A proper website for your small charity.
Not a template. Not a website builder. A website that tells your story, earns funder trust, and helps the people you serve find you. Built by someone who works with charities every day.
No commitment. No sales pressure. Just a conversation about what your charity needs.
Small charities get a bad deal from the web industry.
Too small for a proper agency. Too serious for a website builder. Too busy to manage it yourself. There is a better way.
Big agencies price you out
Most web agencies start at £8,000 or more. They're built for businesses with large marketing budgets. Small charities either can't afford them or get deprioritised once a bigger client comes along.
Website builders leave you with something generic
Wix and Squarespace are fine for a local business selling products. They were not designed for charities that need to build funder trust, guide vulnerable people to support, and meet accessibility standards.
Doing it yourself takes time you don't have
Most small charity teams are already stretched. A website project on top of everything else often stalls for months or gets abandoned halfway through. The right support makes it happen, quickly and without drama.
Everything a small charity needs. Nothing it doesn't.
The Foundation package was designed specifically for small charities, CICs, and community organisations that need a professional website without the overhead of a full agency project.
It covers the essentials: the pages your funders will check, the content your service users need, and the technical quality that means the site stays working after launch. Payments are spread across the project so you are not paying for everything upfront.
If your charity grows and needs more, the Complete package adds strategy, a larger site, and more ongoing support. But for most small charities, the Foundation package is exactly what they need to start.

Built for small charities across the UK.
If your organisation does good work and needs a website that reflects that, Goodside is built for you.
Support services and crisis lines
Mental health, domestic abuse, addiction, housing, and emergency support organisations. Websites that help vulnerable people find help quickly, with clear signposting and accessible design.
Community groups and CICs
Neighbourhood-level organisations running food banks, community gardens, youth clubs, or local services. Websites that build local credibility and attract volunteers and donors.
Disability and health charities
Organisations supporting people with specific health conditions, disabilities, or caring responsibilities. WCAG accessibility is non-negotiable, and the content must be plain and clear.
Children and young people services
After-school programmes, youth mentoring, holiday clubs, and family support services. Websites that speak to parents and safeguarding professionals as well as the young people themselves.
Arts, heritage, and culture
Small theatres, galleries, heritage sites, and cultural organisations. Websites that communicate the value of your work to funders like Arts Council England, local councils, and trusts.
Faith and community organisations
Churches, mosques, temples, and other faith-based groups running charitable programmes. Websites that separate the community services from the congregation so funders can assess each clearly.
Two or three calls. We handle the rest.
The project is structured so your team's involvement is focused. No lengthy briefing documents. No chasing for content. We ask the questions, you answer them, and we build from there.
Discovery call
A 20-minute call to understand your charity, your audiences, and what the website needs to do. We cover content, structure, and any specific requirements like grant pages or safeguarding information.
Design and content draft
We design the site and draft the copy. You see a working prototype before anything is built in WordPress. We show you what we are thinking and give you the chance to shape it.
Build and review
We build the site in WordPress. Two rounds of revisions are included. You review the pages, tell us what needs changing, and we refine until it's right. No rushing, no scope arguments.
Go live and handover
We launch the site, run a training session with your team, and stay available for three months. You leave knowing how to update your own content. We leave knowing the site works.
