INDUSTRY

Churches and non-profits

Websites, online giving, events and member systems for churches and NPOs.

OVERVIEW

Technology for
churches and non-profits.

Churches and non-profits run on goodwill and volunteers. A website should welcome newcomers, keep members informed and make giving easy and safe. We build websites, giving pages and simple member or donor systems that volunteers can look after.

PROBLEMS WE HEAR ABOUT MOST

  • Newcomers cannot find service times or directions
  • Giving only happens in person, in cash
  • Events and notices spread across many WhatsApp groups
  • Member and donor details kept in personal spreadsheets

EXAMPLE SCENARIOS

How we would
approach it.

Typical situations we are asked to solve in churches and non-profits. They are examples, not client case studies.

SCENARIO

A growing church with no online presence

The situation

Visitors find the church through friends, but there is nowhere to check service times, and giving is only in cash on Sundays.

What we would build

A website with service times, directions, a calendar and prayer requests, plus secure online giving through PayFast.

SCENARIO

An NPO reporting to donors

The situation

Donations, volunteers and project spending live in separate spreadsheets, and donor reports take days to compile.

What we would build

A donor and project system that records donations and spending against projects and produces donor reports in minutes.

QUESTIONS

Churches and non-profits
questions.

Ask us something else
How does online giving work?

A payment gateway such as PayFast takes card and instant EFT payments and pays them into your bank account. The gateway charges its own fees.

Can volunteers update the website?

Yes. We set up simple editing for events, notices and photos and show your team how at handover.

How should we handle member information?

Collect only what you need and limit who can see it. Religious beliefs are special personal information under POPIA, so we design forms and access with that in mind.
