The exact brief that built the example
Not an illustration of the kind of thing you could write. This is the sentence that was typed, and Clearwater Collective is what came back. Pressing the button above starts you with it already in the box, to change however you like.
A site for a river cleanup nonprofit called Clearwater Collective: home with mission hero and impact stats, volunteer page, donate info page.
Open Clearwater Collective to see the finished site running, and remix it into your own project in one click.
What this kind of site has to get right
A nonprofit site is asking for two different things from two different people, and the common mistake is to build one page that asks for both badly. The generated site separates them: volunteering gets a page about time, donating gets a page about money, and the home page carries the mission and the numbers.
Impact figures are the load-bearing element. A stat with a period attached is evidence; a stat without one is decoration. They are generated as structured data so that updating last year's number is a sentence rather than a hunt through the markup.
Budget is the reason this matters for a small organisation. A site that costs nothing to run and can be changed by whoever is on the committee this year is worth more than a beautiful one that goes stale the moment the volunteer who built it leaves.
What it needs
- A mission statement a stranger understands in one read
- Impact figures with a period attached to them
- A volunteer route that asks for time, clearly
- Donation details that survive an audit
- A site the next volunteer can change without training
Frequently asked questions
- Can we take donations through the site?
- The site carries your existing donation link out of the box. For payments handled in the project itself, connect your own accounts and ask; nothing is routed through us.
- Can a volunteer update it later?
- That is the point of editing by asking. Changing a figure or adding an event is a sentence, so it does not depend on whoever originally built the site still being around.
- What does it cost to run?
- A published static site has no running cost on our side beyond the plan you are on. A site that needs a managed database is the case that costs money, and it is opt-in.
