When your nonprofit looks professional online, more people say yes to your mission
About Free Sites for Good
Most nonprofits are doing incredible work. Their websites don’t show it.
The organizations I know are out there feeding families who can’t make rent, teaching kids to read in underserved neighborhoods, helping veterans navigate the VA system, pulling people out of addiction, building shelters for dogs. They do work that changes lives.
But when you visit their website, you’d never know it.
The donate button is buried. The mobile experience is confusing. The design looks outdated–often built by a volunteer in 2017 or outsourced to someone on Fiverr when funding got tight.
They have a site, but it doesn’t convert. Visitors leave without donating. Potential volunteers can’t figure out how to get involved. The people who need help can’t find the resources.
But sadly, most leaders don’t even realize this is happening. They’re focused on the mission, not the website. And honestly, that makes sense. But when funding depends on online support, a poorly designed site becomes an expensive liability.
Free Sites for Good changes that equation.
We build professionally designed, conversion-focused websites for nonprofits at no cost. Strategy-first design that turns casual visitors into committed supporters. Real sites built to grow your mission, not drain your budget.
Budget constraints shouldn’t determine whether your cause succeeds. If the work matters, the website should work too.
If the work matters
your website should too.
If the work matters
your website should too.
About me
If nonprofits are out there rebuilding lives, the least I can do is make sure their website isn’t falling apart.
Hi, I’m Petra, and I build them for free so the people doing the real work don’t get held back by a site that can’t keep up.
My Why: There’s a woman I know who spent fifteen years cleaning houses. She was good at it—built up a steady client base, had her routes down, knew exactly how long each job would take. But by year fifteen, her back ached. Every morning, she’d wake up dreading the day before it even started.
She wanted out, but didn’t know how. Cleaning houses was what she knew. It paid the bills. Starting over felt impossible.
I introduced her to CIELO—a nonprofit that offers workshops and support for starting a business. They were running a free childcare certification program and she signed up. They trained her, walked her through the state licensing process, helped her figure out the insurance, the safety requirements, and all the paperwork that would’ve buried her if she’d tried it alone.
Six months later, she opened an in-home childcare. Now she’s got got a waiting list of parents who want their kids with her. Kids love coming there. She’s doing work that doesn’t wreck her body, and she’s excited to wake up in the morning.
That’s what nonprofits do—they help people. They change lives.
Now, CIELO is an established nonprofit with a proven footprint and a great online presence. But most of other nonprofits are trying to do that kind of work with websites that look like an intern built them in 2017. No structure, no strategy, nothing that helps visitors take action. The site ends up slowing them down instead of lifting them up.
I wanted to change that.
