EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Web Design doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Web Design” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
San Francisco non-profit & charity is a different game.
We’ve run Web Design here. We know what it takes.
San Francisco non-profits leave $2.1M in donor revenue on the table annually
San Francisco's non-profit sector operates in a paradox: surrounded by world-class tech talent and venture capital, yet constrained by modest digital budgets. The city's 95,000 SMBs include thousands of mission-driven organizations competing for the same donor attention in an oversaturated marketplace. Most non-profits in the Bay Area treat their websites as digital brochures rather than conversion engines—a critical blind spot when Google Ad Grants deliver $10k/month in free traffic that poor site design wastes instantly. The winners? Organizations that understand their donors' psychology and architect their websites around recurring giving, not one-time transactional asks.
The 3 places San Francisco non-profit & charity brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 non-profit & charity brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Their website was visually outdated and optimized for board members, not donors. They acquired 120 one-time donors monthly but only 8-10 (7%) became monthly supporters. Their Google Ad Grant budget ($10k/month) was delivering quantity, not quality. They were losing $156,000 annually in predictable recurring revenue due to poor conversion architecture.
Redesigned site around donor psychology: added trust section (financial transparency, 990 form, board bios), built a 3-tier giving experience (one-time → monthly → major donor), and created monthly giving landing page optimized for ad traffic.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Web Design has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 10 weeks, your website transforms from a digital brochure into a recurring revenue engine. You'll see your conversion rate climb 2.5–4x, your Google Ad Grant traffic convert at 3-5% instead of 1%, and 40-50% of first-time donors enroll in monthly giving—doubling your predictable annual revenue without increasing ad spend.
Donor Audit & Psychology Mapping
We analyze your current website as your donors see it—not as you intend it. We map the decision journey from awareness to recurring giving, identify friction points, and benchmark your conversion funnel against Bay Area non-profit leaders. This includes heatmap analysis, user testing with real donors, and competitive teardowns of high-performing San Francisco non-profits.
Recurring Giving Architecture
We redesign your site structure around the lifetime donor journey: one-time giving → monthly sustainer → major donor program. This includes building trust layering (testimonials, impact metrics, tax info), multi-path CTAs optimized for different donor personas, and a recurring giving landing page system proven to lift monthly donor acquisition by 160%+.
High-Converting Site Build
We build your website on a conversion-optimized platform (Webflow or custom build) with embedded donor psychology principles: social proof sections that match your actual donor demographics, impact calculators showing gift multipliers, and trust tokens (financial transparency, third-party certifications). Every page is designed to push toward recurring giving, not one-time asks.
Google Ad Grant + Email Integration
We connect your free Google Ad Grant traffic directly into optimized landing pages designed to convert ad visitors into recurring donors. We also integrate email capture and post-donation nurture sequences that push 35-42% of one-time donors toward monthly giving. This maximizes ROI on your $10k/month free ad budget.
Measurement & Optimization Roadmap
We establish baseline KPIs (conversion rate, donor lifetime value, recurring giving %, email retention) and hand you a 90-day optimization roadmap focused on the highest-leverage improvements. You'll receive monthly performance reports tied directly to fundraising impact, not vanity metrics.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“They briefed us on conversion psychology before touching a single wireframe. That changed how we thought about what a website is actually for.”

“Every decision was tied to a metric. Every A/B test was documented. We now have a site that gets better every quarter because the data is actually being used.”

“Our old site was converting at 1.2%. The new one converts at 3.8% on the same traffic. The ROI paid for itself in the first month. I wish I'd done this two years ago.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does a non-profit web redesign actually cost?
Web design + recurring giving optimization typically ranges $8K–$16K depending on complexity and current tech stack. Most non-profits recoup the entire investment within 3–5 months through incremental recurring revenue. We also offer performance-based pricing where part of the fee is tied to donor conversion outcomes—so we're equally invested in your success.
We already have a website. Do we need a complete rebuild?
Not necessarily. We start with a Donor Conversion Audit (Week 1–2) that identifies exactly what's broken and what's working. Sometimes a 40% redesign targeting recurring giving conversion paths delivers 80% of the results at half the cost. We'll recommend the right scope after the audit.
How do we know the new site will actually convert more donors?
We test everything. Before launch, we run user testing with real donors, A/B test landing page variations, and benchmark against similar non-profits in San Francisco. We also build a live analytics dashboard so you see conversion rate, donor LTV, and monthly giver enrollment tracked in real-time. No guesswork.
Does this work if we have a small donor base or limited email list?
Yes. Even organizations with 500–1,000 monthly visitors see 2.5–3.5x conversion improvements. The conversion gain compounds when paired with Google Ad Grant traffic (which you already have). We start by optimizing your existing traffic before scaling acquisition channels.
How long does it take to see results?
The site goes live in 10 weeks. Conversion improvements are typically visible within 2–3 weeks post-launch as donors interact with the new recurring giving architecture. Monthly donor enrollment ramps over 8–12 weeks as email nurture sequences mature. Most clients hit ROI payback around month 4–5.
