Your mission, clear on a phone.Easy to trust. Easy to join.
A non-profit’s website has to earn trust quickly. It says what you do in one sentence, shows donors how to check you, and makes it easy for a volunteer to raise a hand. We build it, host it and keep it up to date, so nobody on your board has to learn how.
Sample design. The Extra Chair is a made-up organization, its phone number is a fictional 555 number, and the photos are licensed stock photos. See all ten samples.
Six things we build into every non-profit site, and why each one matters to the neighbor, donor or volunteer reading it.
01
Your mission, before anyone scrolls
Who you help, where, and how, in one plain sentence at the top of a phone screen. People meet you through a link a friend sent, so the first screen has to do the explaining. Your history can wait.
02
A clear way to help
What you need, when, and how long it takes, with a short form that reaches the person who answers. Nobody should have to call around to give you a free Saturday.
03
Proof a careful donor can check
Your status, your board, your annual report and your Form 990 in one calm place, with links to the state’s and the IRS’s own lookups. We only show what’s real, so a section you don’t have yet simply isn’t there.
04
Updates without a developer
A board member sends us one email in plain words and we make the change. One content change a month is in the plan, such as a new event or a new board member. Nothing to log in to and nothing to learn.
05
Built for everyone who visits
Readable type, strong contrast, real labels on forms, and pages that work with a keyboard or a screen reader. We test every page with the same accessibility checks we run on our own site, aimed at WCAG 2.2 AA.
06
Safe when nobody is watching
Most small non-profits have no one looking after the website. The sites we build have no plugins to patch and no login page for strangers to guess at. Hosting, security updates and backups are on us, every month.
Florida rules
Florida has rules for asking for gifts online.
If your website asks for donations, Florida’s Solicitation of Contributions Act has a say in what the page shows. Your site should get this right from the first day.
Register before you ask. A charity that plans to solicit in Florida must file with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services first, and renew every year (section 496.405, Florida Statutes). Some groups are outside the law or exempt, such as religious and educational institutions, member-only groups and some small volunteer-run groups (sections 496.403 and 496.406).
The state’s statement goes on the page. Florida writes out a statement that must be shown conspicuously on every solicitation, confirmation, receipt and reminder. On a website it belongs on any page that gives a mailing address for gifts, a phone number to give by, or a way to give online, with the state’s toll-free number and website (section 496.411). We place it where the law says.
Let people check you in a minute. Anyone can look up a Florida charity with the state’s Check-A-Charity tool, and a tax-exempt organization with the IRS’s Tax Exempt Organization Search. We link both from your site, so a careful donor doesn’t have to hunt.
Your Form 990 is public anyway. The IRS says an exempt organization must make its exemption application and its annual returns available for public inspection, with each return available for three years. A simple documents page saves everyone a phone call.
General information, not legal advice. Rules change: check what applies to you with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the IRS or your attorney.
How it works
From one email to a site your board can click through.
1
Tell us what you do
One email from anyone on the board: who you serve, what you need people to do on the site, and the link to your old website if you have one.
2
Get a written quote
A plain-English plan for the pages and a written price your board can read. Nothing starts until you say yes.
3
See it before you vote
A working preview your board can open on their own phones. See your site before you pay. Don’t love it? You owe nothing.
4
We host it and keep it current
Secure hosting, security updates and backups are on us, with one content change a month included.
Describe your business in one sentence. Atlas Web writes the words, designs the pages and adds the images. Then you change anything just by asking, in English or Spanish.
Yes, through the giving page you already use. We add a clear Give button that opens it and put Florida’s required statement where it belongs. We don’t process donations or hold your money.
We have an old WordPress site. Can you fix it?
We don’t work on WordPress, ever. We rebuild your site with our own tools: we keep your words, your photos and what works, and the plugins and the updates go away.
Can a board member update the site without a developer?
Yes. They email us what to change in plain words and we do it. One content change a month is included. If your team would rather make changes themselves, Atlas Web, our website builder, lets you change a page just by asking.
Can you promise our site will never be hacked?
No one can honestly promise that. What we can do is leave out what usually gets attacked: there are no plugins to patch and no login page on the public site. We host it on our secure servers and take care of security updates and backups every month.
Is the site accessible?
We build to the WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines and test every page with automated accessibility checks and by hand on a phone. No website can promise it meets every law for every visitor, so we don’t, and we fix what you or your visitors find.
Do our content and our volunteer messages stay ours?
Yes. Your words, photos and the messages people send you stay yours, and we never sell or share them. Master AI Labs keeps the code and the design it builds and hosts. Your signed agreement says exactly what is whose.
How much does a non-profit website cost?
Every website job gets a written quote before any work starts, and our website price guide shows our real price ranges. Tell us what you need and you get a plain-English plan and your exact price, usually within a few hours and always within one business day.
Can we build the site ourselves instead?
Yes. Atlas Web, our AI website builder, makes a site from one sentence about your organization, and you change anything just by asking, in English or Spanish. You start with 500 free credits, no card needed, and you preview every page before you pay. If you would rather not do it yourselves, we build it for you.
Want to see your new site before your next board meeting?
Tell us about your organization. We usually reply within a few hours, and always within one business day, with a plan and a written quote. Nothing starts until you say so.
