Charity website design and advice
I build websites for charities and non-profits, and I advise them. I'm a charity trustee myself, so I know how far the money has to go.
Who it is for
Charities, choirs, community groups and other non-profits. Often there is nobody whose job is the website: a few staff, some volunteers and a board of trustees.
What you get
- A website your staff and volunteers can update themselves.
- Card payments, ticket sales and bookings, when you need them.
- Email set up so nobody can send fakes from your charity's address.
- Plain advice on websites, networking, choosing and buying software, regulatory compliance and data protection.
- Answers your trustees can follow. In my own charity work I answer to trustees who are not technical people.
How it works
Tell me what you have and what worries you. I'll tell you plainly what to do next.
If you need something built, I find out what your people need, design it, build it and look after it. If you only need advice, that is fine too.
What it costs to run
I keep things small, so running costs stay low. One charity I work with runs its website, ticket sales, members' area and sign-in on a single small server.
I do not list prices here yet. Tell me what you need and I will tell you what it costs to build and what it costs to run.
Questions people ask
What does a charity website cost?
It depends on what it has to do. A few pages of information cost far less than ticket sales and a members' area. I do not list prices here yet. Tell me what you need and I will give you a price to build it and a price to run it.
Can our volunteers update it?
Yes. They change the words and pictures from a simple editing screen. Nobody has to phone a developer.
What happens if you are not available?
Everything I build is tested and written down well enough for someone else to take over. I use standard, widely used tools, so another developer can pick it up.

Solent Gay Men's Chorus
A choir and registered charity. I built and run everything they have online: the website, ticket sales and the members' area. The committee updates the site itself, and tickets are sold with no ticket company's fee on top.
Tell me what you need
A few lines about the project is enough. I read every message myself. I meet people face to face within about 30 miles of Portsmouth, and work with organisations anywhere in the UK.
