Help people understand the mission and get involved.

A donor may want to understand your work, a family may be planning a visit, and a member may be looking for an event. Each should find the right information without knowing how your organization is structured internally.

Our portfolio includes Merritt Parkway Conservancy, the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society, The Queally Foundation, and The Dalton Foundation. We bring that experience to mission content, program pages, donation and event connections, and WordPress publishing tools your staff can use after launch.

Connect your mission to the people who support it.

We start with your audiences, the questions they need answered, and the actions that matter to your organization.

Explain the mission

Turn organizational language into an immediate, human explanation of the need, the work, and the difference it makes.

Make action obvious

Guide people naturally toward donations, programs, events, membership, volunteering, advocacy, or contact.

Organize deep content

Structure programs, resources, news, impact, archives, and governance information so visitors can find it.

Empower the staff

Create sensible WordPress tools and content patterns that a small team can maintain without constant developer help.

Deliverables, integrations, and ongoing support are defined in your project proposal.

Common questions

Before we begin.

How much does a nonprofit website cost?

Our corporate and nonprofit website pricing starts at $25,000. The final scope depends on content migration, donation or event integrations, accessibility requirements, archives, and the number of people involved in reviews. A smaller project may fit the essential website scope described on our pricing page.

Can you work with our board and staff?

Yes. The process creates clear moments for broad input while establishing a smaller decision group so the project stays focused and moves forward.

Can you connect our donation and email systems?

Yes. Donation, event, email, CRM, and membership tools can be evaluated during discovery and included in the technical plan.

Will accessibility be considered?

Yes. Accessibility is part of content, design, development, and testing. A target standard and any formal compliance needs should be agreed at the start.
