New sites & redesigns

We build it.
Then we look after it.

Most people find us because something is broken. Some find us because the whole site needs replacing. We do both — and because we are the ones maintaining it afterwards, we build sites that are actually maintainable by the people who own them.

Talk about a new site   Just need care?

Three phases. No mystery.

A design-thinking process, run the same way whether the site is five pages or fifty. Timings below are typical for a mid-size nonprofit site.

1

Explore

Interviews with the people who matter — staff, families, donors, board. A content audit of what you already have, an SEO and analytics read, moodboards, and a real project schedule.

≈ 4 weeks · output: a visioning recap
2

Create

Black-and-white wireframe prototypes first, tested and revised. Then sitemap, UI design with accessibility built in from the start, copywriting for the key pages, and build specifications.

≈ 6–8 weeks · output: prototype & specs
3

Implement

Staging environment, a custom WordPress theme (not a bought template), content migration, mobile, WCAG 2.2 AA, QA, launch — plus recorded training so your team is not stuck.

≈ 6–8 weeks · output: a launched, tested site

What it costs.

Published rates, not a quote you have to prise out of us. Registered nonprofits pay our mission rate — it is policy, not a negotiation, and it is already taken off the figures below. These are not template-assembly prices. Every site is researched, designed and written from scratch, and the work behind them is why they hold up for years rather than months.

Focused site

Commercial price $21k–$29k

$15k–$20k

nonprofit rate · phased against milestones

  • A handful of pages, doing one job extremely well
  • Full discovery, original design, copywriting for the key pages
  • WordPress your own team can run, plus recorded training
  • WCAG 2.2 AA, screen-reader tested, 30 days post-launch support

Full build

Commercial price $43k–$86k

$30k–$60k

nonprofit rate · deposit then milestone payments

  • Full discovery, prototypes and user testing
  • Custom WordPress theme and a simplified admin
  • Multiple programmes or microsites unified under one domain
  • WCAG 2.2 AA, screen-reader tested, staff training recorded

The first year of care is included in every build, then from $199/month. Not a discount gimmick — the first twelve months are when a new site drifts, and we would rather be holding it than handing it over.
