Make a powerful impression
Non-profit organisations have done amazing things all over the world, from helping those in need to protecting the environment. With the boom in internet usage, non-profit organisations now have new avenues to spread the word about their cause.
That’s why having a website can be extremely helpful for a non-profit organisation. With a good website on your side, your organisation can tell its story, expand its reach, instil a strong impression, gain attention for your cause and offer people multiple options to donate.
Of course, a lot of thought needs to be put into the design of your website if you want it to make a powerful impression and let your organisation’s cause be heard. This is where a few non-profit website design best practices can come in handy.
Best practices for a good non-profit website design
Here are some best practices you can use when coming up with a website design for a non-profit organisation.
Write attractive web copy
One of the most important areas of website design is the web copy. Through your website copy, you want to tell visitors the story of your organisation in a compelling, meaningful and heartfelt way.
Here are a few ways to make your website copy more attractive:
- Keep the language simple and easy to understand
- Personalise your website copy to your target audience
- Avoid using any kind of industry-specific jargon
Showcase your organisation’s achievements
Simply talking about your organisation’s initiatives won’t be enough to bring attention to your cause. You’ll want to show proof of what your organisation has done to make a difference, which will help website visitors see the work you’re doing.
You can do this by;
- Adding compelling case studies for visitors to read
- Showing stories from people that you helped
- Sharing statistics, like the number of people you helped
Include clear CTAs
Like any website, your non-profit website design should include a Call-to-Action to tell visitors what you want them to do, such as giving a donation. In this case, your website’s CTAs must be easy to find and use.
This can be achieved by;
- Making CTAs prominent and putting them on top of the page
- Using compelling text, such as “Donate now” or “Make a Difference”
- Sticking with just one or two types of Calls-to-Action
