A great nonprofit website should inspire, inform, and spark action—but too many do the opposite.
One common mistake? Hiding the mission. Your site should clearly state who you are and why your work matters within seconds of loading. Visitors shouldn’t have to dig through tabs to understand your purpose.
Another misstep is cluttered design. Overstuffed pages, long blocks of text, and too many buttons can overwhelm users. Clean layouts, intentional whitespace, and focused calls-to-action create a better experience and guide visitors toward what matters.
Mobile-unfriendly design is another big one. With more than half of users visiting sites on phones, a lack of mobile optimization is a dealbreaker. Your site should be responsive, fast, and easy to navigate on any device.
Finally, many nonprofits bury their donate button or leave outdated info online. Keep calls-to-action visible, and regularly refresh content to maintain credibility. Your website should work as hard as you do—and we can help make that happen.
