Give the mission a consistent website voice and visual identity.

We develop messaging and design rules using the organisation’s approved mission and actual work. Programme information, supporter materials and campaigns should feel related while respecting the different reasons people visit.

What we do

Branding for nonprofits: Positioning brief, Visual direction, Usage rules.

Decisions that shape the work.

  • Which mission and impact statements can be substantiated?

  • How should programme campaigns relate to the parent identity?

What a shared direction is worth.

Without one agreed direction, every page, deck and ad re-litigates how the company describes itself. That argument is expensive, and it shows on the website.

Everyone describes you the same way

Sales, marketing and the website use one vocabulary for the offer, so a buyer hears the same thing in a deck and on a page.

Design stops being a matter of taste

An agreed identity gives every later design decision a reference to be measured against instead of a round of opinions.

New material is faster to make

Defined assets and applications mean the next landing page, pitch deck or campaign starts from something rather than from scratch.

Branding: scope of work.

The brief records the website scope, approved source material and responsibilities for review.

Positioning brief

Describe the organisation’s role and audiences without inventing distinctions or outcomes.

Visual direction

Explore typography, colour and imagery on programme and supporter-page examples.

Usage rules

Document campaign variants and responsible use of participant photographs or quotations.

“We didn’t choose them to be impressed — we chose them because we knew they’d deliver high-level results with no risk. As a CTO myself, that’s exactly what I look for in a long-term partnership.”

“And, you know, the great part about the fact that you hit the goal, it's not that you had to compromise anything that you were doing, because, honestly, the end result far exceeded what we could have imagined.”

Let's chat

“I've spent 10 years working across development and marketing. I started as a developer, but design, SEO and advertising were already part of the job. That taught me to treat a website as one system: the business, the content, the design and the code have to work together. At Norml, I lead the architecture behind our work and stay involved wherever strategy, design, development and search meet.”

Get started

Branding for nonprofits: questions.

Must we change the logo?
No. The work can extend the existing identity with clearer website and campaign applications.
Can branding promise that every donation produces a specific result?
Only a precisely supported, approved statement can be considered. The branding process does not establish that outcome.
Website 2.0 combines strategy, design, development and launch in one engagement.
