Craft CMS for Charities & Nonprofits

A charity website as committed to your cause as you are.

A big part of my career has been spent building websites for charities, conservation organisations, and mission-driven non-profits, so I understand the constraints.

Tight budgets, volunteer staff, trustee scrutiny: I get it. I build websites that work within those constraints and still deliver.

Built for the way charities actually work

Charity websites have demands that commercial sites often don’t. Donations need to be effortless, the people editing are often volunteers, and it all has to be affordable without compromising on quality.

  • Anyone on your team can manage it

    Your team can update content confidently, without calling a developer and without breaking anything.

  • Donations built into your site

    Donations, memberships and shop orders can all run through one Craft site. Garden Organic’s does exactly that, and brought in an extra £17,000 in donations in a month after launch.

  • Security you don’t have to think about

    A smaller footprint means fewer automated attacks reach your site. Security is built in from the ground up, not bolted on as an afterthought.

  • Fast, accessible, and responsive by default

    A well-built Craft site loads fast and works for everyone, on any device, screen readers included.

Charities I’ve built for…

I’ve had the privilege of working with some truly amazing charities including:

The site won several awards, and Seth was a huge part of this success. He’s extremely skilled and knowledgeable, a good communicator, very efficient and a really lovely person to work with. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

How I can help

Whether you need a new site built from scratch, a migration away from a creaking WordPress installation, or ongoing maintenance so your existing site stays secure, I can help.

My support and maintenance plans are particularly popular with smaller charities who need a reliable developer without the cost of an agency. They start from just £100/​month.

Common questions

Don’t see your question here? Email me and I’ll get back to you.

  • Yes. Donations, memberships and shop orders can all run through Craft, connected to the payment provider and CRM you already use. Garden Organic’s site works exactly this way.

  • Yes. Everyone gets their own login and a role, so a volunteer can draft a news story while only staff can publish it. Content goes into structured fields rather than a blank page, so the design stays intact whoever is editing.

  • Yes. Tell me the deadline and any reporting milestones up front and I’ll plan the build around them, with a fixed quote you can put straight into the application.

  • It might be. If your current site mostly works, a maintenance plan from £100/​month to keep it secure and up to date may be the better use of your budget. I’ll tell you honestly which I think fits.

  • You do. The code, the content and the domain are yours, so if we ever part ways you can take the site to another developer without starting again.
