Design for Social GOOD launches nonprofit website build for ACE, Empowering the Homeless – Improving Communities,today. The website design and build culminates a six-month project with ACE that started with a massive branding report, logo design, photo and video shoots and website build.

The website showcases a clean and modern design with consistent navigation and bold graphics and images. In order to clearly articulate your cause to supporters, your team and the world, it’s important to keep a few key points in mind when moving forward with your non-profit website design.

Non-profit website design best practices:

• Clearly describe your non-profit’s mission
• Provide information about your organization’s history
• Introduce your staff
• Provide information for your volunteers
• Use photographs to connect supporters with the people you’re serving
• Include contact information
• Offer an email and/or newsletter signup
• Don’t forget: If you don’t “ask,” people can’t give. Provide a clear path to a donate button
