Look as good as the work you do

Web Design for charities, non-profits & ethical organisations – built by someone who's worked in the sector.

I've been where you are… that makes a lot of difference.

I've spent twenty years in design and over a decade working inside a charity. This means I know how organisations like yours actually work – the funding cycles, the trustee decisions, the gap between what you want your website to do and what your budget allows. At Big Pixel, I design and build bespoke websites that help charities tell their story, engage supporters, and make the most of every pound they spend online.
  • Beautiful, user-focused web design that reflects your values.
  • Strategic UX & messaging that drives action.
  • Secure, scalable development built for growth.
  • Branding & visual identity that builds trust.
  • SEO-ready sites so more people can find you.

Web Design & UX

Is your website costing you supporters without you realising?

If visitors can't find what they're looking for quickly, they leave. If your donation page is confusing, they don't donate.

I design websites that are clear, intuitive, and built around what your visitors actually need to do: donate, sign up, find information, get in touch, or simply understand why your work matters.

I work with you to understand your supporters, your goals, and the user journeys that matter most. I then design something that communicates your mission clearly, and compels people to act.

Web Development

A web app that breaks when you need it most isn't a website — it's a liability.

Whether you need online donation forms, event registration, member portals, newsletter integration, or something entirely bespoke, I build websites and web apps around the way you work. If it's a completely new area for you, then I talk with all stakeholders to build something you all understand.

Every site comes with CMS training so your team can manage day-to-day content updates confidently, without needing to call a developer every time you want to change a page.

Branding & Graphic Design

People decide whether to trust you before they read a single word.

Your brand is doing work before anyone opens your website, reads your leaflet, or hears your name spoken aloud. If it looks inconsistent, or generic, it undermines confidence in everything you do — even when the work itself is life-changing.

I create logos, colour systems, typography, reports, and campaign materials that communicate who you are clearly and consistently — across your website, your annual report, your social channels, and everything in between.

Working with people who make a difference

Working with some agencies can mean spending the first few meetings explaining how your sector operates: the funding restrictions, the reporting requirements, the trustee oversight. It can be exhausting, and you may end up paying for their learning curve.

I've worked inside the charity sector. I know that your website probably sits in a very long list of priorities. I know that your budget is a fixed, precious thing — not a starting point for negotiation.

I chose to work in this sector deliberately. It's not a sideline. It's why I set up Big Pixel in the first place. I'm a member of Amnesty International, I support digital rights and LGBTQ+ equality, and the organisations I work with tend to reflect those values.

How I can help organisations like yours:

  • Websites that clearly communicate your mission and are actually easy to keep updated
  • Donation pages and forms that work properly on every device, because a broken donate button is a real problem
  • Newsletter sign-ups and CRM integration that your team can actually manage
  • Genuine WCAG accessibility compliance — important both for your audience and for demonstrating best practice to funders
  • Ongoing support and training so your team feels confident long after launch

What my clients say

We really appreciate the work Big Pixel did with us, particularly on the Mailchimp project. Their support has helped us put stronger foundations in place, and the improvements to structure and usability have made a clear difference for the team.

We couldn't be more grateful to Big Pixel for their rapid work to give us a presence when we needed to raise the profile of Marine Conservation in Norfolk. Our myriad of small groups struggled to gain attention and a prominent, professional website was a key part of our strategy for impact.

Big Pixel’s one-stop design and authoring gave us a strong identity, clear graphic branding, and an attractive site as a platform for our volunteers. We owe them many thanks!

Straightforward. Transparent. No nasty surprises.

You've probably had the experience of a project that seemed simple until it wasn't — unexpected costs, missed deadlines, a developer who goes quiet when things get complicated. I work differently.

You'll know what's happening at every stage. You'll have access to the project board. And if something changes, I'll tell you straight away — what it means, what it costs, and what your options are.

Steps I usually take:

  1. Discovery & Strategy — Understanding your mission and audience
  2. Design & Messaging — Crafting visuals and words that connect
  3. Development & Testing — Build, refine, and test for all users
  4. Launch & Support — Go live with confidence, with ongoing support
