Website development for charities.
Charity sites with donation flows that look like £10k+ builds.
Website development. Built for charities.
Charity websites have a specific job: convert visitors into donors, volunteers, or service users. Most charity sites we audit are built on free WordPress themes with bolted-on JustGiving widgets that look amateur next to bigger charities competing for the same audience.
We build custom charity sites with bespoke tiered donation flows (Stripe + GoCardless, Gift Aid built in, recurring donations), accessibility-compliant booking forms (WCAG-aware, safeguarding fields where needed), volunteer-friendly CMS so your team can edit content without breaking the design, and proper schema markup so the right pages rank for "[charity area] support".
Most charity sites ship at £1,500–£4,000, take 3–5 weeks. The Mending Lines build is the case study.
