see who benefits. We build impact pages with real stories, photos, running totals and 'where your money goes' breakdowns that turn a one-off visitor into a regular supporter.
Fundraising events live and die on visibility
A charity ball or sponsored walk has weeks to fill places. Event pages with online ticketing, sponsor showcases and shareable links get sign-ups moving the moment promotion starts.
Trust is everything in the charity sector
Charity Commission registration, safeguarding policies, annual reports and transparent accounts need to be one click away. We put your credibility front and centre so donors never have to hunt for it.
What we build for charities & fundraising teams
Every charity site starts with donations, events and trust, then gets shaped around your cause — whether you run an annual gala, a sponsored walk series or a year-round community programme.
Online donations & Gift Aid
One-off and monthly giving through JustGiving, Enthuse, Givey, PayPal Giving Fund or Stripe, with Gift Aid declarations captured at the point of donation and campaign appeals that track running totals.
Fundraising event pages & ticketing
Charity balls, quiz nights, fun runs, sponsored walks and gala dinners — each with its own page, online ticketing or registration, sponsor logos, countdowns and photo galleries after the event.
Impact stories & transparency
Beneficiary stories, 'where your money goes' breakdowns, annual reports and Charity Commission details presented clearly — the reassurance donors and grant funders look for before giving.
Volunteer & fundraiser sign-up
Registration forms for volunteers, corporate partners and sponsored-event participants, capturing skills, availability and t-shirt sizes — routed straight to your coordinator's inbox.
Events diary & campaign appeals
A simple events calendar you can update yourself, plus time-limited appeal pages for campaigns like Christmas appeals, emergency funds and matched-giving weeks.
Charity SEO & local reach
Pages for every cause, campaign and location you serve, Charity and Event structured data, and Google Business Profile alignment so supporters, funders and beneficiaries find you first.

From a first Google search to a monthly direct debit, we design every step of the supporter journey to be effortless — for your donors and for your team.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from charities and fundraising teams about websites, donations and event ticketing.
How much does a charity website cost?
Less than you might expect. A focused site with your story, donation button and events diary costs far less than a full build with online fundraising, ticket sales and a supporter portal. We quote a fixed price after a short call, and we actively check grant and funding schemes that can offset the cost for registered charities and community groups.
Can we take donations and Gift Aid through the website?
Yes. We integrate the donation platforms charities already trust — JustGiving, Enthuse, Givey, PayPal Giving Fund or Stripe — with Gift Aid declarations captured at the point of donation where the platform supports it. Your donors give in a few taps on any device.
Can we sell tickets for fundraising events online?
Absolutely. Charity balls, quiz nights, sponsored walks, fun runs and gala dinners all get their own event pages with online ticketing or registration, sponsor logos and a countdown. Each event becomes fresh content that helps the whole site rank and brings new supporters in.
Will people find our charity on Google?
That's the point of the build. We create dedicated pages for each cause, campaign and event, add Charity and Event structured data so Google understands what you do, and optimise for the searches supporters actually make — 'charity fun run near me', 'sponsored walk Yorkshire', 'local charity to support'.
Can volunteers sign up through the site?
Yes. Volunteer registration forms capture skills, availability and DBS status where relevant, and route enquiries straight to your coordinator's inbox. It replaces the spreadsheet-and-phone-tag approach most volunteer teams are stuck with.
Do you offer reduced rates for charities?
We keep charity builds lean and fixed-price so trustee boards can approve them without surprises, and we check website grants and digital funding schemes on your behalf before you commit. Tell us your charity number and what you're trying to raise and we'll be straight with you about what's achievable.
