Kia ora! I’m James, a digital producer and designer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I work with charities, non-profits, NGOs, and mission-led organisations to help them use their websites well so their mahi is easier to understand, more trusted, and better supported.

Free websites for charities in New Zealand

I offer free website strategy, design, and build for charities and non-profit organisations in New Zealand. This helps organisations improve how they communicate online, without the pressure of upfront cost.

Strategy, design, and build are free.
A small monthly fee applies only once the website is live.

What this page is about

This page explains how my free websites for charities in New Zealand offering works, who it’s for, what’s included, and what to expect.

It’s designed to be clear and straightforward so you can decide whether it’s right for your organisation. There’s no obligation and no pressure — just an honest explanation of how I work.

Who free charity websites are for

This service is intended for organisations that are doing good work and need help communicating it online.

It’s a good fit if you are:

  • a registered charity or non-profit in New Zealand
  • an NGO or community organisation
  • working with a limited digital budget
  • looking to improve donations, volunteers, or engagement

If you’re unsure whether your organisation qualifies, you’re still welcome to get in touch.

What’s included in a free charity website

Each of my free websites for charities in New Zealand includes the essentials needed for a clear, functional, and trustworthy online presence.

This typically includes:

  • website strategy and planning
  • a clear sitemap and page structure
  • homepage and key page design
  • full website build in Webflow
  • mobile-friendly and accessible layout

The goal is to create a website that’s easy to understand, easy to trust, and easy to take action on.

How the process works

I work in stages so decisions stay focused and manageable.

  • We start with a free strategy chat
  • I plan the structure and pages
  • I design and build the website
  • We review and refine together
  • The site is launched when you’re ready

This approach gives space for feedback and ensures the final result feels right for your organisation.

What does it cost?

There is no upfront cost.

  • Strategy, design, and build are free
  • Hosting and ongoing support apply once the site is live
  • Monthly fees start from $149 NZD

You only pay once the website is launched and supporting your organisation.
