DIY Nonprofit Website Makeover

Transform your website from crappy to happy in 6 weeks.

Now Accepting Guinea Pigs

In short, manageable segments over 6 weeks, you will build not just a website, but a beautiful, scalable asset for your nonprofit.

We’ll use the same process we’ve used for the past 17 years to guide you through building your site with exactly what you need to connect with donors, easily update the site and take donations online.

All without blowing your budget or investing hours on your own, fighting a website that doesn’t look or function like you need it to.

Makeover Your Website

HERE’S THE PLAN

You will start with a ready-made, all set up site and we’ll guide you through customizing it to make it your own.

You don’t have to write every word (unless you want to).

We write for nonprofit websites every day so we made fill-in-the-blank templates for you to start all your pages from. AND that same text will already be the site ready for you to edit.

You don’t have to design every page (unless you want to).

The pages in your ready-made site will be outfitted with designs just for nonprofits. All you have to do is switch out photos and colors to make it your own. Of course we’ll show you how to do more but if that’s not your jam, then you can just plug and play!

You don’t have to learn any code.

We’ve been training our clients to update their own websites for over 17 years, that’s hundreds of websites. And less than 5 of them know how to code. We’ll show you how to use the drag and drop editor to modify your pages and make updates on your own.

You can do the trainings live or work at your own pace.

We’ll have approximately 1 hour of live training each week so we can answer questions immediately for those who need it. Then we’ll break those trainings into small segments and upload the videos for you use at your own pace.

MayeCreate cared about our success as much as we did.

MayeCreate cared about our success as much as we did, and was invested in our success just as much. It wasn’t just “we’re gonna design this website for you and good luck, here it is!” It’s been an ongoing relationship–I feel like you’re part of our team now.

MayeCreate helps bring people into our family.

Because of MayeCreate, our website tells a story and we didn’t have that before. I think we told facts and figures and location, but MayeCreate really helps tell our story and bring people into our family.

They’re always so patient and helpful.

I didn’t really know a lot about marketing or communications, definitely not websites, so it was very helpful to be able to pick up the phone and bother someone from the office at MayeCreate and just ask them questions. They’re always so patient and helpful and I know I’ve learned a ton just from getting to work with those websites.

MayeCreate helped us build a nice, professional website.

Monica really made a difference because she was willing to take the time to sit down and talk with me. We didn’t know how to do it and we didn’t know anybody who knew how to do it, so I’m so glad we found her.

Steve Calloway

Minority Men’s Network & Educational Foundation

I’m really grateful to have MayeCreate working with us.

If someone came to me and was looking for a recommendation, I wouldn’t be hesitant to recommend MayeCreate. The entire team is responsive, creative, imaginative, fun, generous, and maybe most importantly, patient.

They respond quickly and answer all questions.

MayeCreate has been one of our longest and best business relationships. The entire staff is very personable and they respond quickly to any questions we might have about WordPress or adjustments to any part of our site.

Missouri United Methodist Foundation

MayeCreate helped us accomplish our goal.

When we first came to MayeCreate, we were looking to get our website rebuilt and redesigned to improve our search engine optimization. We had a goal of expanding our product beyond the state of Missouri, so we invested a lot of time in trying to develop the right content to do that. MayeCreate helped us accomplish that goal.

November 10th is our first live training!

All live trainings will be recorded and then broken down into smaller segments and post them into the web portal for you to follow along at your own pace.

You know it! We’ll record all live sessions and then break them down into smaller segments and post them into the web portal for you to follow along at your own pace.

Web hosting is the place where all the files of your website live. It is like your website’s home. A good way to think about this is if the domain name was the address of your house, then web hosting is the actual house that address points to. All websites on the internet need web hosting.

To roll up your site with all the fancy fixins you have to host it with us to start. If you’re savvy enough to figure out how to move it after it’s all done then more power to you. Give me a shout and we can work something out. But I know you’re going to love our hosting so much you won’t ever want to leave!

I’m going to shoot straight here. We host hundreds of websites. So we have to have a good service provider. If I had websites breaking down right and left I could never make a living.

We contract with a hosting provider who specializes in WordPress sites. Their service is slightly more expensive than others because every hosting account comes equipped with:

Automatic software updates (which keeps you site from getting hacked).
Automatic site back ups.
HUMAN BEINGS WHO ANSWER THE PHONE.
Fast site load time.
Security certificates.

And here’s the kicker. You get to call us.

If something goes a miss with your hosting you call MayeCreate and we’ll fix it for you. You don’t have to deal with it on your own.

WordPress – Here’s why we love it so much!

Are all cookies created equal?

It seems like they should be. They’re all just a combo of flour, eggs, butter and sugar and yet they all come out different.

WordPress sites are just like cookies.

They’re each made by a different baker.

So while the ingredients are the same they can all be used differently and the functionality of the end product is largely dependent on the person who lays the ground work for the site.

Our professional team of MayeCreate developers have been creating websites from the ground up to meet our client’s needs for over 17 years. And we’ve been using WordPress for the last 14.

We build sites so you CAN take care of them on your own. Because we love building sites – not being responsible for every single little thing on them.

We built our nonprofit site ground work with nonprofits just like you in mind. And we start every custom nonprofit website we build on the exact same platform you’ll be using to create yours.

So no, the website you build in our program will not be just like the one you have. Because if we baked crappy cookies no one would come back for seconds. So we carefully craft our website structure to satisfy your needs and allow it to scale as your nonprofit grows.

The only mandatory annual cost is webhosting. You will be responsible to pay for hosting each year, $240 per year.

If you choose to enroll in our optional Safe Site Program you will be billed an additional $300 per year.

If you would like additional tier 1 website support after launching your website you can opt-in to our support package for $300 per year.
