Before anyone talks about building, we map where your donor dollars actually go — including what your donors get asked to tip your current platform on top of their gift.
You'll see exactly how much goodwill is leaking to software you don't own.

We've built websites with some of Australia's most innovative charities and nonprofits
Every feature you have now, plus lots you don't.
You've bent your fundraising to fit the platform for long enough. We bend the platform around you. Your donor journey, your unique quirks, your 'what if' ideas. Whether that's a new charity website or a full custom fundraising platform.
No exorbitant 'platform fee'
Platforms like Raisely, Funraisin and GoFundraise usually prompt your donors to add ~4–5% "to cover costs" at checkout — money that goes to the platform, not you.
More
Machine learning
We utilise custom-built machine learning algorithms which analyse donor activity, and use the results of A/B tests to optimise your site's effectiveness.
More
Transfer your data
Years of donor records, giving history, receipts, active recurring gifts — we bring the lot over from your current platform, so switching doesn't mean starting from a blank spreadsheet.
More
Generate regular donors
We have experience optimising how you find regular donors. The timing of the ask, the thank-you, the gentle nudge to set it up as recurring.
More
Easily find 'proof-of-impact'
Only 23% of not-for-profits have systems that let them understand the impact of their services (Infoxchange, Digital Technology in the Not-for-Profit Sector Report 2024).
More
Custom nonprofit website design
Website design built around your charity's brand, people and mission — not a template with your logo dropped on top.
More
Donations built into your website
Donation forms that live on your own not-for-profit website, so donors never get bounced to a third-party platform halfway through a gift.
More
Easy updates for staff & volunteers
A website your team can actually update. Change pages, news, events and appeals yourselves, without waiting on a web developer.
More
Google Ad Grants ready
Nonprofit websites built to meet Google Ad Grants requirements, so you're ready to apply for up to US$10,000 a month in free Google search ads.
More
SEO that gets your cause found
Search-friendly from day one: fast pages, clean structure and the basics done right, so people searching for your cause can find your charity website.
More
Website migration without the mess
Moving off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Raisely? We bring your pages and content across and redirect your old links, so you keep your Google rankings.
More
Hosting, care & maintenance
Website hosting, security updates and ongoing maintenance for your not-for-profit site, all in one predictable monthly fee.
More
Deliver real value
Only 38% of not-for-profits agree their website delivers value (Infoxchange, Digital Technology in the Not-for-Profit Sector Report 2024). We build what your campaign needs — peer-to-peer, event registration, custom donor journeys.
More
Gamification that drives giving
Progress bars, milestones, streaks, a shout-out when someone smashes their target — the little nudges that keep fundraisers coming back to their page.
More
Peer-to-peer & team fundraising
Team pages, individual fundraiser profiles, leaderboards, targets — the works. Your supporters do the asking, and their mates do the giving.
More
Events, tickets & donations in one flow
Sign-ups, ticket sales and donations all run through the same system, so you're not shuffling spreadsheets between three tools the night before an event.
More
Matched giving
We can build custom levers that give donors a reason to act now rather than later
More
Locked down security
Your donor data lives on infrastructure we build and understand — not a black box you can't see into.
More
Australian-hosted, Australian-handled
Your donor data can sit on Australian servers, handled to local privacy standards, rather than bouncing around data centres overseas.
More
Face to face support
Local, face-to-face support. We're in Adelaide, we pick up the phone, and we know your platform inside out.
More
EOFY & tax
Tax-deductible receipts go out automatically, and end-of-financial-year statements are ready to pull whenever you need them — all to DGR standards.
More
Onboarding & training
We walk your staff and volunteers through it properly and leave detailed documentation about how things are working behind the scenes.
More
User focused optimisation
Speed and UX you control. On a custom build, every load time and every click is yours to optimise — generic platforms give you no say.
More
Discover meaning in data
Many organisations struggle to quantify what's really going on - why supporters drift off, what nudges a one-off gift into a monthly one, that kinda stuff.
More
Mobile-first design
Most people donate on their phone in a spare minute, so that's where we start — big buttons, short forms, no pinching and zooming to find the amount field.
More
Fast, accessible web design
Accessible web design that's quick to load on old phones and patchy regional connections, and properly usable with a screen reader.
More
Recover lost donations
Someone starts a donation, gets distracted, closes the tab. We can automate follow up, offer one-tap repeat giving, and win a good chunk of them back.
More
We map out precisely what your site and donation flow need to do — your campaigns, your events, your reporting — and put it in a fixed proposal.
You know what you're getting and what it costs before we write a line of code.
We build your platform around the way you actually raise money, not a template with your logo dropped on top.
You're in the loop the whole way, with something real to click on early rather than a reveal at the end.
Donor records, giving history, receipts and active recurring gifts all come across, so switching doesn't mean starting from a blank spreadsheet.
We schedule going live around your calendar — never in the middle of your biggest weekend.
Hosting, updates, security and monitoring are ours to worry about. Anything you need changed goes straight to us through your client portal.
You get a team that knows your platform, not a ticket queue that doesn't.
Every appeal teaches us something about your donors. We test, tune and add what the next campaign needs, so the platform keeps getting sharper.
Because you own it, those improvements are yours — they're never held back for a higher pricing tier.
Nonprofit website questions
Both. We design and build complete websites for not-for-profits and charities, and custom fundraising platforms for organisations ready to move off Raisely, Funraisin or GoFundraise. The two can live together on one site.
It usually starts to make sense once your organisation raises around $600K or more a year through online donations (online giving, not total revenue). At that size, the "cover our costs" tips that platforms like Raisely and Funraisin prompt donors to add (usually around 4–5%) could be around $25K a year. That's money which could be going towards your cause, not your platform, and it's roughly where owning your website and fundraising platform starts to stack up. If you're raising less than that online, a custom build probably won't pay for itself yet, and an off-the-shelf platform is likely the better fit for now. We're still happy to chat through where you're at. Not sure where you sit? Pop your numbers into the savings calculator above, or book a free discovery call.
Every organisation needs something different, so we scope your site first and give you a fixed proposal before we write a line of code. Hosting and maintenance are then one predictable monthly fee. Book a free discovery call and we'll give you a real number.

We're an Adelaide web design agency and love meeting face to face, but we build websites for not-for-profits right across Australia.
Yes. We bring across your pages and content, and for fundraising platforms your donor records, giving history, receipts and active recurring gifts too. Old links are redirected, and we schedule the switch around your calendar.
