    What a nonprofit website has to do

    Donors want to see impact and give in under a minute. Clients want to know if they qualify, where to go and when. Volunteers want to sign up without a phone call, and board members and funders want financials. The site has to convert into donations, recurring gifts, volunteer applications, event registrations and program intake. Nonprofit sites usually break with donation pages that redirect to a slow third-party form, program information hidden in PDFs, an events calendar that stopped updating and accessibility problems that exclude the people the organization serves. Skyfield builds sites that work for every audience.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    What We Build Into Nonprofits Websites

    The page types, integrations and details that turn visitors into customers for nonprofits.

    Donation page templates

    Campaign, tribute, monthly and peer-to-peer giving pages connected to your processor.

    Program directory

    Filterable programs by need, age and location with structured data for search.

    Volunteer portal

    Opportunity listings, applications and shift signup synced to your volunteer software.

    Events calendar

    Built on the Right Platform

    WordPress fits most nonprofits because donation, event and volunteer plugins are mature and staff can update content without a developer. Drupal remains a good fit for large organizations with complex permissions or multilingual programs.

    WordPress

    Content-heavy sites, service businesses and anything that needs to be easy for your team to edit.

    Shopify

    Product catalogs, checkout and inventory for brands that sell online.

    Wix

    Smaller sites that need to launch fast on a managed platform.

    Drupal

    Larger organizations with complex permissions, content workflows and integrations.

    Custom

    Portals, calculators, booking flows and applications that no template handles well.

    Built to Rank From Day One

    Most redesigns lose rankings because the new site launches without the redirects, page structure and technical setup the old one had earned. Skyfield builds every website for nonprofits the way we would want to inherit it as your SEO team, because we are your SEO team.

    The site launches with clean URL structure, schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, tracking in GA4 and Search Console, and content written for the searches your customers make on Google and inside AI assistants.
