Striped Horse

Nonprofit Website Design and Development

Nonprofit organizations and charities operate with purpose, limited resources, and high expectations from every audience they serve. Your website needs to earn trust instantly, communicate your mission with clarity, and convert visitors into donors, volunteers, and advocates. Striped Horse designs and develops nonprofit websites that are built to perform, combining strategic design, strong branding, and results-driven digital marketing to help your organization grow its impact online.

What We Do for Nonprofit Organizations

Nonprofit organizations serve multiple audiences at once: donors evaluating where to give, volunteers looking to get involved, board members assessing credibility, and the communities you exist to support. Each audience needs something different from your website. Striped Horse brings together branding, nonprofit web design and development, and digital marketing under one team so every part of your digital presence works together toward the same goal.

Nonprofit branding

Your brand is how the world understands your mission before they read a single word. We build cohesive nonprofit branding systems including logo design, visual identity, color systems, typography, and brand guidelines that give your organization the credibility and consistency it needs to earn trust at every touchpoint.

Web Design

We design custom nonprofit websites that are visually compelling, easy to navigate, and built to serve every audience your organization reaches. From charity web design to complex nonprofit portals, from program pages and impact storytelling to event listings and volunteer sign-up flows, every design decision is made with clarity and purpose in mind.

Web Development

We build nonprofit websites on WordPress and Webflow with performance, accessibility, and long-term maintainability at the core. This includes ADA compliance, fast load times, mobile responsiveness, and integrations with donation platforms, CRM tools, and event management systems. Your team should be able to manage and update the site with ease after launch.

UI/UX Design

Nonprofits have more distinct user types than almost any other organization. A donor, a volunteer, a program beneficiary, and a board member all visit the same website with completely different needs. We design user experiences that guide each audience to the right information and the right action, without friction.

Donation Page and CRO

A well-designed donation page can be the difference between a visitor leaving and a supporter giving. We design and optimize donation flows, landing pages, and conversion paths specifically for nonprofit organizations, reducing drop-off and increasing the number of visitors who take meaningful action.

Digital Marketing for Nonprofits

A great website needs to be found. We offer SEO, PPC, email marketing, and content creation tailored to nonprofit budgets and goals. Whether you need to grow organic traffic, retain existing donors through email campaigns, or reach new supporters through paid channels, we build strategies around what actually moves the needle for mission-driven organizations.

Brands we've built for

Design and Development Under One Roof

Your brand, your website, and your marketing strategy are built together by the same team. No vendor juggling, no miscommunication, no inconsistencies between what was designed and what gets built.

Built for Every Audience You Serve

Nonprofit websites serve donors, volunteers, board members, and program beneficiaries all at once. We design information architecture that gives each audience a clear path without making the site feel cluttered or overwhelming.

Built to Convert From Day One

We come from a marketing background and it shows. Every layout, every user flow, and every call to action is built to turn website visitors into donors, volunteers, and advocates for your cause.

Multi-Platform Expertise

Fluent across WordPress, Webflow, Drupal, and more. We recommend what is right for your organization, not what is easiest for us.

Experience with Mission-driven Organizations

We have worked with nonprofits including Positive Impact Health Centers, Petco Love, and the California Native Plant Society, delivering web experiences that meet the unique demands of mission-driven organizations from ADA compliance to complex multi-audience UX.

We Stay After Launch

We stick around after go-live with ongoing support for updates, optimizations and new features. No starting over with someone new every time something needs to change.

01.
Discovery and Strategy
We begin by getting to know your organization: your mission, your audiences, your goals, and the challenges your current website is creating. This phase includes stakeholder interviews, competitor research, audience mapping, and keyword strategy so the entire project is grounded in what your nonprofit actually needs to succeed online.
02.
Design and Prototyping
Our design team creates wireframes and visual prototypes tailored to your brand and your users. You will see exactly how the site looks and flows before a single line of code is written. We design with donors, volunteers, and community members in mind at every step, ensuring the experience is clear, accessible, and on-mission.
03.
Development and QA
Once the design is approved, our development team builds your nonprofit website on the platform that best fits your organization, whether that is WordPress, Webflow, or another CMS. Every build goes through rigorous quality assurance testing across devices, browsers, and screen sizes, including ADA accessibility standards.
04.
Launch
We manage the full launch process so nothing falls through the cracks. This includes final testing, performance checks, redirect setup, analytics configuration, and a coordinated go-live to make sure your new site is ready from day one.
05.
Ongoing Support
Your website is not a one-time project. After launch, we offer ongoing support, nonprofit website maintenance, and growth services to keep your site fast, secure, and continuously improving as your organization evolves.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"They're great in every category, and not only the work they do is great, but they are very accommodating and communicative. I was very fortunate to have Danielle leading the web development team-- it was no easy task to take over a year-long project along with a bunch of new devs to work with into a working product in less than two months' time. One of the challenging project-wise for our university website project and she got the team doing good work and managed to get where we need to be. I will continue to work with her!"

Bryce Chapman

"They helped to make our website redesign a success. Danielle was a very quick communicator and patient with our team throughout the entire process. She was knowledgeable and always able to clearly answer my (many!) questions. Our team is very happy with the outcome of our new website.

I can't say enough good things about working with the Striped Horse team in designing a new website for our Center at Stanford. They were fantastic -- really responsive, creative and solutions-oriented, hard-working and on-the-ball in all aspects of managing and executing a complex project like this. Their rates are quite reasonable given the incredible value you get from the work. And the outcomes are terrific - they created a great-looking, user-friendly site designed to optimize for our goals. My strong recommendation is: do not delay, and try to get the Striped Horse team to work with you on your project! You can't do better, and you won't regret it.
