In the age of the internet, there are few things as off-putting as a bad website.
Now, “bad” can translate into a lot of things—from non-functioning to unintuitive to just plain unattractive.
While a bad website can encompass a lot of elements, a good website, on the other hand, generally includes a number of pretty standard components.
Here, we’ll walk through 7 nonprofit web design must-haves that can turn any bad website into a compelling, engaging experience for visitors, including:
- CRM Integration
- Simple Design
- Easy-to-Use Navigation
- Consistent Branding
- Clear Donation Options
- Mobile-Responsiveness

Let me start by saying I’m your typical Millennial. Let me also say that I absolutely love nonprofits. Really. I talk with them every single day and these are people who don’t just donate money, or a day or two of their time a year. They dedicate their whole life to helping others. They’re hard working people who care deeply. They know every dollar counts; and executive directors and board members have to justify how those dollars are spent. It’s not easy.

Well, if I have learned anything from the NFL’s Pink October and ALS’ Ice Bucket Challenge campaigns, it is an unequivocal YES! How can you as a nonprofit leader use this momentum to help increase participation from your supporters not only during the awareness campaign but all year long too?
