What a new website should do for your business
Your site won’t be my first. Since 2016 I’ve delivered 154 Upwork jobs for more than 100 clients, and 94 of them were WordPress and Divi websites: new builds, redesigns and rebuilds for NewtonX, Keller Williams Realty Consultants, the Institute of Reading Development, the World Food Travel Association, Website HQ and Arlene P., among others. Every one is listed on my Upwork profile.
A price you know before work starts
A written, fixed quote after a free consultation. Sites start at $2,500 and the number does not creep once we agree on it.

From $2,500 one-time
A five-page site for a service business sits near that number. More pages, copywriting, booking or a store add to it. You get a written, fixed quote after a free consultation. No contract lock-in.
The short answer
A board asking “what should this cost” usually wants a number it can defend at the next meeting. Here’s what the published ranges say, by organization size:
| Organization or item | Typical cost | What drives it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY on a website builder | $19–$99/mo, billed yearly | Volunteer time, template limits | Squarespace pricing |
| Small charity (under $250K revenue) | $1,500–$4,000, typical $2,800 | A few pages, a donation form, an events or news section | Project Cost Estimator |
| Mid-size nonprofit ($250K–$1M) | $4,000–$10,000, typical $7,000 | More programs, volunteer signups, event registration | Project Cost Estimator |
| Large nonprofit ($1M+) | $10,000–$25,000 | Donor CRM integration, multiple campaigns, more content | Project Cost Estimator |
| Running costs, small charity | $50–$150/mo | Hosting, tools, maintenance | Project Cost Estimator |
| Running costs, mid-size | $150–$400/mo | Same, at a larger scale | Project Cost Estimator |
Project Cost Estimator is an estimating site that doesn’t build websites. Its ranges are by revenue, which is a reasonable shortcut: bigger organizations run more programs, and each program needs pages.
Donation fees
Every donation costs money to process, and these fees don’t show up in a web design quote. Project Cost Estimator figures that a nonprofit raising $100,000 a year online pays $2,500 to $4,500 in fees with a self-hosted form, or $5,000 to $8,000 on an all-in-one platform.
| Donation tool | Fee | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Givebutter, tips on | 0% platform fee, and Givebutter covers processing | Givebutter pricing |
| Givebutter, tips off | 3% platform fee, plus 2.9% + 30¢ per card | Givebutter pricing |
| Donorbox | 1.5%–1.75% platform fee, plus processing | Project Cost Estimator |
| Stripe nonprofit rate | 2.2% + 30¢ | Project Cost Estimator |
| PayPal nonprofit rate | 1.99% + 49¢ | Project Cost Estimator |
“Tips on” means your donors see a prompt to tip the platform at checkout. Some boards are fine with that, and some aren’t. Decide before you pick a tool, because switching later means rebuilding forms and moving recurring donors.
What moves the price of a nonprofit website
Number of programs. Each program needs its own page that explains who it helps and what a gift does. Three programs is a small site. Fifteen is not.
Donation setup. Embedding a form from Givebutter or Donorbox is quick. Custom recurring-gift flows, tribute gifts and matching-gift tools take longer.
Events and volunteers. Registration, ticketing and volunteer signups each add a form, and often an outside tool with its own fee.
Integrations. Connecting the site to a donor CRM so gifts land in the right record is often the single most expensive line item on a larger build.
Content. Staff at small nonprofits are stretched thin. If I’m writing program pages from your annual report and a phone call, that’s part of the price.
What to settle before you pay for a nonprofit website
What has to be on a nonprofit website?
- A donate button on every page, in the same spot, that goes straight to the form.
- What you do and who you serve, in one sentence, at the top of the homepage.
- A page per program, with real numbers you can stand behind and what a specific gift amount does.
- Ways to help besides money: volunteering, in-kind donations, events.
- Proof that you’re legitimate. Your EIN, board members, annual report or financials, and your mission.
- Stories, with permission, from the people you serve.
- An email signup. Plenty of visitors aren’t ready to give on the first visit.
DIY, a freelancer, or an agency?
DIY is the right call for a lot of small nonprofits, especially with a volunteer who’s comfortable on Squarespace. Pair it with a free donation tool and you can launch for a few hundred dollars a year. The risk is the site stalling when that volunteer moves on, so make sure logins belong to the organization and not to a person.
A freelancer fits most small and mid-size nonprofits that need a site that ranks, takes donations properly and doesn’t depend on one volunteer. You get one person who learns your programs.
An agency makes sense for larger organizations with CRM integrations, multiple campaigns and a communications staff that wants a team on the other end.
What will you need from me?
One person with the authority to approve pages, so the project doesn’t stall waiting on a board vote for every paragraph. A list of your programs and who each one serves, plus your most recent annual report, which is where most of the program copy comes from. Which donation tool you’ve chosen, with the embed code or a login. Photos of real people and real events, with permission. Your EIN, board list and mission statement as you want them worded. Logins for your domain and current site, registered in the organization’s name. And a few hours across the project to review what I send before it goes live.

How it works
How a website project runs, from the first call to launch
- 01
Discovery
A short questionnaire, then a call about your customers, your competitors and what a good month looks like.
- 02
Design
I design the homepage first. You approve the direction before I build the rest.
- 03
Build and launch
Every page built and tested on real phones. Every old page redirected, so the rankings you have carry over.
- 04
After launch
I stay around for questions and changes. If you want updates handled for you, that is my management plan.
Who you'd work with
The web designer and local SEO consultant you'll actually talk to
I'm Ryan York, and WebPossible is a one-person web design and SEO company in Harrison Township, Macomb County. I learned the work as a scuba diver in the Florida Keys, tired of waiting on the person who ran our website, which is why I think about the phone ringing first and the design second. There's no team to hand you off to. The person who answers your first call is the person who designs your website, builds it and checks your rankings.

Kara D.
I hired Ryan to help improve the SEO of my business website and he has been so easy to work with from the time I submitted my inquiry through the finishing touches. He is extremely responsive, organized in his approach, and thoughtful in his execution. I had many questions that I threw at Ryan, and he was able to answer them all, which made me feel really good about the entire process. Since the initial work started, I have added on more page updates because I am already seeing positive results. I look forward to continuing to work with Ryan and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other business owners that I know!
Operations Manager, Friendly Logistics
Communication is key, and that's his strong suit.

I have used Ryan for many years and on many client websites, he has always been responsive, efficient and been great to work with. With his expertise, he has been able to facilitate creating websites I am proud of, and I have always been able to count on him. I trust him completely and have recommended him to my past clients for ongoing work.

Ryan was a perfect fit. He's my first call if I ever need any help establishing or increasing my online footprint.

Ryan had excellent attention to detail and delivered with quality and speed when necessary.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about my web design process and pricing
Can a small nonprofit get a decent website for under $1,000?
Yes, if a volunteer builds it on a website builder and you use a free donation tool. Squarespace starts at $19 a month billed yearly, and Givebutter's free plan charges no platform fee when donors leave tips. The cost moves to someone's time instead of your budget.
How much should we budget each year after launch?
Project Cost Estimator puts running costs for a small charity at $50 to $150 a month for hosting, tools and maintenance. Donation processing fees come on top of that and scale with what you raise.
Do you offer a nonprofit discount?
My sites start at $2,500 for everyone, and every project gets a fixed written quote. The way to keep a nonprofit site affordable is to keep the scope tight at launch and add to it later, and I'll help you decide what can wait.
Should donations happen on our site or on a platform's page?
On your site, through an embedded form, when you can. Donors stay on a page with your name and story, and you keep the donor relationship. Most donation platforms offer an embeddable form, so this rarely adds much to the build.
Does a nonprofit website help with Google Ad Grants?
It's required. Google's Ad Grants program gives qualifying nonprofits up to $10,000 a month in search ads, and those ads have to point somewhere. Clear program pages with a single action on each one make the grant worth more.
