Nonprofit websites where the mission stays in front
A nonprofit's website answers to more people than any business site: donors deciding whether to give, volunteers deciding whether to show up, and the people you serve deciding whether to reach out. Organizations from the Pink Wig Foundation to Saskatoon's orchestras trust us with that balancing act.
What a nonprofit website owes its people
Every audience arrives with a different question. The site's job is to answer all of them without burying any of them.
- 01
The Donate Path, Never Far
The moment someone decides to give is fragile. Wherever they are on the site, the way to act on it is one obvious step away — connected to whatever donation platform your organization already runs. - 02
Impact You Can Point At
Donors give to outcomes. Stories, numbers, and photos of the work — presented so a first-time visitor understands in a minute what their money becomes. - 03
Programs & Services, Plainly
The people you serve need the practical page: what you offer, who qualifies, how to get help. It's often the most-visited part of a nonprofit site and the least loved. Not on ours. - 04
Volunteer Doors That Open
"Get involved" shouldn't be a dead-end form. Real roles, real time commitments, a real next step — the difference between a website that collects goodwill and one that converts it. - 05
Events That Sell Themselves
Galas, runs, fundraisers, seasons — events carry most nonprofit calendars. Pages built to be shared, with tickets or registration wired straight in. - 06
The Accountability Shelf
Annual reports, financials, board lists — the pages grant reviewers and major donors quietly check. Having them findable is itself a credibility statement.
Good causes, one soft spot
Cory K. — Pink Wig Foundation★★★★★Becker has been a huge supporter of the Pink Wig Foundation since day one. He built our website to perfection and is always a text away for any issues we may have! He has also done all my design for my King Management business and it is top notch! If I could put 10 stars I would! He’s the best in the business.
LP — AVI Health & Community Services★★★★★I worked with Bryn on a website redesign for a non-profit client. He was a total delight to work with from start to finish. He was extremely friendly and pleasant to work with, always clear and consistent on timelines, and produced a beautiful, well-designed, accessible, usable site that we’re absolutely thrilled with, at a competitive price. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Tomas B. — Shifting Ground★★★★★I have worked with Becker Design for longer than I can remember, and Bryn has built more websites for me in that time than I care to admit. Accommodating, professional, and consistently on point, I couldn’t recommend Becker Design enough.
Tell us who you serve
Bring us your mission, your programs, and your honest website frustrations. We'll come back with a plan and a proposal — features, specs, and costs — written for a board to read, because we know one will.
Donors, volunteers, and the people you serve read differently
Most nonprofit websites are accidentally written for just one of their audiences — usually donors, since fundraising pays the bills. But the volunteer looking for a shift calendar and the community member looking for help have no use for an annual-report tone, and a donor skimming for impact has no patience for internal program names.
The structure solves what tone can’t. Each audience gets a clear door from the front page — give, help, get help — and each path speaks its own language from there. Nobody wades through material meant for someone else, and the mission holds the whole thing together, because it’s the one thing all three audiences share.
It’s a discipline problem more than a design problem, and it’s the first thing we map when a nonprofit brings us a rebuild: who arrives, what they need, and how many taps stand between them and it.
The organizations behind the claim
Pink Wig Foundation and Shifting Ground are the two longest files in this column — Pink Wig backed by Becker Design since the foundation’s first day, and Shifting Ground carrying more websites over the years than anyone involved has bothered to count.
AVI Health & Community Services straddles this page and the health care one — a community health organization whose accessible redesign we walk through over there.
The Saskatoon Youth Orchestra and Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra hold the culture end — nonprofits whose seasons, ticketing, and donor pages live on the arts and music side of the shelf.

There’s room on this page for your business
Every site above came out of this shop. The next spot on this page is open.
Websites maintained by whoever has time stop being maintained
Every nonprofit knows the failure mode: the website was the treasurer’s cousin’s project, the cousin got busy, and now the homepage advertises a gala from two years ago. Volunteer-maintained websites decay at the speed of volunteer time — through nobody’s fault, and to everybody’s cost.
We take that job off the board’s plate. Hosting, backups, security, and updates run underneath; content changes go live when you email them — new event, new program, new board list. And handing the reins between coordinators stops being a crisis, because the website’s institutional memory lives with us, not on someone’s departed laptop.
