12 More Best Examples of Nonprofit Squarespace Website Designs and Inspiration - Part Two
I love recommending Squarespace for nonprofit organizations looking to manage their own websites! Clients are usually relieved to find a way to cut down on monthly costs and be able to perform updates themselves without emailing a website developer and waiting for it to get done.
Of course, if you're going to be working with a designer to get the site organized and ready to launch, you'll want to get some inspiration for the design of the site. I love when my clients come to me with websites they like the look or functionality of. It gives us a communication piece to go off of ensuring we're on the same page (literally and metaphorically). 😉
I've included notes on some of the 'Site Strengths' of each site - what helps it really stand apart from others in the field! Let's check out the examples below!
Website Design By: Made by NF
Site Strengths:
An easy to read, modern font, and professional photography make this site shine. If you know your readers are likely to understand some of your jargon and specific credentials, don't be afraid to use them - however, ensure you interchange them with descriptions and education for those who may not understand the ins and outs of your industry or field.

Site Strengths:
"Making a difference with Minecraft" - how cool is this block based design? This site showcases quotes as you scroll so you can hear first hand how the organization educates and empowers. Don't underestimate the power of the words of those you help - they will speak directly to others to get involved!

Site Strengths:
A prime example of showcasing terrific imagery. Featuring not only the online store, but the mission and history of the nonprofit makes a strong homepage, leaving the reader feeling connected with a greater purpose.

One color website? One strong website! Who doesn't want to give kids in the hospital a lego set to cheer them up! The positioning of their system as a win-win of sponsoring a kit/receiving website traffic is perfect for showing potential donors how rewarding on multiple levels it is to make a difference.

Check out this bright and fun site! Featuring terrific calendar use, it's showcasing the diversity of events and encouraging engagement from readers. See how they've also taken the opportunity to inform how they improve equity in three areas directly under the main header - keeping it clear so everyone understands.

Does this look like a simplistic/just like everyone else's website? No - a well built Squarespace site can be beautiful and detailed, all while being easy to manage. It gives a professional and high class feel through fonts and colors.
Website Design By: Perspective Studio
Site Strengths:
As a nonprofit, helping people understand exactly what you do is important - because it builds trust and helps them to visualize their participation! Bloom does a great job of highlighting their mentoring, facilitating and managing services, and defining what sets them apart on their front page. A home page doesn't need to be long to be effective

Site Strengths:
Have you hired a videographer at some point in your journey? If so, don't let those clips go to waste - sometimes they can make great headers for your website! If not in the header, consider incorporating them in a different location. Don't forget to add images of those you're helping as testimonials to the work you do - when readers feel "introduced", they'll feel more connected.
Website Design By: Golden Launch Creative
Site Strengths:
What's not to love about this site - gorgeous high quality imagery of events and people, a modern, feminine color and font set up, and that special feeling that you're joining a club, as soon as you hit the front page. A clear navigation with links at the top and and uncluttered footer - this website just hits the spot!

Site Strengths:
Bright, minimalistic and engaging - I'm ready to sign up for Squash Lessons! This sports focused nonprofit is the perfect welcome page to get potential players on board. A monotone palette featuring the yellow pop gives a modern feel, and allows the imagery to take over.

Site Strengths:
Youth Bridge Trust leads with a clear heading message, and uses one strong bold color to give a vibrant, innovative feel to the organization. There's also a great use of statistics on the home page - showing the volume of work they have done so far, which helps to build trust. And don't forget that newsletter sign up in the footer of the site - if someone wants to receive updates from you, make it easy to sign up!
Website Design By: Stanley Creative (Yours Truly 🙂 )
Site Strengths:
I loved working with OSHS to help them clarify what their website truly needed, and feature the services they offer for women online! Encouraging a welcoming, safe atmosphere through imagery and colors, the site details what the Safe Home Society can help women with, and how volunteers can get involved.
