Nonprofit Websites & Site Care

Reliable Online Advocacy for Nonprofits

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.

Managed WordPress Hosting means servers optimized for WordPress, Regular Backend updates, and specialized tech support.

Managed WordPress Hosting:
The foundation for our Site Care plans.

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 WordPress 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
  • Built-In Basic SEO
  • Your Branding
  • Contact Form
  • $ Collection Capability
  • Content Copyediting
  • 2 free stock images per pg

Custom Add-Ons Available:

  • Additional pages
  • Integrated online pmts
  • Media delivery
  • Lead capture
  • Tell us what you need!

Package Options: Hosting & Development Platform

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

We also want to make hosting as simple as possible. With our options, 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

This means that you’re not only selecting where your site will be built, but it will be served from after it’s live and public—as well as where your domain name is registered, where you get your SSL certificate, etc.

With Webbed Presence, you won’t have to figure all of that out and pay for everything separately. These are all-in-one solutions that are highly regarded in the industry, not slapped-together free web builders on free or cheap hosting servers that aren’t safe, secure, or recognized as trustworthy by Google.

The Two Decisions to Make Before Choosing Your Nonprofit New Website Package

No.1 Select Your Hosting Provider: Webbed Presence or WordPress.com

Compare what we offer below with the Premium and Business hosting plans at WordPress.com.

We hope you’ll agree with us that our plans offer greater value and peace of mind. If, however, your budget is super tight, we understand that you may need to start with their limited Premium plan. The Business Plan includes the features we consider to be the bare minimum needed for a successful, revenue-increasing long-term website.

No.2 Select Your Hosting Plan

Note: We will not create a new site on a free hosting plan.

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 spend trying to learn how to update, maintain and fix the site properly
  • Sunk tech support costs when emergencies arise

This means that you’re not only selecting where your site will be built, but it will be served from after it’s live and public—as well as where your domain name is registered, where you get your SSL certificate, etc.

Nonprofit Hosting & Site Care

As with so many aspects of charitable leadership, you need to delegate someone’s time to the regular maintenance and care of the website — and the quality of that care makes a difference.

And if you are one of the many tech savvy volunteers who DIY 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.

What Our Hosting Plans Include

All of our plans come with the following:

  • Maintenance and Updates to keep your site running smoothly
  • Monthly reports
  • Built-in site security
  • Speed optimization
  • 99.9% uptime guarantee
  • Emergency site recovery when glitches occur and automated updates fail
  • Servers located within the United States

All plans require a minimum 12 month contract.

Hosting & Site Care Plans for Nonprofit Organizations

Effortless Full-Service Hosting & Site Care for Nonprofits

Save time and frustration and take website updates off your plate (and that of your staff and volunteers!) Spend more time creating compelling calls to action, and less time trying to make them look perfect online.

Includes hosting, domain, SSL, maintenance, SEO optimization, emergency site recovery in case of a failed update or other non-human-error issues, and a live, local person on the other end of the line and 90 minutes per month of professional tech support, a huge savings!

This plan is for organizations that:

  • Update the website regularly and prefer to have our staff make the changes
  • Update copy and images often and prefer to send content to us to post to the site
  • Have related technical support needs that they can call on us to complete hassle-free
  • All of the above, up to 90-minutes a month of support built-in and discounted for your convenience

How many updates are in 90 minutes?

It depends! It varies depending on how long they are, how much editing they need, what format they are in, etc.

In general, 90 minutes of updates may look like:

Weekly news articles—we’ll copyedit, format, and publish them (4-5 per month)

Weekly online calendar event updates to make

6-8 social media posts per month

Or, mix and match any of the above up to 90 minutes of updates per month.

If you need another variation of the above (i.e. additional support), let us know and we’ll provide you with special pricing.

Investment: $97/month (or $1,150/year if paid up front)

Additional support on top of plan pricing at a special discounted rate available only to nonprofits ($75/hour), and copywriting available separately.

Worry-Free Light Updates Hosting & Site Care for Nonprofits

If you site content will be updated only once or twice a month (or less) and you don’t want to do it yourself, this plan is for you!

Includes hosting, domain, SSL, maintenance, SEO optimization, emergency site recovery in case of a failed update or other non-human-error issues, and a live, local person on the other end of the line and 30 minutes per month of professional tech support, a huge savings! 

Investment: $75/month (or $850/year if paid up front)

Additional support on top of plan pricing at a special discounted rate available only to nonprofits ($75/hour), and copywriting available separately.

Stress Less, No SOS Hosting & Site Care for Nonprofits

Prevent All Hands on Deck emergency situations on your website!  Be confident knowing your site won’t be broken by automated updates, and that your team’s time won’t be sapped by the rare yet inevitable glitch that can take down your whole site.

Includes hosting, domain, SSL, maintenance, basic SEO, emergency site recovery in case of a glitch or failed automatic update, and a live, local person on the other end of the line when help is needed.

This plan is our DIY option and then some. We do not recommend this plan unless the person who will be maintaining the site is comfortable with WordPress or a quick and confident learner.

Investment: $30/month ($360/year)

Additional support on top of plan pricing at a special discounted rate available only to nonprofits ($75/hour), and copywriting available separately.

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 will expand the team, with a focus on hiring 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.

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.

Yes.

We are very knowledgeable in multiple other builders, however, none of them compare to WordPress across a number of factors.

Read more about why we use WordPress here.

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

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 Nonprofit websites, see Next Steps above.

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