For non-profits, the website does three jobs: explain the cause, prove the impact and make it easy to donate or volunteer.
What to include
- Mission and programmes, in plain words.
- Impact: numbers, stories and photos from the field.
- Transparency: registration details, board, reports and financial summaries.
- Ways to help: donate, volunteer, partner or sponsor.
- News and campaigns.
Step 1: domain
Your organisation's name as a domain. Register it at IDX; a .org or .org.eg signals a non-profit, and the Egyptian ending has its own registration requirements.
Step 2: hosting
Most charity sites run well on IDX shared hosting. Campaign sites that expect traffic peaks, or donation platforms, fit better on web hosting.
Step 3: email for staff and volunteers
Official addresses for staff, and mailing lists for volunteers and board members, with business email.
Step 4: build
Clear calls to action on every page, a simple donation process through a trusted payment gateway, and fast, accessible pages.
Step 5: report back
Share regular updates on what donations achieved. Trust is built after the donation, not only before it.
