They Told You a New Website Would Fix Everything.

It Didn’t — And You’re Not Alone.

Nonprofit leaders are sold the same promise over and over:

“A modern website will increase donations, credibility, and growth.”

But what actually happens?

• Thousands spent
• Donations stay flat
• Teams feel locked out
• Simple updates require a developer
• Monthly “maintenance” bills never stop

Your website isn’t broken.
It was never built to work for a nonprofit.

Every month this continues, your website quietly costs you:

• Lost donations
• Staff time wasted waiting on edits
• Dependency on designers or agencies
• Ongoing fees you don’t fully understand
• Risk if someone leaves or disappears

The scariest part?

Most nonprofits don’t realize this is happening until years — and tens of thousands of dollars — later.

This Isn’t a Design Problem.

It’s an Industry Problem.

Simply put...the website industry was not built to empower nonprofits.

It was built to:

• Keep platforms complicated
• Justify ongoing retainers
• Create dependency
• Lock organizations into systems they don’t own

That’s why so many nonprofit websites:

• Look outdated and don’t convert
• Break when you try to update them
• Require constant paid support
• Never truly belong to the organization

Once you understand this, everything changes.

What If Your Website Actually Worked For You?

Imagine a website that:

• Your team can update confidently
• Doesn’t require maintenance retainers
• Guides donors emotionally toward giving
• Is built on strategy — not guesswork
• Is legally and operationally owned by your nonprofit

That’s not a fantasy.

It just requires knowing what to look for — and what to avoid.
