Charity Web Design experts
If you use Google products (i.e. Google Analytics or Adwords) then it’s likely that you’ve received an email from them about Google Consent Mode (v2) and instructing you to implement it. I work with websites every day and to be honest, I’m still confused about what it is that website owners actually need to do, […]
This time round we’ll make things a bit harder as the Greenpeace site has some elements that are a bit trickier to recreate. This time I’m trying something different and showing a split screen view as I try to create a layout similar to the Greenpeace one. Theirs has some interesting mouse hover effects on […]
This time we’re looking at the Shelter site, as of October 2023. Like the first two it’s actually quite a simple layout and I wouldn’t say that the design of it is particularly finessed but they are easy to use and accessible. I’m sure they change their content and layouts a lot and therefore having […]
Next up we’re looking at Save The Children (as of October 2023). Their site has the distinctive condensed font in uppercase, and the red and white colour scheme of the Save The Children branding. Again, we’re not trying to exactly replicate this page, we’re looking at some of the different WordPress content blocks to see […]
Let’s start off with an easy layout – the Cancer Research UK one. Their homepage changes regularly but here’s what it looks like in September 2023. It’s a nice and simple design. There’s a donation box as the main call-to-action at the top of the page, followed by three more boxes, followed by three more […]

They say a picture paints a thousand words and they can be an invaluable part of your website design and content. Photos can do a great job of portraying your work and conveying emotion. Some niches within the charity sector lend themselves well to photographs for use on their site. International development charities spring to […]
I’ve made a couple of these posts in previous years and I’ve been through the websites of the top 100 charities (it’s a fairly arbitrary list based on the charities with the highest income at the time) to identify patterns or themes in their designs. I’ve just gone through and taken screenshots of the same […]
The WordPress ‘Block editor’ (known within the WP community as ‘Gutenberg’) has been around since the launch of WP v5 in January 2019. It’s fair to say that it divided opinion at the time, with many developers feeling like it was being released before the bugs were ironed out, and whilst the user interface was […]
When emergency strikes you might find that your current website can’t handle the traffic that comes your way. Or you might want to create a new site that loads blazingly fast for anyone using even the slowest of mobile connections. Setting up a new WordPress/Drupal/other CMS site probably isn’t the best solution for your needs […]
