Designed to inspire
Charity websites
Give your charity the visibility it needs and the online presence it deserves.
Improve your online presence
Your charity improves people’s lives. Your website should tell that story.
You’re out there every day doing the work that matters, raising funds, supporting communities and changing outcomes for the people who need it most.
But too many charities and community organisations are held back by websites that don’t reflect the quality of their work, fail to connect with donors and volunteers, or don’t convert visitors into supporters. Sound familiar?
Don’t worry, we can help.

About our charity websites
Charity websites carry a weight that most commercial websites don’t. They have to do several things at once: attract and convert donors, recruit volunteers, communicate impact, help service users and satisfy the governance requirements set out by the Charity Commission.
Getting all of that right, in a way that’s accessible, clear and genuinely compelling, is no small task.
At QBD, we understand the demands of the charity sector. We know that budgets are tight, that internal resources are limited, and that your website needs to work hard for multiple audiences.
We build charity websites that balance clarity with warmth, professionalism with personality, and functionality with heart. The result is a website your team is proud of, your supporters trust, and your service users can rely on.
The process
From concept to reality
Getting a new charity website from QBD starts with a conversation about your organisation, your audience and your goals. From there, our team will put together a clear proposal covering the scope of the project, the timeline and the investment involved. Once you’re happy to proceed, we work through the following stages to get your new website live.

Enhance your charity’s online presence
Does your charity need a new website?
If you’re looking for a website that represents your charity and supports your mission, QBD can help. Our team has worked with a wide range of charitable organisations, from small community groups and local hospices to national fundraising charities, multi-service organisations and charitable trusts, and we understand that no two are the same.
Our charity websites are clean, accessible and built around your audiences. They’re designed to make giving easy, volunteering appealing and finding information straightforward for everyone, on every device. We also make them easy for your team to manage, so you’re not dependent on external support every time you need to make an update.
Our goal is to give your charity an online presence that reflects the quality of your work and helps you do more of it.
Our expertise in the charity sector
We know how charities work
We’ve worked with many charities and community organisations, big and small, over the years, so we know what works well and what doesn’t.
Our Head of Lead Generation, Rich Brown, spent more than 15 years working in the charity sector before joining QBD. He possesses genuine, hands-on experience across some of the UK’s most respected charitable organisations, and it informs every piece of work we do for charities today. Rich’s career in the sector includes:
Cancer Research UK
Organised Race for Life events and gained first-hand experience of large-scale fundraising and community engagement.
Acorns Children’s Hospice
Responsible for securing one-off and regular donations, appeals, In Memoriam giving, legacies and trust funding.
KEMP Hospice
Led a dedicated fundraising team, overseeing strategy across income streams and communications.
JustGiving
Sat on JustGiving’s Small Charities Advisory Board, gaining valuable insight into how charities of all sizes can harness online fundraising tools effectively.
Childlife
As a Trustee, supported four children’s and young people’s charities in working together and fundraising collectively.
Chartered Institute of Fundraising
Served as Vice-Chair of the West Midlands group, providing support, professional development and inspiration to fundraisers across the region.
The Joanna Brown Trust
Founded this charity in memory of his sister, Joanna, who passed away in August 2008. The Trust provides grants to young athletes and has supported projects around the world.
That depth of experience means we don’t just build charity websites. We understand the sector, the pressures and what good looks like from the inside.
QBD and the charity community
Proud sponsor of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Charity Forum
QBD is a proud joint-sponsor of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce’s Charity Forum, alongside our good friends at We Are Marketing. This regular gathering brings together charities and businesses with a genuine interest in supporting, collaborating with or learning more about the charitable sector.
The Forum meets regularly throughout the year and is open to charities of all sizes, as well as businesses that want to explore how they can engage with charitable organisations in a meaningful way.
Each event includes open networking, a facilitated round-the-room introduction and presentations from local guest speakers. It’s a community we’re proud to be part of, and one that reflects our commitment to the charitable sector that goes well beyond the websites we build.
