Nonprofit Website Design & Development

At Brooks Digital, we specialize in websites for nonprofits, especially those in the health sector. Our team takes care of everything in the website journey, from understanding your users, creating a seamless user experience, crafting beautiful designs, and bringing them to life using platforms like WordPress and Drupal.

We’ve got a knack for solving common nonprofit website headaches – things like tangled navigation, tricky editing tools, outdated designs, and making sure everyone (even people with disabilities) can use your site. Our clients usually turn to us for a fresh new website or to keep their current one looking sharp and working smoothly.

Problems We Solve

“Our website’s like a maze – nobody can find anything.”
Many nonprofits reach out to us because their website feels like a jumbled mess—more like an org chart than a helpful resource. This often leads to their staff answering phone calls and emails that could’ve been avoided if info was easy to find online. It’s a real time-waster that eats into capacity and prevents them from focusing on more valuable work.
“We dread making changes to our website; it’s about as flexible as a rock.”
Clients often tell us they feel like they’re wrestling with their website’s editing tools, making it a real chore to add new pages or sections. As a result, their website grows outdated, failing to keep pace with the evolving story of their organization. This happens because previous web projects forgot to take into account how tech-savvy the editors are, what they really need to edit smoothly, and skipped the user-friendly training and documentation for staff.
“I’m concerned our site isn’t accessible. I’m afraid people might start complaining, or worse, taking us to court.”
Accessibility is moving up the to-do list for nonprofits, especially those dedicated to serving people with disabilities or impairments. But here’s the thing: many nonprofits haven’t quite cracked the code on digital accessibility yet. That’s where we come in. We’ll guide you in meeting those WCAG and ADA compliance guidelines for your website, and we’ll also train your staff to keep things accessible for the long haul.
“Our site is behind the times, and we’re ready to step up and stand out in our issue space.”
Loads of agencies opt for an off-the-rack WordPress theme and slap on a client’s logo and colors. It’s a budget-friendly move, but it’s also the reason many nonprofit sites seem like long-lost twins. To truly shine in your field, what you need is a custom design crafted just for you, grounded in thorough research, competitive analysis, and solid UX strategy.
“We have a small marketing department and need some extra hands to take care of the website.”
Most nonprofits don’t have their own web wizards in-house. They’re in search of a reliable partner to handle the nitty-gritty of website support, maintenance, and upgrades, without needing to hold their hands every step of the way. We’re like your trusty sidekick – seamlessly joining your team and ready to ramp up when needed, all without the hefty price tag of hiring a full-blown in-house web squad.

“Choosing Brooks Digital for our website project was a super decision for our Y. They clearly had the technical strength, creativity, and flexibility to deliver on a new website but those qualifications were enhanced with thorough, thoughtful communication both in meeting and print format.”
