$4,000 – $9,000 · 4–6 weeks
Nonprofit websites built around your mission. Reading, Pennsylvania.
A site that tells your story, publishes updates and takes donations into accounts your organization controls.
Volunteers get a publishing workflow they can manage, and public wording stays within what your organization approves.
What’s included
A site for your mission, stories and updates, with editing a volunteer can learn.
One-time and recurring giving, with the payment account in your organization’s name.
Checks against the wording your organization approves, to catch prohibited claims before they are published.
Giving stays switched off until an authorized person confirms the payment setup is ready.

The Build Plan
$1,500 · two weeks
A written scope with a fixed price for each item, a dated timeline and what is excluded.
Ask about The Build PlanYours to keep and use with any developer. Credited against the build if we start within 60 days.
The Code Review
$3,000 · two weeks
A written assessment of existing code: what works, what does not, and a priced plan to finish it.
Ask about The Code ReviewYours to keep and use elsewhere. Credited against the build if we start within 60 days.
Build fees are one-time project costs, not a website rental. Domain renewal, hosting, payment processing and any paid tools are separate and billed to your own accounts.
What’s not included
Your organization supplies and approves its legal disclosures; automated checks support that review but are not legal advice. Processing fees and hosting are separate, and fundraising results are not guaranteed.
Before you start
- Who controls the donation account?
Your organization. The payment account, recipient details and billing are in its name, and an authorized person confirms everything before donations are switched on. Processing fees are separate from the build.
- Can volunteers publish without technical help?
Yes, if we design for it. We agree an editing and approval workflow around your volunteers and document it at handover.
You own what you pay for.
- The work
On final payment, the custom code, design, content and data are yours: assigned, not licensed.
- The accounts
Domain, hosting, email and payments are in your name and on your billing from day one. I do not resell hosting.
- The code
It lives in your repository from the first commit, so another developer can pick it up at any point.
- The data
Anything the project stores comes with a documented export you can run yourself.
- After launch
Thirty days of fixes are included for anything that misses the agreed scope. After that, support is $125 an hour with no minimum, and a site that is down gets a response the same business day.
- Reusable parts
My reusable components stay mine, with a permanent free license for you and any developer you hire. Third-party software keeps its own license.
- Ending support
There is no minimum term and no cancellation fee; either side gives thirty days’ notice. Ending support never switches your site off.
- If I am unavailable
If you cannot reach me for ten business days, give your accounts, code and notes to another developer and carry on.
