As far as charity web design goes, I believe that it is one of the hardest types of web design work to have done for you. Most charities are non-profit and therefore don’t have any money to shell out for a web designer to build them a site. Although this is an obstacle that you have to get around, it will be worth it in the end. Letting your cause be known to a wider range of people and therefore bringing in a lot more money to help fight for it. I’ve told you all about the tribulations of making a charity website. I’ve also told you what I think should be included as far as information goes in your charity website. All these tips and such are my opinion of course. If there is any information you would like to add on your charity website it is, in the end, up to you and only you. I want to talk about the design of your charity website next. This pertains to how the site looks and feels to people visiting it.

When I think about going to a charity website the first thing that I want to feel from it is that the charity is professionalism and class. This can be done in a couple of ways. For one, making sure that your site is simple but still looks like a good quality website is a good way to go about this. There shouldn’t be anything flashy or anything too busy on the site. Use colors that are easy on the eyes; something that is soothing or calming is best. As far as color goes I would go with something more natural looking. Using earth tones make people feel like they are at peace. Your charity website should be designed so that it is easy to use. A simple layout is best. Use larger buttons (not too large) so that visitors can easily see where they are. The text on the site should be medium sized; anything too small will not be easy for visitors to read. Your pictures should be high quality, especially if you have a large banner on your site. When you see gritty low quality pictures on a site it takes away from the image of the site almost immediately.

By taking extra time to see what other websites you enjoy (whether or not they are charity websites) you can have a good idea when you go in of what you want your charity website to look like. Bring these design ideas up to your web designer and show them that this is what you are looking for in your own site. By following these tips you can be sure to have a site that is pleasing to visit. For more information on charity web design check us out at DreamCo Design – Charity Web Design.
