Amplify your cause: Effective not-for-profit website development
Building impactful websites for medical, health, and not-for-profit organisations. Our team creates user-friendly designs to help you achieve your mission
When building a website for a not-for-profit organisation, it is important to consider how the website will represent the organisation’s goals and values. This can be achieved by clearly communicating the organisation’s mission and goals, making it easy for visitors to understand and build trust. The website should also make it easy for visitors to take action by providing clear calls-to-action for donating, volunteering, and signing up for newsletters. Additionally, security should be a key consideration when handling sensitive data such as donor information and financial transactions.
A not-for-profit website should be designed with the organisation’s mission and goals in mind. By prioritising clear communication, ease of use, and security, Butterfly help not-for-profit organisations create a website that effectively supports their mission and helps to build a strong community of supporters.

Accessibility for Not-for-profit
When building a website for not-for-profit organisations, accessibility is a critical consideration. To ensure that the website is accessible to all users, it is important to make the content easy to navigate and understand, by using clear and concise language, appropriate colour contrast and providing alternative text for images. Additionally, the website should be usable by people with a range of disabilities, by designing it with assistive technology in mind, such as screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.
By making their website accessible, we assist not-for-profit organisations to ensure that they are inclusive of all potential supporters, donors, and volunteers. This will help them effectively communicate their mission to a wide audience and achieve their goals. Therefore, following website accessibility design best practices is crucial when building a website for not-for-profit organisations, creating a website that is both functional and impactful.

Not-for-profit security
Website security is crucial for not-for-profit organisations as a compromised website can lead to data breaches and cyber-attacks, ultimately damaging the reputation of the organisation and losing the trust of supporters.
Butterfly help not-for-profit organisations with website security by offering a range of services and expertise in this area. Firstly, we can perform a comprehensive security audit of the organisation’s website, identifying any vulnerabilities or areas of weakness that need to be addressed. We can then recommend and implement appropriate security measures, such as secure hosting, SSL encryption, regular software updates, and robust access controls.
Additionally, Butterfly can provide ongoing monitoring and maintenance services to ensure that the website remains secure and protected from potential threats. This can include monitoring for suspicious activity, running regular backups, and testing the website’s security on an ongoing basis. We also provide training and support to staff and volunteers on best practices for website security and help to implement security policies and procedures. By working with us, not-for-profit organisations can ensure that their website is protected from security threats and that they can continue to build trust with donors, supporters, and other stakeholders.
