Web design for non-profits, explained
What should a non-profit website do?
A non-profit website should turn interest into support: tell the story of the work, prove credibility with registrations and reports, and make donating or volunteering simple, once-off or monthly.
South African non-profits raise money from individuals, corporates and funders who all want to know the same thing: where the money goes and what difference it makes. Corporates often give through socio-economic development (SED) budgets and need the right documents to claim them.
Supporters discover the cause through a story or a campaign, check credibility, then donate or volunteer. Donations that work and credibility at a glance usually matter most.
What customers check
What makes people trust a non-profit online?
Donors and funders give more readily when they can see exactly who an organisation is and what it achieves. A non-profit website that shows its NPO and PBO registration, publishes reports, tells real stories with consent and makes giving simple turns goodwill into regular support, and gives corporate partners what they need for their SED records.

How long does a non-profits website take?
A Starter site takes 1–2 weeks, a Business site 1–5 weeks and a Premium site 3–6 weeks, depending on content, approvals and integrations.
Can donors give monthly through the website?
Yes. PayFast and similar gateways support recurring donations, and we set up receipts and a simple way for donors to change or stop their giving.
Can the website issue Section 18A certificates?
If your organisation is approved by SARS as a public benefit organisation, the donation flow can collect the details needed and trigger your Section 18A certificate process, so donors receive it without chasing you.
Which rules apply to non-profits websites in South Africa?
Organisations register as NPOs with the Department of Social Development; public benefit organisations with SARS approval can issue Section 18A tax certificates; and donor data falls under POPIA. We design with these in mind and leave legal sign-off to you and your advisers.
