Charity Web Design experts
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been tasked with “sorting out the website”. I appreciate that it’s not always the most enjoyable job, and in many cases it’s a big project to add for someone who’s already wearing a lot of other hats. Your website is your shopfront and a sizable investment, so there’s […]
When you’re browsing the web looking for inspiration for your charity website design, you’ll notice that you can broadly categorise designs/layouts into two types: ‘bespoke’ and ‘modular’. Lots of brand/product sites tend to have a bespoke/custom design, whereas blogs, newspapers and charity websites tend to be a bit simpler and more modular. Most brand/product sites […]
Over 10 years ago, I wrote a blog entitled ‘How to Brief a Copywriter’. The contents of that blog are still relevant today, which explains why it’s still being viewed. But the reality is that writing a decent brief isn’t easy. You’ll need to allow yourself time and headspace because what you get out of […]
We’ve been building WordPress sites using the ‘Gutenberg’ block editor since it was launched, and it has evolved a lot in the last few years. Our approach has never been to use Site builder tools like Elementor or WP Bakery, and it feels like those are slowly being squeezed out as the ‘core’ WordPress page […]
The writing has been on the wall for many years with Facebook – they have a long and ignoble history of misusing people’s data and failing to moderate hateful or willfully inaccurate information posted on their platform. In 2025 with the re-election of Trump they’re hitching themselves to his wagon and moving even further to […]

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 […]
