Websites & SEO for Irish
Non-Profits
Community groups, charities and social enterprises across Ireland often have the clearest purpose and the smallest budgets. I build websites that reflect what you do, make it easy for people to get in touch, and don't cost the earth.
Built to suit your purpose-driven organisation
Every non-profit operates a bit differently. I adapt your website layout to handle the exact way you engage with donors, showcase your community impact, and secure necessary funding streams in your local area.
Built to Welcome
A clean, accessible site that tells people who you are, what you do, and how to get involved, without any tech headaches.
Bookings & Events
Let people book spaces, find events, and stay connected. Simple enough for volunteers to manage, reliable enough to handle real traffic.
Found on Google
On-page SEO and localisation so the people looking for your services in your area can actually find you on Google.
Mirroring the quality of your cause
When local supporters search for a community initiative, they want fast, reliable proof that your organisation is trustworthy and active. Whether someone is on their mobile looking for immediate support services or an institutional donor is assessing your eligibility for a capital grant, your website needs to capture that high-value relationship instantly.
I build high-converting platforms through dedicated charity website development that matches the exact standard, pride, and strict compliance of your real-world operations. Our layouts drop the corporate fluff and focus entirely on what truly matters: turning local search traffic into confirmed volunteers, recurrent donations, and your next major community recommendation.
Every page is backed by our SEO content writing so your mission reads as clearly as it deserves to.
Built for Accessibility
Direct, Honest Pricing

Where I Work
I'm based in Sligo so I mainly work with organisations across Donegal, Leitrim, Roscommon and Mayo. However, most projects happen over calls, email and screen-shares, so location is rarely an obstacle and I can work with organisations right across Ireland.

Five steps, zero guesswork
Free consultation • No obligation • Quick response guaranteed
The Chat
We talk through what your organisation needs, who it serves, and what you want the website to do.
The Proposal
You receive a clear plan and a fixed quote before any work starts so there are no surprises or hidden costs.
The Build
I build your non profit website on WordPress, designed to reflect your organisation and work smoothly for every visitor, on every device.
The Refinements
You review the site on a private link before it goes live. We make any adjustments together until you're happy.
The Launch
I launch the site, submit it to Google, and walk you through everything so you can manage it yourself going forward.
Website design & SEO: What you need to know
Can donors make contributions or book spaces directly online?
Yes. I can integrate online booking, donation forms, or space reservation systems directly into your site. Everything is set up to work smoothly on mobile, so supporters and community members can book or contribute without any friction.
Is SEO included with web design for non-profits?
Basic on-page SEO is included in every project, so your site will be structured correctly, submitted to Google, and set up to be found for the searches that matter. Ongoing SEO work, such as regular content updates and link building, is available as a separate service.
Can we manage our own updates and edits?
Yes, since I build on WordPress with no restrictive code blocks, you retain full operational control. I also provide straightforward training so your staff or volunteers can edit text, swap photos, or add newly won funding badges in minutes without calling an agency.
How long does the entire design and launch process take?
On average, a standard community organisation web design project takes between 4 and 6 weeks from our first strategy chat to the day we go live, optimise your local SEO layout, and officially submit your new pages to Google.
How much does a website cost for a charity or community group?
Most projects start from €800, and you'll receive a fixed quote before any work begins. Some community organisations and social enterprises may also be eligible for grant support through schemes like LEADER or ORIS, which can help offset part of the cost.
Do you work with organisations that have very limited budgets?
Yes. I work with small voluntary groups and community organisations regularly and understand that budgets in the sector are rarely generous. I'll always be upfront about what's achievable within your budget.
Do you build on WordPress for non-profits and charities?
Yes, every site is built on WordPress. Your organisation owns the site outright, your staff or volunteers can update it without technical knowledge, and you're never locked into a proprietary platform or ongoing fees.
Can you help us apply for an Irish grant to fund the website?
I can point you toward relevant supports. Community and voluntary organisations in Ireland may be eligible for funding through schemes like LEADER or ORIS, which can subsidise part of the website cost. I'm happy to discuss what might apply to your organisation.
Ready to grow your Irish non-profit's website?
Tell us a little about your organisation and what you need. I’ll send over a straightforward roadmap and an estimate within one working day. There is absolutely no hard sell or pushy follow-ups.
