1. Send the essentials

Your charity name, charity number, main contact email and the website address you want to use are enough to get the project moving.

If you already have a website, keep using it until the new one is ready. The changeover should happen only after the replacement is tested.

2. Gather the visual bits

Send whatever logo file you have. SVG, PNG, PDF or even a clear screenshot is better than waiting for a perfect brand pack.

Useful photos include your venue, volunteers, activities, events, team, or anything that shows the real work of the charity.

3. Keep the copy practical

The website needs clear answers: who you help, what you do, where you work, how people can support you, and how to make an enquiry.

Short, specific copy is better than formal committee language. The site should sound like a real local organisation, not a funding form.

4. Decide the next step

For some charities that is an enquiry form. For others it is donation information, volunteer interest, event updates, or a simple email route.

The build should focus on the one or two actions that actually matter.
