We’ll jump on a 20-minute call to talk about your nonprofit and goals.
After going through a few questions about your organization, your audience, and what you want to mean to your community, we’ll explain how we work and you can ask us whatever you’d like.
If you’re ready for a free 20-minute strategy call, schedule it using the calendar below.
No two organizations share the same mission and community. No two organizations share the same communication needs and approach.
That’s why we always begin every website project with a Nonprofit Beacon.
In this 2-hour structured interview, we’ll connect the dots between your organization, your community, and what the future looks like for your organization.
After we’re finished, we’ll provide you with your 20+ page Nonprofit Beacon brief, which includes:
✅ What you should start doing and stop doing on your website to connect with your community
✅ An actionable blueprint containing your website visitor journey, suggested site map, and content gaps
✅ A customized roadmap for how to drive action online
Take the recommendations in your Nonprofit Beacon to implement everything yourself with confidence, or hire us to take care of it for you. No strings attached either way.
The cost of the Nonprofit Beacon gets applied toward your project if you decide to move forward working with us.
Depending on your organization’s goals, we’ll put together a custom package to help you get to where you want to go with your nonprofit.
This option is best for organizations that need a website that works at an affordable price. We’ll develop your brand, provide messaging guidelines, and create a design specifically tailored to connect with your community.
This package can include website design of your key pages, brand materials, content writing for your homepage, and assistance with subpage content writing to make sure you have the foundation needed for a website that connects.
Previous payment from the Nonprofit Beacon is applied to the cost.
This package helps organizations grow through refreshed branding and a new website. This package is our most popular service and fits the needs of most nonprofits we come across.
This package can include website design and development, brand messaging and materials, site structure planning, content writing, newsletter creation and optimization, and marketing collateral creation.

Nonprofits that have been running programs for at least 2 years with somewhere between $3M and $10M in annual revenue get the most benefit from the Nonprofit Beacon. Organizations we work with should also currently have a website that’s public and accessible. This is so we can make informed decisions regarding how to better reach your community and understand the landscape within which you plan to grow.
Nonprofits larger than $15M in annual revenue may need a different approach, depending on your goals for the site. Feel free to book a strategy call and we can provide suggestions for how we would approach your situation.
The Nonprofit Beacon includes 20+ pages of practical suggestions for how to improve your content, design, and website features so that you resonate with visitors. It also outlines your current content gaps, contains a visual visitor journey with problem areas highlighted, and provides a suggested sitemap. In short, the Nonprofit Beacon covers everything you need to create a strategic nonprofit website that allows your organization to grow.
The Nonprofit Beacon is the first step in our website creation process. It ensures that we create the right thing: a new website that can match your growth plans for the future. We require all new projects to start with the Nonprofit Beacon even if you’ve already decided you’d like to work together. (If you do move forward with us, the cost of the Beacon will be deducted from your project price, so there’s no difference in total investment.)
Not at all! The Nonprofit Beacon is designed to be completely transferable and actionable for everyone. Plenty of organizations work with us just for the Nonprofit Beacon with no intention of building the website together. You’re welcome to take the information in your Nonprofit Beacon and implement things internally, use it as your roadmap with another agency, or refer to it as the basis for an RFP.
The Nonprofit Beacon session is 2 hours long. Ten days afterward, we’ll send you your completed Nonprofit Beacon brief. We’ll then meet for an additional 30 minutes where we can answer any questions you have about the document.
All three of the above packages begin with the Nonprofit Beacon ($495). The Beacon is what ensures we create a website that meets the needs of your organization while matching the expectations of your community. With the blueprint outlined in the Nonprofit Beacon, your organization will illuminate the path forward for all of your community to see.
