Reliable Online Advocacy for Nonprofits

Unless you are technically oriented and can do it yourself, you either have to depend on them to know what they’re doing, or spend hours on the phone, on chat, or in email trying desperately to find someone who can help you resolve a problem.

And if you are one of the many tech savvy business owners who DIY’s it, you know all too well how deep the rabbit hole of FAQs and message boards can be when trying to repair a site issue that’s cropped up.

With Webbed Presence, you can be assured that your site is updated, upgraded, and healthy — and if there’s a problem, we’ll be working fast to resolve it. No long chat or 1-800 number queues necessary.

We get it. Running—or “merely” supporting—a nonprofit organization is commitment of your resources, time, and Heart.

Yet for many organizations, leadership means wearing many hats. Director, fundraiser, grant-writer, marketer, graphic designer, office manager, events coordinator—and that’s not even considering the time spent with boots on the ground actively improving the lives of others.

The call to help others is both powerful and sacred. In a perfect world, it would be universal.

A nonprofit’s website is one of the most powerful ways available to share its mission and message. It can help inform and organize your volunteers, recruit new ones, solicit donations, communicate upcoming events with the community, share your biggest wins and most pressing needs, and so much more.

Part of our mission at Webbed Presence to support our community, both locally and nationally, by helping nonprofits to serve and grow through access to affordable, high-quality advocacy websites.

Nonprofit Websites

We offer one new website package with several options in order to maximize affordability for nonprofits.

This package is not available to for-profit businesses of any kind. They have been crafted in acknowledgement of the unique needs of nonprofit organizations, at a price that is, quite honestly, painfully low.

We do this in order to combine our talents and expertise with our own mission at Webbed Presence to not only provide exceptional online presence services to the business community, but to make a difference in the lives of those around us.

New Nonprofit Website

We will build you a 4 page site. The most common 4 pages needed by nonprofits are the Home page, About/Mission, Donate/Join, and News/Events; we will work with you to determine the best way to use these 4 pages to maximum effect. Additional pages are available at a reduced rate available only to nonprofits.

Your Site Comes With:

  • Mobile Responsiveness
  • Your Branding
  • Contact Form
  • $ Collection Capability
  • Content Copyediting
  • Media delivery
  • 2-4 stock images per pg

Custom Add-Ons Available:

  • Additional pages
  • Integrated online pmts
  • Email address on your domain
  • Lead capture
  • Copywriting
  • Tell us what you need!

You will need to provide:

COPY

The verbiage for your site. We’ll provide a template for your 4 pages; You write the content.

BRANDING

The look and feel of your site. Logos, branding colors, etc.

CONTENT

Tell us what you love or dislike about other websites. This will help us create a product you’ll love!

PRIVACY POLICY

Every Website Needs One.

We recommend Termageddon as the industry leader in keeping your site safe from legal hassles.

Our Hosting & Development Platforms

Rather than make you pick and choose between features that every nonprofit website needs, we decided to move as much of your savings as possible into hosting.

We also want to make hosting as easy as possible. With our plan, we aim to:

  • Save your time and effort in determining what goes into hosting a site and how much it actually costs
  • Offer an economical hosting solution not offered by the vast majority of developers
  • Include standard costs and professional options such as a private development site, initial domain registration, SSL certificate, etc.

With Webbed Presence, you won’t have to figure all of the parts and pieces out and pay for everything separately. We offer an all-in-one solution, not something slapped-together on cheap hosting servers that aren’t fast, safe, secure, or recognized as trustworthy by Google.

Included In Our Package:

  • Hosting
  • Free Domain Name for 1 year
  • SSL Certificate
  • Ad-Free
  • Password-Protected Development Site
  • On-Page, Off-Page & Local SEO
  • New Website Features as Listed Above
  • Managed Site Care to keep your site online 24/7
  • Personal Support by Phone, Text & Email
  • Daily Backups
  • Discounted Client Tech Support Rate when needed
  • Emergency Site Restoration
  • Exceptional Site Security & Uptime
  • Hands-Free Site Updates Available

Great Reasons to Choose Us

In the long run, free plans end up costing much more in lost revenue, lost time, and sunk tech support costs than a maintenance plan.

  • Lost revenue both because Google poorly ranks free sites (especially those with 3rd party ads) and when the site inevitably goes down
  • Lost time as hours are spent trying to update, maintain and fix the site properly
  • Sunk tech support costs when emergencies arise

Frequently Asked Questions

About our New Website Packages

When working with Webbed Presence, you are personally receiving all of the cumulative knowledge and experience of owner Christine Allison. As Webbed Presence’s business and reputation grows, Christy is expanding the team, with a focus on hiring and training locally.
Learn more about Christy here.

While the timing varies, New Websites generally take approximately 8-12 weeks. This is largely dependent on all content and feedback being delivered in a timely manner.

Onboarding & Discovery
During the onboarding & discovery phase you will complete a questionnaire and provide content for the website. I will research design and style inspiration for your review.

Design & Development
Once the design concept has been signed off I will proceed to build out the homepage. You will be given an opportunity for feedback prior to completion of the remainder of the website.

Final Checks
During the final checks phase I will review the website for quality assurance and ask you to do one final review. Then, lift off!

Start Date
As with any business and industry, some seasons are busier than others. If we need to delay the start date of your website in order to complete current projects, we will let you know up front. By making your deposit you secure your place on our schedule.

As with any business and industry, some seasons are busier than others. If we need to delay the start date of your website in order to complete current projects, we will let you know up front. By making your deposit you secure your place on our schedule.

We do offer a rush fee. Tell us about your project and timing needs and we’ll let you know what we can do.

We’re so glad you asked!

The first things we’ll need are any and all logins to access your current site (if you have one), your domain name provider, your Google business account (or add us as an Admin in Google) your stock photos account if you use one, etc.

Otherwise, content and communication are our primary needs during site design and building.

In terms of content, we need whatever it is that you want put on your site, from images to copy and other media.

FOR NONPROFITS eligible for our offer: You will need to provide complete copy (text) for your site. This is one way we keep the pricing so low. We’ll provide a template with tips for writing the copy that you can use, or if you have a marketing, have them write the copy for your site.

FOR ALL CLIENTS:

We’ll provide a shared folder during Onboarding. Use it to share with us images of your business, your products, your branding, your customers — whatever you have available that can be used to fill out your site. More is always better than less, the more we have to work with the better we get to know you and your product and the more material we have to work with for design.

Often the hardest part of the project is copy. We will provide basic page copy (headings, short phrases to organize the page, etc.) as well as copy editing on your existing copy to ensure it is optimized both for SEO and for your audience. We provide copywriting as an additional paid service — if you are interested in having us write for your website, let us know your needs either on the New Website Project Form or during your free 15-minute meeting.

Other than media, copy and branding, we need your feedback! We need you to review and respond to our requests for feedback in a timely manner. From marketing research leads to color schemes to site themes, we’ll have a lot to cover.

And, if you have ideas you’d like to incorporate, tell us. We won’t progress on the build without your input.

A bit of warning, however, we are honest. If we believe an idea that sounds good will actually be counterproductive to your site attractiveness or SEO, we will tell you, and make suggestions as to options that will better suit our goals for the site.

No.

There is one site builder we will use on a case-by-case basis.

We are very knowledgeable in multiple builders, however, few of them compare to WordPress across a number of factors, prime among them hosting. We’ve found a builder that meets our high expectations, and will use it whenever we feel it is the best fit for a particular client’s needs.

Read more about why we primarily use WordPress here.

That said, we are happy to consult with you or offer tech support for your current site on another builder.

From our primary creative Christy:

I love what I do, and I want you to be successful too! Stay in communication with me, send me what I need, and let the magic happen.

I promise to always be kind, courteous and respectful and I expect the same from my clients. You’re building a relationship with me as well as your potential customers — I’ll likely be recommending your business to people every chance I get, and I hope you’ll recommend others to Webbed Presence too!

For all longer projects, I’ll send you a guide to working with me. Hopefully it proves insightful and gives you a little laugh or two.

For Nonprofit websites, see above.

For Business or Individual websites, see our New Websites Page.

Plugins
Depending on your needs, there are premium WordPress plugins we will recommend.

There’s one we recommend to all of our customers: Termageddon. We’ll give you a special link to use to purchase it for a discount.

And if you don’t want Termageddon? That’s absolutely fine! However, you’ll have to provide all of the copy for your Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions pages. Either way, Webbed Presence is not liable if the legal language is not accurate.

We also offer several premium plug-in subscriptions as part of several of our Hosting & Site Care plans (particularly for site speed, SEO, and easy customizations).

Graphics and Graphic Design
We will provide free stock images. You’ll need to purchase the licenses to use any premium stock images via Adobe Stock or a similar licensing service. (If your business subscribes to any of these services, let us know.)

We will provide basic image editing in Canva, which is pretty spectacular but is not as powerful as Photoshop. If we need anything created in photoshop, you’ll need to use a graphic designer or I can recommend one locally.

We often divide our packages into several equal payments depending on the size. The first payment is the deposit and reserves your spot on our calendar.

The Nonprofit New Website Package requires payment in full, however you can chose monthly or yearly payments for the annual site hosting plans.
