A website for your NGO that earns trust, takes donations and is easy to update
The short answer
An NGO website has to answer four questions fast: who you are, what you have done, how donations are used, and how to help. Add a donation flow that issues receipts, a volunteer sign-up and a page staff can update without a developer, and make the site fast on a phone.
Visitors to an NGO site are deciding whether to trust it. Funders, donors, volunteers and government officers each look for different proof. A site that makes the proof easy to find does more than one that looks impressive.
This is for you if
- You run a registered NGO, trust or society that needs a credible online home.
- You want to collect donations and sign up volunteers online.
- Your staff are not technical and need to post updates themselves.
This is not for you if
- You need a complex portal for beneficiaries with case management. That is a larger project, and I will scope it separately.
- You want to promise donors figures the organisation cannot back with records.
What a first NGO website includes
- A first screen that says what you do, for whom and where.
- Registration details and contact information where a funder can find them.
- Programme pages with real photos and the outcomes you can document.
- A donation page with a receipt that includes the details your accountant needs.
- Volunteer and event sign-up forms that email the right person.
- An updates page that staff can add to without a developer.
Waits for version two
- Annual reports as searchable pages.
- Recurring donations.
- Multiple languages for the communities you serve.
What donors and officials look for
Whoever is visiting, the same things build trust.
- Who runs the organisation, with names and roles.
- Registration numbers and any tax-exemption status you hold, stated accurately.
- What was done last year, with numbers you can prove.
- How donations are used, in plain words.
- A real address and phone number that someone answers.
Donations and receipts
A payment link is the quickest start. An integrated donation page lets you collect donor details, send a receipt automatically and keep a record your accountant can use. If your NGO has tax-exemption registration, the receipt should carry what that registration requires. I build to the format your accountant gives me.
Updates without a developer
Staff should be able to post news, photos and event details from a phone. I add a simple editor for that, so the site stays current, which donors notice.
What it costs
A clear NGO site with a donation page and sign-up forms fits the Starter or Growth plan, depending on whether you need donor accounts or integrations.
Hosted · Starter
from ₹800/month
Setup from ₹15,000. One tool doing one job — bookings, invoices, stock, enquiries.
Hosted · Growth
from ₹2,500/month
Setup from ₹40,000. A few tools, more staff, or something customers log into.
These are my own prices. Cancel any month on hosted plans. If you would rather run it yourself, the source and deployment are handed over for a one-time fee. You are never locked in.

What I have not built. I have not built a site for a registered NGO. The pieces it needs, clear pages, forms, payments and an editor, are ones I have built, and I will not claim past clients I do not have.
Common questions
- How much does an NGO website cost?
- A clear site with a donation page and sign-up forms fits my hosted plans: setup from ₹15,000 and ₹800 a month for Starter, or setup from ₹40,000 and ₹2,500 a month for Growth. Larger portals are quoted as fixed-scope builds.
- Can we collect online donations?
- Yes. I can set up a payment link or an integrated donation page that sends receipts. The receipt format follows your accountant's guidance and your registration.
- Can our staff update the site?
- Yes. I add a simple editor for news, photos and events so non-technical staff can post from a phone.
- Will the site appear on Google?
- It is built so Google can find and index it, with a sitemap and Search Console. Rankings depend on competition and time, and nobody can promise a position.
