Charities need great websites
You're brilliant, but you don't do websites. Let me create your entire website in just
one week, saving you faff, time and expense.
Created for charities and not-for-profit organisations who have no time to spend building a remarkable website
You have a busy charity with so much to achieve and yet, the thoughts of your website sits heavily. The free time you need to even make a start, never comes and everyday moves you further away from ever getting it started/finished/updated.
That's why Design Week has been created especially for charities. I can quickly help you tick website off your list and build you a beautiful site with impact, purpose and ease of use in just one week.
Hi, I'm Lou
I specialise in the charity sector and love the passion and ambition of everyone I work with.
With my background in Boardroom and Senior Level digital strategy helping organisations turn complex ideas into meaningful online experiences, I know what gets your audience to act. When we work together I'll create a clear, simple strategy and purposeful design to build you a website that feels human and impactful without unnecessary complexity. And once we've worked through the simple step by step process, you can just leave the rest to me.
One week. One focused process. One professional website.
Step 01: Before your week begins
Book your chat with me.
Pay your 50% deposit and sign your contract.
I'll give you your Design Pack to complete, so you know exactly what we need from you. I'll review your content, brand and requirements before we start, so your Design Week can be focused and productive.
Step 02: Design & Build
I take care of the design and build, starting with your homepage and working through the agreed pages and functionality. You don't need to make any further design decisions.
You'll receive a short update each afternoon, so you always know where things are up to.
Step 03: Review & Refine
Your website will be ready for you to review on Thursday. You'll have one opportunity to provide consolidated feedback on the agreed scope,.
This isn't about endless rounds of revisions, it's about making the final tweaks and getting your website ready to launch.
Step 04: Launch & Learn
It's time to go live! We'll connect your domain, complete a 15-minute website walkthrough and spend 30 minutes together learning how to manage your new Wix website.
You'll also receive a written guide to support you as you keep your website inspiring, purposeful and up-to-date.
Step 05: 30 Days of Support
You're ready to show your charity off!
For the next 30 days I'll be here to help with questions about the website and using Wix.
Congratulations on getting your website done with no months of back and forth: just clear decisions and a great website.
Add-ons
I am always happy to add additional items into your website build but these will often sit outside of the Design Week and will be costed seperately.
I value your time, budget and resources.

Many charities know their website no longer showcases the incredible work they do but the thought of a large agency project can feel expensive, slow and overwhelming. Think Violet was created to offer something different.
