We have rebuilt websites for World Appeal, National Care Trust and Dar Al-Amanah. The brief is always the same underneath: look trustworthy in the first scroll, take a donation first time on a phone, and let the team launch an appeal themselves when a crisis breaks.
Most of your donors arrive on a phone, late, wanting to give in the next thirty seconds. A form that asks them to create an account, type a card number and scroll past three fields they do not understand loses a share of them at every step.
A crisis opens, the community wants to give that night, and the appeal page is a ticket in an agency’s queue. By the time it is live the moment has passed and the money went to whoever had a page up.
The gift lands in the payment provider, someone copies the donor into a spreadsheet, the thank-you is sent when there is time, and the Gift Aid claim is assembled at quarter end from whatever was captured. Donors who were never thanked do not give twice.
Donors compare you with the large charities whether you like it or not. A dated site with a broken page or two quietly tells them the organisation might be run the same way.
One-off and monthly gifts, Apple Pay and Google Pay, no account to create. Designed for the donor giving at 11pm during the last ten nights, not for a laptop in the office.
The declaration is taken at the point of giving and stored against the donor, so finance claims the extra 25% on eligible donations without a spreadsheet exercise every quarter.
Templates for emergency, Ramadan, Qurbani and winter appeals that your own staff publish, with target, form and imagery ready. Built this way for World Appeal.
Donor name, contact, amount and campaign become a CRM record automatically, with the thank-you sent. No re-typing, no missed follow-ups.
Fund pages that explain what the money does, take the gift for that fund specifically, and stay live year after year so they keep ranking on Google.
A clear “Become a Member” or volunteer path with its own form and follow-up, the way we built it for National Care Trust.
Right-to-left layouts done properly and copy written by people who speak the language, so international donors and beneficiaries are served, not just tolerated.
Sub-two-second loads on a mobile connection, because a donation page that stalls is a donation lost. Performance is part of the build, not an add-on.
Registered charity number, trustees, partners and impact figures placed where a new donor looks for them. Credibility is the first conversion.
Each of these is live and in use. Click through for the full case study.
Full rebuild on a fast, mobile-first build. Donation forms wired into the CRM so every gift becomes a donor record without manual entry, campaign pages for Qurbani, Ramadan and emergency appeals, and ongoing content and social media across five platforms.
Mental health and care charityA dated site replaced with a calm, trust-led design built around the charity's programmes, a clear “Become a Member” call to action, programme cards, statistics and partner logos including the NHS.
Relief and orphan sponsorshipModern redesign with secure donation and payment integration, orphan sponsorship and recurring giving, a Gaza relief emergency appeal, and social media management alongside the site.
A Muslim charity’s year has a shape: Ramadan and the last ten nights, Qurbani in Dhul Hijjah, the winter appeal, and the emergencies nobody can schedule. The website should be ready for each before it arrives.
“Ummah Design has been absolutely excellent to work with. The team delivered a fantastic website for us, and the entire process was handled professionally from start to finish. Their attention to detail, communication, and willingness to help throughout the project really stood out.”

Thirty minutes with the people who run fundraising and the website. We agree what it must do, what it must connect to, and give you a fixed price.
We design around your real appeals, programmes and photographs, and help write the pages so trust is earned in the first scroll.
We build the site, connect donations and Gift Aid, wire donor records to your CRM, and set up the campaign templates.
Your team learns to publish an appeal and edit a page without us. We launch, hand over every login, and stay available.
Charity website design starts at £499 for a small organisation with a clear message, a donation page and a handful of content pages. Larger charities with multiple appeals, CRM integration, membership or several languages are scoped individually. We give a fixed price after a free discovery call, and that is the price you pay.
Yes. One-off and monthly giving by card, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with the Gift Aid declaration captured at the point of donation so your finance team can claim the extra 25% on eligible gifts without chasing donors afterwards. Donors can choose the fund or appeal their gift goes to.
Yes. We build campaign page templates so an emergency appeal, a Qurbani page or a winter campaign can be published by your own staff in an afternoon, with the donation form, target and imagery already in place. Nobody should wait a week for an agency when a crisis breaks.
Yes. For World Appeal we wired the donation forms so that donor name, contact details, gift amount and campaign land in the CRM as a record automatically, with the thank-you sent without anyone typing. The same approach works with HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce and most donor CRMs, and it is where the biggest time saving usually is.
No. Most of our charity clients are Muslim-led because that is who finds us, and we understand the Ramadan, Qurbani and zakat calendar without being briefed. National Care Trust, a mental health and care charity, is a good example of work outside that. We welcome every charity.
Yes, and many charity clients start with the website and add the rest. We run social media for charities, do SEO for cause and appeal searches, and build automations for donor thank-yous, Gift Aid claims and lapsed-donor follow-up. One team, not three agencies.
The charity does. Domain and hosting are in your name, you hold every login, and donor data sits in your own payment and CRM accounts, never ours. You can move to another agency at any time and take everything with you.
Most charity sites launch within four to six weeks of the discovery call. Larger builds with CRM integration or several languages usually take eight to twelve. The main variable is how quickly content and photos arrive, and we help with both.
