Charity Website Design & Marketing Agency.

Charities provide a range of services across several sectors meaning the complexity and scope varies from project to project. At Contra Agency, we prioritise timely delivery within agreed timelines and budgets. Typically, stakeholder research, reporting, design, and testing phases span one to two months. This may be extended to six months if you choose our comprehensive package including development, hosting, and launch. Prompt provision of images, information, and testimonials is encouraged, helping us to streamline every stage of the project.

The price of a charity website can vary greatly depending on the specific requirements of your project, typically ranging from £20k to £100k. While we may not offer the lowest rates, we’re proud of that as they represent the high quality of work you’ll receive, with our industry expertise spanning over 23 years. Our process integrates thorough research to deliver a seamless user experience that drives donations, trusted by leading organisations such as St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. With Contra, you receive exceptional value that aligns with your goals.

Yes, we offer comprehensive marketing and SEO services post-launch.

Absolutely. Collaboration is integral to our approach. The website must be welcoming and show your charity’s personality, which is why we always encourage creative input from the people who know the organisation best.

It’s important for all stakeholders we maintain clarity and efficiency to meet agreed timelines. With that in mind, we typically accommodate up to three revisions throughout the design process.

Yes, your dedicated project manager will act as your primary point of contact. As well as addressing any queries you may have, they will monitor the project timeline to ensure milestones are met in the agreed timeframe. Our Managing Director and Head of Marketing will also be on hand to support specific marketing or website-related queries.

Yes, your input will help to shape the look and feel of your website and once this is agreed, we will provide a comprehensive design system that governs visual and functional elements, ensuring consistency in typography, colours, and UI elements for efficient design and development. This system complements existing branding guidelines or can be developed to align with your charity’s brand identity. If you’re not happy with your charity’s existing style, you can also start afresh with a complete digital rebrand.

While we assist with SEO-optimised headers on the website design, we do not typically write all the website content as part of the web design and development scope. This is usually done by the client's internal team. However, Contra has a team of copywriters with solid experience writing for charities that can write both persuasive and SEO-optimised copy for your site. We usually discuss content and copywriting needs during our first connect call.

At Contra Agency, your charity benefits from our full spectrum of creative talent and technical expertise. Your success is our success, which is why we consider our team an extension of your organisation. SEO specialists, top-tier designers, and seasoned developers will strategically offer their expertise and insight throughout the project, giving you a comprehensive digital marketing package.

We remain completely transparent throughout the project and will frequently reach out to you before you come to us. Your dedicated project manager will provide regular email updates and remain available to address any queries. Additionally, we schedule frequent catch-up meetings with clear KPIs and actionable points to keep you informed and involved throughout the process.

Some marketing services take longer to produce results than others. The timeline depends on the scope of your project and the type of work required. However, you’ll be kept informed about the progress of your project through regular reports and analytics post-implementation, ensuring visibility into your return on investment (ROI) as marketing activities progress.
