Accessible storytelling
Story-first design built to accessibility standards, so every supporter can experience your impact regardless of device or ability.
Nonprofit web design that helps good work grow.
Your mission deserves a website that works as hard as your team.
Nonprofits are a key driver of the common good, and we treasure every opportunity to bolster organizations whose missions align with ours. Braid provides discounted rates to nonprofits, and we bring the same strategy, design, and engineering to their websites that we bring to our largest commercial clients.
We built the publishing platform behind Charlottesville Tomorrow, the nonprofit newsroom serving the Charlottesville-Albemarle area, and a playful, powerful site for Pebble Tossers, a nonprofit equipping youth to lead through service. We also donate the web design and development behind beCamp, Charlottesville's community-run tech unconference. Many nonprofit websites begin with our Accelerator Website program and grow from there with ongoing maintenance.
What we build for nonprofits.
Fundraising & donations
Donation flows and giving pages integrated with the payment and CRM tools your development team already uses, tuned to reduce friction at the moment of generosity.
Campaign websites
Focused sites for capital campaigns, annual reports, and advocacy pushes, designed to make one case clearly and drive one action.
Memberships & volunteers
Member directories, volunteer signups, and event registration that keep your community engaged and your staff out of spreadsheet triage.
Editorial workflows
Publishing systems for newsrooms and communications teams. Charlottesville Tomorrow's reporters publish richer stories on a platform we designed around their newsroom.
Stewardship & support
Training, documentation, and maintenance plans sized for nonprofit budgets, so the website stays healthy long after launch.
Charlottesville Tomorrow
A bespoke publishing platform pairing WordPress editing with a Vue.js front-end. Reporters publish richer stories, and time on site nearly doubled. Read the case study here.
Pebble Tossers
A playful and powerful custom WordPress website for a nonprofit committed to equipping youth to lead through service.
beCamp
beCamp is the Charlottesville "un-conference", planned by the people who show up. Braid sponsors beCamp by donating all web design and web development associated with the event.
Let’s put your mission front and center.
