At TeamKinetic we like good, clear advice. Caryn Stein<\/a>, director of content strategy at Network for Good \u2013 a non-profit marketing blog – gives us just that. Her article is a great health check for your non-profit website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work here at TeamKinetic has taught us a few lessons about effective web design for Voluntary organisations. We have learnt that good quality content, that is relevant to your audience, is totally essential. That content must be easy to find on your site and available on the type of devices your clients, service users or customers use.\u00a0That means mobile, tablet or even old-fashioned paper if that\u2019s what they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the brave new world of social media, there are so many places you can put your content, it’s important you know your audience.\u00a0Using many different social media outlets can be time-consuming and result in little return.\u00a0 Having a simple plan of what to use, how often and who is responsible will ensure your message is consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is your nonprofit website open for business?<\/a> <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your non-profit website sending the right message to potential donors? Year-end fundraising season will be here before you know it. Now is the time to clear away the cobwebs and roll out the welcome mat for prospective donors, volunteers, and those who may benefit from your work. If you haven\u2019t updated your site in a while, you might give donors the impression that your organization is no longer active.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worried your site may say \u201cmove along\u201d instead of \u201ccome on in\u201d? Here are the top issues that can scare visitors away from your nonprofit website (and how to fix them).<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken links<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re not just aggravating and confusing for your website visitors, broken links can also be a big red flag for search engines like Google. Having internal links that don\u2019t work or that don\u2019t point to real content can affect how your site shows up in search.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it: <\/b><\/em>Most website platforms and content management systems have reporting that will show you the top pages that are returning an error. Taking a close look at your Google Analytics can help as well. Do some internal testing on your website to make sure all of your links are taking visitors where they should. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stale content<\/strong><\/span> <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you still have information about your \u201cupcoming event\u201d on your home page even though the \u201cupcoming event\u201d took place several months ago? Is the last post on your nonprofit\u2019s blog from 2012? This is a surefire sign that no one in your organization is actually looking at your website. To your visitors, it says: we gave up.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it:<\/b><\/em> Make it someone\u2019s responsibility to frequently review your website and do regular housekeeping. If you have a news feed or blog that shows up on your home page, make sure you\u2019re adding new content frequently. If you don\u2019t have a plan to add new items, remove these feeds from your pages. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dated design<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This one is somewhat subjective, but there are certain hallmarks of an outdated web design: crazy animations, hard to read text (usually light text on dark background, or a veritable rainbow of font colors), randomly-placed images, to name a few. Geocities is dead. It\u2019s time for your nonprofit website to move on to better things.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it: <\/b><\/em>  A complete makeover would be nice, but if that\u2019s not in the cards, focus on fixing the most egregious cosmetic issues within your current design and platform. Start with your key pages and branch out from there. Make it easy to read and remove anything that makes your site look like this<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/b>No contact information<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The lights may be on, but without obvious and current contact information, is anyone really home? Your contact details give people an easy way to ask questions and find out more, plus openly listing this information on your website is a sign of trust and transparency. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it:<\/b><\/em> Add your physical address, phone number, and a way to email you to the footer of your website. Place clear links to your \u201cContact Us\u201d page within your site\u2019s global navigation. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No clear way to donate<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the first thing I look for when I am asked to review an organization\u2019s website, and it\u2019s amazing how many nonprofits still don\u2019t have a prominently placed donation button on every page of their website. Without a clear and highly visible way to donate, you\u2019re effectively telling donors: we don\u2019t need your money. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it:<\/b><\/em> Make your donate button big, bold, and above the fold of your website. Make sure your donate button actually says \u201cDonate Now\u201d, \u201cDonate\u201d, or \u201cGive\u201d. Fuzzy language won\u2019t cut it here. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slow to load<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One Mississippi, two Mississippi \u2026 by three Mississippi your website better be finished loading, or most visitors will simply leave. It may not be fair, but people are impatient. They have better things to do than to wait for your carousel of images or Flash presentation to load. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it: <\/b><\/em>Start by confirming there are no technical problems with your website\u2019s platform or hosting service. Then, take a hard look at your website\u2019s key pages and see how you can streamline them by removing extraneous images, code, or other files that are bogging down your site. A reputable web developer can also provide suggestions for other improvements that can speed up your site. (Bonus: Decluttering your site will have a positive effect on potential donors, making it easy for them to figure out what it is you do and why they should care.) <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not mobile friendly<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When your nonprofit website is difficult to load (or completely dead) on a mobile device, you may as well not exist for that smartphone user. 56% of US adults are smartphone users<\/a>, and they\u2019re becoming more and more likely to read your emails and social media outreach on a mobile device. If your links take them to a site that\u2019s non-functional on their phone, you\u2019ve missed out on another opportunity to connect.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix it:<\/b><\/em> You don\u2019t need a complete overhaul to make your website more mobile friendly. Focus on a handful of key pages (think: home page, donation page, contact page, any other pages you point to regularly from emails or social media) and improve them with these 8 tips for making your nonprofit website mobile friendly<\/a>. (Bonus: Most mobile-friendly website tweaks will improve usability overall.)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
