The mission behind our web design for charity

When we started planning our goals for 2025 and thought about the kind of organisation we’d like to be, one thing stood out: we wanted to do some good in the world. We’ve already had the pleasure of working with a few charities and realised how much we enjoy lending a helping hand.

Recently, we developed our “pay monthly website” solution for smaller businesses that need a simple online presence. We also built a brand-new website for Cancer Prevention Research Trust because their existing site was looking a bit dated.

That experience made us think: why not extend this opportunity to another charity?

Without knowing exactly which charity might need our help, we decided to launch a competition to find an organisation that otherwise might not be able to afford a new website. We hope this initiative sparks conversations with other charities about how we can lend our expertise. After all, if we can be charitable to those who are charitable to others, that’s a double dose of goodness!

"We are extremely pleased with the work Xanthos has done for us. Since launching the new site, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in donations coming through our website. Overall, we are very happy with how everything is running and highly recommend Xanthos to other charities looking to improve their digital marketing efforts."

Our charity web designers' process

Our process for building and launching the winning website will be the same as for any other site we build.

Collaboration with our charity website development team

We truly believe in teamwork. For the project to run smoothly, you’ll need to provide content and images. If, at the start, there’s a lack of communication or involvement, we may have to select another entrant. We want to ensure this free website really benefits a charity that’s ready to make the most of it!
