For a nonprofit, every peso spent on overhead is a peso not spent on the mission. That's exactly why many small organizations go without a proper website. But without one, donors can't verify you, partners can't find you and volunteers can't see how to help. A simple, credible website pays for itself the first time a donor or partner says yes.
I'm Aldrian, an independent web developer in the Philippines. I build websites for nonprofits, NGOs, foundations, church ministries, people's organizations, alumni groups and community projects. A starter site begins at ₱6,000 a year, all-in, with your domain and hosting for the first year.
What donors, volunteers and partners look for
Your mission in plain words
Who you serve, what problem you address and how. One clear paragraph beats a long mission statement.
Your work and impact
Programs, projects and real stories from the communities you serve. Numbers help when they're accurate, like meals served or students supported, but only share figures you can back up.
Credibility
Your registration details, such as SEC registration or other accreditation you hold, board and officers, partners and, if available, annual reports or financial summaries.
How to help
Donate, volunteer, partner or spread the word. Each with clear steps.
Contact and location
Office address, contact person, email and social links.
How the four-page starter fits a nonprofit
The ₱6,000 package includes up to 4 pages:
- Home: your mission, a powerful photo, recent work and a "How to help" button
- Our work: programs, stories and honest impact
- About: history, team, board, registration and partners
- Get involved: donation instructions, volunteer inquiry form and contact details
Extra pages, such as a page per program or a reports page, are ₱1,500 each.
What's included in the ₱6,000 package
- Up to 4 hand-coded pages
- A .com or .net domain and hosting for the first year
- Mobile-friendly layout
- A volunteer or partner inquiry form
- Basic SEO setup
- 3 revision rounds
- Ready in 5 to 7 business days after I receive your content
Full details are on the ₱6,000 package page.
Donations: simple first, online later
The starter site can show clear donation instructions, such as bank details or e-wallet numbers, and a form for donors to tell you they've given so you can thank them and issue receipts. Built-in online donation with card or GCash payments needs a payment gateway and a custom quote. See my GCash and Maya integration page. Please confirm any rules on donations and receipts that apply to your organization.
Protecting the people you serve
Stories and photos of beneficiaries are powerful, but dignity and privacy come first. Use photos with consent, avoid identifying vulnerable people, especially children, and tell stories respectfully. I'll help you present your work in a way that's moving and responsible.
When you need more
Online donations, member portals, event registration and volunteer management systems need a custom build. See event websites and member portals.
Getting found
People search for causes, not just names: "feeding program volunteer Manila," "scholarship foundation Cebu" or "animal rescue Quezon City." The basic SEO setup puts your cause and location into your titles and descriptions, adds structured data for your organization and keeps the site fast. Google also offers programs for nonprofits that some organizations can apply for, and a proper website is usually a requirement.
Common mistakes on nonprofit websites
Mission statements full of jargon. Write like you're explaining it to a friend.
No way to help. Every page should point to donating or volunteering.
Outdated news. A "latest update" from years ago makes people wonder if you're still active.
Unverifiable impact claims. Share only figures you can back up.
No registration details. Donors want to know you're legitimate.
Grant and partner applications
Funders, companies with corporate social responsibility programs and international partners often check an organization's website before they reply to a proposal. A clean site with your mission, programs, governance and contact details answers many of their questions upfront. Some grant applications ask for a website link directly, so having a credible one can make your applications stronger.
