Why Squarespace is Great For NonProfits
Fort Collins Web Designers Explain Why Squarespace is Great for NONPROFITS
Are you a nonprofit looking to expand your web presence? Here are some reasons why you should look into Squarespace
Squarespace is a great choice for many nonprofits that are established or are just starting out. The Squarespace expert designers and developers know exactly what needs to go into a nonprofit website to maximize donations and create a sizeable web presence. While Squarespace might not be the best choice for a sizeable nonprofit that needs a lot of functionality, it can be a great choice for smaller nonprofits who need a great looking website.
#1 Budget
“What’s this going to cost me?” is something that we hear all the time at Agave Studio. While Squarespace doesn’t offer a discount for nonprofits, it is helpful to know what you’re paying for when you sign up for the platform. With your Squarespace subscription, you get your hosting, unlimited storage, a mobile-optimized website, plus so much more. Also, when paid annually, we here at Agave Studio get your nonprofit 20% off Squarespace subscription pricing for your first year. It helps to be in good company!
#2 Design Features
While it helps to have a Squarespace expert in your corner, it’s easy to make a simple Squarespace site look good. You’ll be able to match your nonprofit’s brand colors and fonts to those in Squarespace plus have hundreds of pre-built page layouts to choose from. This automatically helps with setting up your Squarespace site and getting donations for your nonprofit as soon as possible.
Just a little FYI, Agave Studio does offer 20% off our hourly services (including branding packages), for your nonprofit.
#3 Donations
While Squarespace has a great built-in donations feature, it can get a little pricey if you don’t have an ecommerce plan with the platform and doesn’t allow for recurring donations. Luckily, it is very easy to integrate plenty of other donation managers onto your Squarespace site. DonorBox is our favorite here at Agave Studio. With DonorBox, your potential donors can set recurring donations at their price, donate in someone’s name, and leave a comment on the donor wall.
The integration of the Squarespace donation feature, or a third-party dononation manager such as DonorBox, is included in the the Agave Studio Nonprofit Package.
#4 Ecommerce Capabilities
Looking to sell some cool branded merchandise for your nonprofit? Squarespace has a powerful ecommerce platform to expand your ecommerce potential and let people represent your nonprofit. With Squarespace Commerce, you can sell multiple products and keep track of your customers, even let them sign up for your email list. All of the ecommerce functionality is automatically built into your site as well, so you don’t have to worry about installing separate applications or taking your potential customers to a different site.
#5 Marketing Tools
Last but not least, Squarespace has some amazing marketing tools to help you get your nonprofit seen on the web. From being automatically SEO-friendly, to being able to create a beautiful blog, Squarespace has plenty of built-in tools to help you expand your reach and donation potential.
