Charity sector websites

Need a website for your charity or non-profit organisation? Our specialist third sector website design and development services turn visitors into supporters and interest into donations. We improve user experience, enhance fundraising journeys and enable highly optimised donation funnels, maximising your online impact so you can focus on the work that really matters.

What makes a good charity website?

Clear messaging and Calls-to-Action

Making your mission clear and compelling helps people know what you stand for, with effective calls to action to increase conversions.

Effective storytelling

Connection to real people and stories demonstrates exactly what you do, boosting trust and engagement.

Optimised donation process

Well designed donation funnels are simple to use, keeping users engaged and helping you to track where your conversions are coming from.

Seamless User Experience

When people get lost, they leave. Making sure your website is designed for easy and accessible navigation while functioning as it should on all devices attracts engaged traffic, improving retention and conversions.

Modern, easy-to manage websites

An up-to-date content management system means straightforward page updates, keeping you current.

Responsiveness and accessibility

A website needs to be able to adapt. Making sure yours can be used on different devices and by everybody, keeps you compliant with regulations, user friendly and optimised for search engines.

What can we offer your charity or Not-For-Profit?

Our charity website services are designed to help you reach more people, improve supporter journeys and manage your website with confidence. Whether you need a new website, ongoing support or targeted improvements, we can help you get more value from your digital presence.

Charity website development

Our web development services are tailored to your needs, including custom and AI-powered features. From donation processes and volunteer signups to software development and content management, we’ll make your charity’s website work for you.

We connect charity websites with the tools your team already uses, including CRMs, donation platforms, email marketing systems, event platforms and volunteer management tools. This helps reduce manual admin and improve the way data moves between systems.

For charities with members, supporters, branches or local groups, we can build secure membership areas, gated content, user dashboards and community features that support engagement while keeping management simple for your team.

We design and build campaign websites and landing pages for fundraising appeals, awareness campaigns, events and urgent response work. These can be created as standalone microsites or integrated into your main website.

Charity website design

At Pedalo, we create websites that look great and work just as well. Our bespoke and accessible design ensures a positive user experience and intuitive interface to create connection between you and your audience.

Before a rebuild or major project, we can help you understand what your charity really needs from its website. This can include stakeholder workshops, user journey mapping, technical audits, content reviews, analytics analysis and a clear roadmap for improvement.

Many charity websites become difficult to manage over time. We can help review, simplify and restructure your content so users can find what they need, your team can manage the site more easily, and valuable pages are protected during redesigns or migrations.

Accessibility is essential for charity websites. We can audit your site against recognised accessibility standards, identify barriers for users, and help improve templates, content, forms and user journeys so your website works better for everyone.

Charity website hosting

Reliable hosting solutions that support you. Round the clock monitoring ensures your site stays fast, accessible and secure so you can focus on the work that really matters.

We help charities improve website speed, hosting efficiency and technical performance. A faster, leaner website gives users a better experience, supports SEO and can reduce the environmental impact of your digital activity.

Charity website support & maintenance

Our approach to support and maintenance is backed by clear SLAs and flexible retainers, giving you confidence in response times and ongoing support.

If your current charity website is slow, difficult to update, insecure or no longer fit for purpose, we can help stabilise it and create a clear improvement plan. This may include technical fixes, CMS updates, plugin reviews, hosting improvements and design enhancements.

Charity marketing & growth

Our charity SEO and PPC expertise improves your performance at every step of the funnel. We’ll help you reach your target audience and support what really matters to you.

We help charities improve their online donation journeys, making it easier for supporters to give and helping reduce drop-off. This can include donation page design, third-party donation platform integration, conversion tracking, Gift Aid considerations and ongoing improvement recommendations.

We set up and improve analytics tracking so charities can better understand what users are doing, where supporters come from and which journeys are working. We can also provide regular reporting with practical recommendations.
