20 website concepts

Non-profit and community website examples.

People come to a nonprofit or community group for very different reasons. One needs help, another wants to give, join or simply show up for the first time. A good homepage tells each of them when to come, what it costs or asks of them, and that they are welcome, without making anyone dig or explain themselves.

These are homepage concepts for fictional organizations, designed by INSIDEA's team as examples. They cover food banks, animal shelters, land trusts, youth mentoring, community theater, affordable housing, adult literacy, community foundations, trade associations, museums and faith communities. Many serve two audiences on one page, such as people looking for help and the donors who fund it.

What these homepages put first

This week's times, at a glance

These faith community homepages lead with when to come: today's prayer times, this week's services or the next sit. First-time guests see the schedule before anything else.

See it in Congregation Har Zayit, Halesford Islamic Center and Bellpond Meditation Center.

Open slots and a running total

These museum homepages put the ticket picker first, with real times, spaces left and a total that updates as the family adds people or extras. Visitors know there is room before they drive over.

See it in Aldenmoor House Museum, Galthorpe Museum of Natural History and Gyrowell Science Center.

What it asks of you, said plainly

Nobody likes a surprise about the fee, the hours or the rules. These homepages show the commitment, the eligibility check or the adoption fee and steps before anyone applies.

See it in Firstrung Mentors, Keybrick Homes and Haverlee Animal Shelter.
