Nonprofit websites: FAQ

What are nonprofit websites built with?

WordPress is the most common platform here (6 of 12 sites), followed by Craft CMS and Next.js. Sites without a recognisable platform are usually custom built.

Should a nonprofit website have a light or dark design?

67% of the nonprofit websites here open on a light background and 33% on a dark one. Both work: pick the one that suits your photography and brand, then use the other sparingly for contrast.

How were these nonprofit websites chosen?

Each site comes from a design award gallery or a studio's published client work, was screenshotted from the live site, sorted into its niche and then checked by hand. Sites that are unfinished, parked or hidden behind popups are left out.

How much does a nonprofit website cost?

It depends on scope: a site with a full brand identity, custom design and a CMS costs more than a template. For a realistic range for your business, try our free branding and website budget calculator, or see what's included in a Jeppesen brand and website project.
