The Nonprofit Design Studio CIC: Free Websites for Nonprofits & Charities
Branding Website
A new visual identity and website for a UK-based nonprofit, who provide websites and branding for free.
The Nonprofit Design Studio CIC, established to empower charities and nonprofits globally, provides professionally designed websites either for free or on a part-funded basis. With a mission to amplify the impact of socially conscious organisations, The Nonprofit Design Studio ensures that its clients have the digital tools they need to thrive in a competitive space. Some of their partner nonprofits have gone on to raise over $1 million annually, demonstrating the transformative power of great design.
For this project, I developed a bold brand identity, designed an intuitive website, and created a dynamic portal with user-friendly UI. Every aspect was tailored to reflect their mission of change-making collaboration and global impact, ensuring the studio could connect with nonprofits and deliver impactful digital solutions.
Bold Design for Changemakers
I designed a fearless and bold brand identity that reflects The Nonprofit Design Studio’s trailblazing approach. The logo combines clean, confident typography with striking design elements that embody their role as changemakers in the nonprofit sector.
The brand’s dynamic green, aptly named High-Viz, is paired with modern, accessible typography and impactful layouts to ensure they stand out in a space where no one else is doing what they’re doing. Every design decision reinforces their fearless mission and innovative impact.
Project Deliverables
Brand Strategy & Design
The brand strategy was built to position The Nonprofit Design Studio as bold leaders in the nonprofit space. The visual identity reflects their trailblazing spirit with a vibrant green palette, accessible typography, and confident logo design, ensuring they stand out while remaining approachable and professional.
Website Design
The website was designed to be user-friendly, visually striking, and aligned with The Nonprofit Design Studio’s mission. From showcasing success stories to simplifying applications for free or part-funded websites, every page was crafted to inspire and engage nonprofits while driving meaningful action.
UI Design for Backend Portal
The backend portal was designed to help NDS efficiently manage donor applications. A clean, intuitive interface allows the team to track, organise, and mark applications as funded, ensuring a seamless process that supports their mission of delivering impactful design solutions.
