Common challenges
Does this sound familiar?
No website yet — or on a free builder
Many charities launch on Wix or WordPress.com, then outgrow it once donors and grant bodies start scrutinising their web presence. A professional site significantly improves credibility with funders.
Website that can't accept donations online
If a supporter visits your site after a campaign and can't easily donate or set up a Gift Aid-eligible regular gift, you're losing income. We build every charity site with donation-ready functionality.
Grant applications failing the "digital check"
Many grant bodies — including the National Lottery, government contracts, and corporate CSR programmes — informally assess charities online before shortlisting. A weak web presence costs grants.
Can't be found by the people you help
If someone searches "housing support charity Manchester" or "food bank near me", can they find you? We build every charity site with local SEO and structured data so beneficiaries and donors can find you in Google and AI search.
What's included
Everything in the £1,000 charity package

Stripe, JustGiving, or PayPal Giving Fund integration with Gift Aid declaration form.
WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
Keyboard navigable, screen reader friendly, and contrast-compliant — required for many grant eligibility criteria.

From brief to live. We provide a content guide on day one to keep things on track.
Charity-specific
Built for how charities actually work
Online donations & Gift Aid
JustGiving embeds, Stripe donate buttons, and PayPal Giving Fund integration. Every donation form includes a HMRC-compliant Gift Aid declaration so your charity automatically claims the 25% government top-up.
WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
Required by the Equality Act 2010, and increasingly a formal requirement for National Lottery Community Fund and government contract applications. Our builds meet AA standard as default, not an add-on.
AI & Google search visibility
We build every site with structured data (Organisation, Event, FAQPage schema) so your charity appears correctly in Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and standard search — for both cause searches and location searches.
Volunteer recruitment
A dedicated volunteer section with role descriptions, sign-up forms, and skills matching. Volunteer inquiries go directly to your nominated inbox — no third-party platform required.
Charity Commission compliance
Charity number, registered name, trustee information, and annual report links displayed as recommended by the Charity Commission. We know the transparency requirements and build them in from the start.
GDPR for charities
A cookieless-by-default setup, ICO-compliant privacy notice, and consent-based email signup — protecting your beneficiary and supporter data and keeping your ICO registration clean.
How it works
From enquiry to live in 3–4 weeks
Enquiry & eligibility
You share your charity registration number — we verify on the Charity Commission register (takes minutes) and confirm your £1,000 price.
Brief & content guide
We send a simple content brief: your mission, key pages, and any logos or photos. Most charities complete it in under an hour.
Design & build
We design and build your site — mobile responsive, accessible, and SEO-ready. You see a staging preview before anything goes live.
Review & revisions
You give us feedback. We include two rounds of revisions to make sure everything is right.
Launch
We publish your site, submit it to Google Search Console, and hand over the keys. Your 12 months of technical support begins on launch day.
Charity website design — questions answered
How much does a charity website cost in the UK?
With Elite Digital Agency, a charity website costs £1,000 all-inclusive — that's our Starter Launch package for registered UK charities (Charity Commission, OSCR, or CCNI registered). Standard Starter Launch is £1,500. Bespoke charity websites with custom integrations, e-commerce, or advanced donation functionality start from £3,495. All prices include design, build, mobile optimisation, SEO setup, and one year of technical support.
What features should a charity website include?
A charity website should include: a clear mission statement and impact evidence, a prominent donation button or fundraising page, Gift Aid declaration capability, an events and news section, a volunteer sign-up form, Trustpilot or testimonial evidence, charity registration number and trustees information for transparency, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance, and structured data (schema markup) to appear in Google and AI search results.
Do charities get a discount on web design?
Yes — we offer registered UK charities a £500 discount on our Starter Launch website, bringing the all-inclusive price to £1,000 (standard price £1,500). The discount applies to organisations registered with the Charity Commission (England & Wales), OSCR (Scotland), or CCNI (Northern Ireland). CICs are considered on request. Just provide your registration number when enquiring.
How long does it take to build a charity website?
Our Starter Launch charity websites go live in 3–4 weeks from kickoff. Larger custom charity websites typically take 6–10 weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly content (mission statement, photos, team bios, impact stats) is provided. We send a content brief on day one to keep things moving.
Do you set up online donation pages?
Yes. We integrate with JustGiving, PayPal Giving Fund, Stripe, and GoFundMe Charity. We can set up a dedicated donation page on your website, embed a JustGiving widget, or configure a Stripe-powered donation form. All options support Gift Aid declarations so your charity captures the 25% gift aid top-up.
Do charity websites need to be accessible (WCAG)?
Yes — WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility is increasingly required for charity websites, particularly those applying for lottery funding, public sector grants, or Equality Act compliance. All our charity websites are built to WCAG 2.1 AA standards: proper heading structure, alt text, keyboard navigation, sufficient colour contrast, and screen reader compatibility.
Can you build a website for a newly registered charity with no content yet?
Absolutely — we work with newly registered charities frequently. We provide a content brief to guide you, and can write your homepage and about page copy as part of the package. Many new charities come to us immediately after Charity Commission registration, and we have the process streamlined for quick launches.
