5 Quick Wins for Your Nonprofit Website in 2026

Your nonprofit website is often the first interaction someone has with your organization. If it doesn’t do its job, you risk losing the support you need to fuel your mission. The good news? Improving your website doesn’t always require a rebuild. Here are five simple, updates that can help your nonprofit website work harder for you in 2026.

1. Inform and Inspire Your Audience Right Away

When someone lands on your website, they should quickly understand what you do and who you help. Your site should also get visitors excited through design, imagery, etc.

Quick check:

• Is it immediately clear what your organization does?
• Does your homepage create curiosity or emotional connection?
• Is your mission communicated in plain language?

2. Simplify Your Navigation and Content

Too many nonprofit websites try to say everything at once. This can make it tough for new audiences to follow along.

Quick check:

• Are your main menu items limited to 8 or less?
• Are important pages easily accessible and called out?
• Do pages speak in clear language users can easily read and relate to?

3. Make It Easy to Donate or Get Involved

If someone wants to help, don’t make them work for it.

Quick check:

• Is there a clear Donate or Get Involved button?
• Do these buttons appear on mobile?
• Is your Donate platform easy to use?

4. Improve Mobile Experience

Most nonprofit traffic is from a mobile device. Many sites are still not designed properly for mobile traffic.

Quick check:

• Are buttons easy to tap?
• Is text readable by your target audience or demographic?
• Do pages load quickly on a phone?

Although the items in the above checklist seem simple, they can make a big difference for your organization. Need some help or wondering how to get started? Contact us today!
