Why White Peak
A nonprofit web design agency built by business owners
Our founders have spent more than 55 years, combined, starting and growing organizations that have reached more than 800 million internet users. We bring that experience to mission-driven organizations of all sizes. Your website should raise money and recruit people, not just look nice.
Earn trust
Real photos, named leaders and clear financial information show donors their gift will be used well.
Make giving easy
A donate button in the header, a short donation form and a monthly giving option turn interest into support.
Get found
Every site is built for Google and AI search, so donors, volunteers and the people you serve find your digital presence.
Only specialists work on your website. Each person on our web design team specializes in one part: graphic design, user experience design, copywriting, web development or search engine optimization (SEO).
Search-ready
Nonprofit websites built for Google and AI search
Donors and volunteers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews which local charities to support. We design and develop websites for organizations that search engines and AI tools can read, trust and quote.
Clear Program Pages
Each program and service gets its own page, linked from simple navigation, so Google knows what your organization does and where.
Mission Copy AI Can Quote
Our writers answer what donors and volunteers ask, in plain language, the format AI tools lift into answers.
Nonprofit Schema Markup
Structured data tells search engines your organization’s name, programs, events, address and donation page.
Fast Pages on Every Phone
Most people find a cause on their phone, often from social media or an email. Lean code keeps each page quick.
Rankings That Carry Over
Redesigning an existing site? We carry over your redirects, page titles and descriptions, so the search traffic you’ve earned stays with you.
Optional upgrade
Add local SEO to reach more supporters
Your new website is ready to rank. A local SEO campaign puts your organization in Google Maps, local results and AI answers, including:
- Google Business Profile, reviews and 20+ local listings
- Entity work, schema and content for AI answers
What sets us apart
How our nonprofit web design creates more value
A nice-looking site isn’t enough for a nonprofit organization’s web presence. It has to tell your story fast, make giving simple and show up when people search for a cause. Here’s how our web design for nonprofits builds each part.
Custom nonprofit design, never a template
Charity website templates make every cause look the same. We design your site from scratch around your mission, your community and your brand design, so your brand and website match. You get three homepage concepts to choose from, then unlimited design revisions on your pick.
Designed to turn visitors into donors and volunteers
We plan each page around one next step: give, volunteer or sign up for updates. Strong calls to action, impact numbers and a short form make that step easy.
Copywriting included, written for supporters
Many web design agencies leave the writing to your staff. We don’t. Our copywriters write every page, about 650 words each, from your input and our research. You review it, and we revise it until you approve it.
Fast on every phone, easy for your staff to edit
We design for phones first and test every page on phones, tablets and desktops. It’s a user-friendly website: a visual editor lets your staff or volunteers post news, events and photos without code.
Every gift and sign-up tracked from launch day
We set up Google Analytics 4 and conversion tracking before launch. You see which pages, emails and campaigns bring in donations and volunteers. We can also send form entries to your donor CRM.
How it works
How our nonprofit website design and development process works
Every site we build follows the same tested approach to web design and development, with your approval at each stage. Here’s how our design process takes your site from the first call to launch day, with you in every design decision.
Discovery and site plan
We learn your mission, programs, supporters and goals. Then we plan your pages, from donate and volunteer pages to program pages.
Copy and design concepts
Our writers draft your copy while our designers create three homepage concepts. You pick one, and we refine it until you approve.
Build and test
Our developers build your site, donation forms and tracking. Then we test speed, web accessibility basics, forms and giving on phones, tablets and desktops.
Launch and grow
We launch, then check every form and donation path. For 30 days after launch, we fix any bug in what we built, free. After that, ongoing support, local SEO and ads help you grow.
Most websites launch in 2 to 6 weeks. Projects are usually billed 50% to start and 50% at launch. You can also start with 33% down and pay the rest over 12 months when you subscribe to our Optimize website maintenance plan.
Built for nonprofits
What a nonprofit website needs
People give to causes they understand and trust. A site for a nonprofit has to explain the mission in seconds, prove the impact and make it easy to help. Here’s what we build into every one.
Donation Pages That Convert
A focused donate page with suggested amounts, a monthly giving option and few distractions. It connects to the donation platform you already use.
Volunteer Sign-Up
A clear page about each volunteer role and a short sign-up form. New volunteers land in your inbox or volunteer software.
Impact Stories and Numbers
Real stories, photos and results that show what each gift does. Donors give again when they see their impact.
Events and Fundraisers
An events calendar with details, registration and ticket links for galas, runs and drives. Past events become proof of community support.
Transparency Pages
Your board, staff, annual reports and financial documents in one place. Donors and grant makers look for them before they give.
Newsletter Sign-Up
A short email sign-up on every page that feeds your email list. It keeps supporters close between campaigns.

Software and integrations
Nonprofit software we connect to your website
Your website should work with the fundraising and email tools your team already uses. Every site comes with Google Analytics 4 and conversion tracking. Then we connect your donation forms, donor CRM, email list and events, so every gift and sign-up lands where your team works. These are some of the most common nonprofit tools, and we're not limited to them.

Google Analytics 4Included
Included with every website. We set up conversion tracking before launch, so you see which pages and campaigns bring in donations and sign-ups.
These are some of the most common nonprofit tools we set up, not the full list. Use a different donor management platform or need a custom integration? Ask us, and we'll confirm it works with your site and quote it. Email and CRM connections, events calendars and multilingual pages have a set price in our price estimate. Software subscription and processing fees are billed by each company.
Donation and fundraising rules, handled with care
The IRS requires a written acknowledgment for any single gift of $250 or more. A gift over $75 that gets something back, like a gala ticket, needs a disclosure of its deductible amount. Many states also require charities to register before asking residents for donations. We set up receipts, event pages and donation forms with these rules in mind, and your team approves every claim.
