Charity Website Development for Purpose-Driven Organisations

Build an accessible, engaging website that helps your cause raise more, reach further and create real impact.

Beautiful, accessible websites that help charities and not-for-profits raise more, reach further and create lasting impact. Built on Umbraco CMS, we give you complete flexibility, powerful integrations and the confidence that your site can grow with your mission.

The digital challenges facing charities and NFPs

Your cause deserves a platform that works as hard as you do, yet many charity websites fall short. Outdated CMS tools, inaccessible design, and disconnected systems make it difficult to reach supporters and measure success.

Common pain points:

  • Difficult to update or maintain content internally
  • Poor accessibility or mobile performance
  • Limited integration with CRMs, donation tools or event systems
  • Low search visibility and inconsistent branding
  • No clear insight into visitor behaviour or conversion performance

 

Our four-step approach to building a website that delivers

We’ve helped charities and NFPs of all sizes transform their online presence through a process built around collaboration, insight and measurable results.

We start with your goals, audiences and mission. Through workshops and stakeholder interviews, we define what success looks like and create a clear digital roadmap.

Design & Accessibility

What our clients say

Lara Coffey

One Dance UK

"The team’s ability to work with both our staff team, stakeholders, and our wider membership in building the website has resulted in a website that is not only visually striking but highly functional and accessible and the feedback from our members and other users has been really positive!”

Barbara Gray

Wiltshire Air Ambulance

“It was very apparent that Digital Wonderlab understood the world of charity and our needs – they just get it. We drew up a wish list of solutions, but the main thing was that they understand the charity perspective.”

Janine Woodward-Grant

The Carers' Centre

"We're so glad we found Digital Wonderlab to partner with. They really listened to what we were trying to achieve, worked to upskill us as a team in user-led design, and engaged in helping us tell our story while delivering a fantastic site for our users! We're looking forward to working with them much more in the future."

Rachel Morgan

Cerebral Palsy Cymru

“Digital Wonderlab took time to understand who we are and where we needed to be; we are a small charity and didn’t think such a project would be achievable. They were able to help us see the possibilities and talked to us in a way that made sense – they have incredible experience in technology transformation and always put people at the centre of what we were doing. A great blend of strategic thinking and the practicalities around how this would work for us.”

Tracey Gurr

Charlie Waller Trust

"Our objective was clear: we needed to find a way to encapsulate 23 years of history, borne out of tragedy, and transform this into a charity suited to the needs of the 21st century. We have achieved exactly that working with the team at Digital Wonderlab."

Carrie Green

Charlie Waller Trust

"Digital Wonderlab just get the world of charity, and how we work. Money is difficult to raise, it is very time consuming and it needs to be invested wisely as many people are involved. I always felt that the team had our back and provided a safe pair of hands throughout the process. They brought in the necessary partners we needed to complete the first stage of our digital journey"

Got some questions?

How long does it take to build a charity website?

Typical builds take 8-16 weeks depending on complexity (content migration, integrations, design rounds). We’ll provide a detailed timeline after our discovery phase.

Can you work with our brand guidelines?

Yes – we’ll strengthen your existing identity or help you evolve it.

Can you migrate our existing content?

Absolutely. We can clean it up, reorganise it, or rewrite it for better results.

Will we be able to update the website ourselves?

Definitely. We build in Umbraco CMS, which is designed to be easy to use, even for non-technical teams. We also offer training and support so you feel confident from day one.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

We do. We offer maintenance, hosting, and support packages so your website stays secure, up to date, and performing well – and so you always have someone to call.

How much does a typical charity website cost?

It depends on your needs, but we offer reduced rates for charities and can tailor our approach to your budget. We’re happy to talk this through on a free call.

What about accessibility compliance?

We target WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a baseline, include accessibility testing and audit/reporting as part of the project.
