Let’s Face It: Your Nonprofit Deserves Better
Nonprofits in Iowa do incredible work every day—supporting communities, advocating for change, and making a difference where it matters most. But here’s the thing: if your website looks like it came straight out of 2008, it’s probably not doing your organization any favors.
You wouldn’t send a volunteer into the field with no training or tools, so why settle for a website that doesn’t work as hard as your team?
Let’s talk about why a well-designed website isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a must-have for nonprofits.
Why Nonprofits Need a Website That Works
- Make Donations Easy: A clunky website can make it harder for people to give. Imagine someone who’s ready to donate and then gets lost in your confusing navigation or encounters a broken form. That’s literally money left on the table. A clean, user-friendly site can make donating as smooth as pie (and who doesn’t love pie?).
- Tell Your Story (Because It’s Awesome): People support nonprofits because of their mission and impact. Your website is the best way to showcase your story through photos, videos, and testimonials. Pro tip: Don’t bury your “About Us” section—it’s what pulls at people’s heartstrings.
- Recruit Volunteers and Sponsors: Whether it’s a Saturday cleanup crew or a big-time corporate sponsor, your website should have clear calls to action for getting involved. Remember: if they can’t find it, they won’t do it.
- Get Found on Google: Newsflash: If your nonprofit doesn’t show up in search results, you’re missing out on people looking for organizations like yours. That’s where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in. Hint hint, we’re pretty good at that.

Signs Your Nonprofit’s Website Needs a Glow-Up
- It doesn’t work well on mobile (and let’s be real, everything’s mobile these days).
- It takes more than 3 seconds to load. (That’s longer than people spend deciding what to order at Starbucks.)
- You can’t remember the last time you updated it.
- It doesn’t reflect the incredible work your nonprofit is doing.
