Finally, a website designer that speaks your language.
Let’s create a custom website for your nonprofit that’s designed to amplify your mission, engage your community, and drive meaningful action.
Hire a former nonprofit executive director to design your website and get someone who understands your unique challenges, goals, and the importance of telling your organization’s story in a compelling way.
As a former major gift fundraiser, corporate partnership and grants director, and United Way Executive Director, I speak your language.
I know what it’s like to juggle tight budgets, limited resources, and the need to constantly prove your impact while trying to grow your donor base and secure crucial funding.
Unfortunately, many nonprofits aren’t prioritizing their websites when in reality, a well-designed site can be one of their most powerful tools for attracting donors, engaging volunteers, and showcasing the impact of their work.
If your website isn’t getting the job done, you don’t have control of your site so you can update it on your terms, or you need help raising more money online, we can create a custom website solution that meets your nonprofit’s unique needs and goals.
Oh, and we’ll help you figure out exactly what to say to your board of directors to ensure they understand the value of investing in a website that supports your nonprofit’s mission and growth.
One Nine Design isn’t your run-of-the-mill web design service. We get that as a nonprofit, you have unique challenges, like tight budgets and limited time. That’s why we focus on creating a solid strategy first, working with you to understand your goals, engage your supporters, and build a website that's easy for your team to update and manage.
01. Reach the right audience
With your new website, you’ll reach the right audiences—whether that’s your board members, volunteers, donors, corporate partners, clients, or community members. Instead of just aiming for high traffic numbers, we focus on drawing in people who are genuinely interested in supporting your mission and taking meaningful action.
It all starts with strategy: understanding your nonprofit’s goals, identifying your key audiences, and defining what success looks like for your website.
02. Mission-driven messaging
Many designers focus too much on the technical aspects or aesthetics of a website, but what really matters is content that resonates with people. With my background in the nonprofit sector, I offer professional copywriting that speaks your language and connects with your audience—whether that’s donors, volunteers, or community members.
It’s about crafting messages that truly engage and inspire while also being optimized for search engines.
03. User-Friendly Systems
You shouldn’t have to deal with expensive platforms or endless training just to keep your website up-to-date.
At One Nine Design, we focus on creating systems that are easy for you to manage and maintain on your own.
We’ll work together to choose the right platform and ensure you have the knowledge to make updates without hassle—keeping control in your hands, not ours. You run a nonprofit; I believe you can absolutely maintain a website!
“After reaching out and doing some research, I was able to see the amazing work done by One Nine Design. The whole project exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend One Nine Design to anyone in search of a new web design!”
— Benton W., YMCA
I created One Nine Design with nonprofits like you in mind after working in the industry for nearly 20 years. Having been in your shoes, I understand the unique challenges you face and the need for practical, effective solutions.
Proven success with our nonprofit partners

"Andrea is the nonprofit expert you need."
“Andrea designed our website perfectly, making it more functional for our nonprofit partners. She speaks the language, knows what nonprofits need, and offers guidance and expertise at every stage. She helped us think through systems, the user experience, and gave us wording to appeal to our specific audience. We recommend her to many nonprofits, and really enjoyed working with her. ”
– Bon Boone, Bernard McDonough Foundation

"Highly recommend!"
“This may sound over the top for a website refresh but I was thrilled to open my email and find messages from Andrea because it meant all of our website problems were being fixed quickly and with very crucial outsider input as well. Andrea brought it some of her own suggestions on the flow and text of the site that has drastically improved our Homepage, beyond what I was imaging, and well as other suggestions to lend credibility to users and potential funders. It was fresh eyes on our content, and not all web designers give you this additional input, they do the work of design as you suggest, but I really valued Andrea's ideas and suggestions (and execution!) - this set her apart and exceeded our expectations.”

"State of the art website"
“The best part about working with Andrea was her outstanding skillsets — technical expertise and communication; she provided clear, detailed information in the planning phase, and the timeframe (from start to completion) exceeded my expectations. The final product was a state-of-the-art website and the training was thorough and helpful.”
