Nonprofit website design · Louisville + Southern Indiana
Nonprofit websites that turn interest into action.
A nonprofit website should help a person get support, volunteer, donate, attend, partner, or contact the right person without guessing. I build accessible websites around those actions, with staff editing tools and training defined in the project scope.
Nonprofit client work 実績
Public websites built around the work each organization needs to explain.
For The Domino Affect, I built the brand system and website, including staff-managed content, an admin portal, staff training, and ownership of the code and data.
For The Accountability Foundation, I built a focused public path for The A.C.C.O.U.N.T. Model™, its intended audiences, and ways to connect.
The job of the website 目的
Every important visitor should know what to do next.
The navigation, page structure, forms, and calls to action are organized around audience needs, not internal departments.
Turn interest into participation
Give volunteers, partners, donors, and event attendees a clear path to act while the motivation is present.
Give staff control
Define which content staff can update, the tools and permissions they need, and the training and handoff included in the project.

Clear starting prices
A practical starting point for a small team.
Custom nonprofit website
Starting at $3,500
A website built around the mission, programs, and next steps that matter to your organization. Copy, design, development, and launch are scoped together.
Ongoing website care
$150 per month, or $450 per month total with monthly media
Monthly care is separate from the initial website build. Managed hosting and agreed updates are included in both plans. The $450 total adds one on-location session of up to one hour each month and selected media updates to the website.
Volunteer management, grant operations, custom portals, donation-platform connections, and other operational systems are scoped separately. The final page count, editing tools, integrations, responsibilities, and delivery schedule are agreed before the build.
Before the build
Agree on what launch needs to include.
Use the small nonprofit website checklist to work through visitor actions, program pages, donation ownership, volunteer follow-up, accessibility, permissions, and the handoff. It includes a printable launch review.

Website questions 質問
What small nonprofit teams usually need to know.
- How much does a nonprofit website cost?
- Custom nonprofit websites start at $3,500. Monthly care is separate from the initial build: $150 per month for managed website care, or $450 per month total for care plus one media session of up to one hour each month. Page count, editing tools, content responsibilities, and connections determine the final scope. Explore the website engagement and care plans.
- What should our team prepare before asking for a quote?
- Start with your current website, the audiences you need to serve, and the next action each visitor should take. Identify who approves content, who will make routine updates, and which donation or other platforms you already use. Include your target timing and any fixed event date. The five-part nonprofit website brief gives your team a place to start.
- Can staff update the website after launch?
- Yes, where the agreed content system supports it. I define the content staff need to edit, configure permissions, and provide training for those tasks. Staff editing access does not mean every design, code, or integration change can be made without technical help. Your proposal defines the editing tools, code and account handoff, and ongoing care or separately quoted work. For The Domino Affect, the delivered work included content tools, an admin portal, and staff training. Before handoff, agree on a routine update the intended editor should be able to complete, such as changing a program description or event date.
- Can the site connect to our donation platform?
- The website can link to the giving platform your organization already uses or approves. The Domino Affect website links public giving to Givebutter. An embedded form or custom connection must be reviewed, scoped, and tested before it is included, based on the platform's supported options and the account access available. The organization keeps control of its giving account; mu works does not process donations itself.
- Does a website package include volunteer or grant management?
- Those systems are scoped separately. A public website can explain programs and direct someone to express interest. Screening, placement, shift scheduling, verified participation, and grant operations need their own workflow and ownership decisions. I define that boundary before the build so your team knows what the website will handle.
- Will the website be accessible and mobile friendly?
- Responsive and accessible development are part of the build approach. Exact testing standards and any third-party content limitations are documented in scope.
- Do you only work with nonprofits in Louisville?
- mu works is based in New Albany and primarily serves Louisville, Southern Indiana, and nearby communities. Remote projects can be considered when the scope and ownership model fit.
