Having a charity website means nothing if no one knows that you even exist. The answer to this problem is to have SEO work done on your charity website. There are a lot of websites out there dedicated to a whole slew of different causes. There is most likely quite a few charities already made that fight for the same cause that yours does. With this in mind I would think that it is important that if someone is searching for a charity to donate to that yours comes up as one of the first.

          There are a lot of things that are done to help your charity website become noticed. Usually a good start for SEO work is to change the title tags and Meta tags so that they reflect your keywords. These are the words that your charity is associated with and will be found under when people use a search engine. There are other things that go into search engine optimization, one important factor is the content found on your website. Everything that is written is taken into consideration to whether or not your charity website is relevant to those key words that you chose. So make sure when writing your content for the website that you keep SEO in mind.

          There are many other things that go into search engine optimization. In fact, there are tons of things that could be done to improve your rankings with the search engines. Most of these things need to be done on a regular basis though and there-in lies the problem. You need to have someone working on SEO for your website on a continuous basis to make sure that your charity website keeps going up. Most people who have websites built get SEO done on their site but as soon as their site is done, that’s all she wrote. This works for a while but in order to make sure that your charity website continues to climb. For more information on educational web design check us out at DreamCo Design – Charity Web Design.

          As far as charity web design goes, I believe that it is one of the hardest types of web design work to have done for you. Most charities are non-profit and therefore don’t have any money to shell out for a web designer to build them a site. Although this is an obstacle that you have to get around, it will be worth it in the end. Letting your cause be known to a wider range of people and therefore bringing in a lot more money to help fight for it. I’ve told you all about the tribulations of making a charity website. I’ve also told you what I think should be included as far as information goes in your charity website. All these tips and such are my opinion of course. If there is any information you would like to add on your charity website it is, in the end, up to you and only you. I want to talk about the design of your charity website next. This pertains to how the site looks and feels to people visiting it.

          When I think about going to a charity website the first thing that I want to feel from it is that the charity is professionalism and class. This can be done in a couple of ways. For one, making sure that your site is simple but still looks like a good quality website is a good way to go about this. There shouldn’t be anything flashy or anything too busy on the site. Use colors that are easy on the eyes; something that is soothing or calming is best. As far as color goes I would go with something more natural looking. Using earth tones make people feel like they are at peace. Your charity website should be designed so that it is easy to use. A simple layout is best. Use larger buttons (not too large) so that visitors can easily see where they are. The text on the site should be medium sized; anything too small will not be easy for visitors to read. Your pictures should be high quality, especially if you have a large banner on your site. When you see gritty low quality pictures on a site it takes away from the image of the site almost immediately.

          By taking extra time to see what other websites you enjoy (whether or not they are charity websites) you can have a good idea when you go in of what you want your charity website to look like. Bring these design ideas up to your web designer and show them that this is what you are looking for in your own site. By following these tips you can be sure to have a site that is pleasing to visit. For more information on charity web design check us out at DreamCo Design – Charity Web Design.

          With all the troubles that come along with making a charity website it seems like no one would even consider bothering with it. Although there are many benefits, like bringing your charity to the next level by enticing people to donate, still people don’t want to even try. I talked before about how there really aren’t a lot of people out there that will do a website for free, and if they do, it won’t be very good quality. It would make your charity look as though they are unprofessional or possibly a scam to some people. More and more people are getting suspicious of charities these days because there are so many scams out there. Having a professionally built website and some information that you could give out would be your best way to battle naysayers and skeptics.

          There should be a wealth of information on your website pertaining to your charity. Anything you can possible think of that people are going to want to know should be somewhere on your charity website. If these things weren’t obvious enough I will tell you some of the things that I would want to know if I were thinking about donating to a charity. The first thing I would want to know is how long this charity has been around and where did it start. I’d want to know what the charity was for. Meaning I’d want to know the cause the charity is working for. These two areas are the most important to expand on. Knowing the history of the charity is important to me because if there is none I would be skeptical to donate anything. Also, the cause is obviously important to write a lot about because if it is something I am interested in I would like to be able to read a lot of information about it. Another area that would be of interest to me would be an area dedicated to show what you have done in this field towards your cause. If you’ve done a lot to help your cause then I most likely would be impressed and it would also show me that your charity actually would be using my money towards a good reason.

         These three areas are probably the most important and would be the deciding factor to someone. So make sure that you don’t leave any information out. The more truthful and open you seem the more comfortable people are going to be with donating money to your cause.
