Website Design & Development

When you’re looking at ideas and inspiration for a new website, it’s easy to be dazzled by all the bells and whistles available. To keep to your organisation’s goals, we work with you to ensure you are getting the functionality you need and the features your team are comfortable with using without the help of developers.

As we work with you, can we help you decide which features will be useful and which may not. Your organisation might just need a robust but simple website launched quickly. This is why we have several ways of working with you; from a developed methodology that gives you the very best of web design capabilities at a low cost to a fully fledged digital ecosystem that requires custom and integrated workflow.

Whatever the budget, we will work with you to ensure you are meeting your goals and delivering a good online supporter experience. Why not chat to us about your organisation’s needs now?

We build our client’s websites on the WordPress CMS because it is the most popular content management system (CMS) for nonprofits and charities. It is also the world’s fastest growing CMS powering brand new blogger platforms to the world’s biggest brands.

Regardless of your organisation’s size, WordPress is an exceptional content management system that is secure, accessible and scalable for when you want additional website features and functionality.

Using our 20 years of experience building over 100 fundraising websites for organisations including Plan International, Leukemia Foundation and RSPCA NSW, we’ve developed a web platform that gives every NFP access to the very best technology and tools, regardless of their size.

The Marlin Web Platform is built using WordPress and offers best practice fundraising website templates, plug-and-play features and a user-friendly CMS.

It is designed to be a more affordable solution that helps charities of any size become more agile and responsive. It has the ability to adapt and grow with organisations, adding features and functionality such as ecommerce integration and member portals when needed.

Whether you want to create a marketing website to build your online brand presence, a fundraising website to raise funds or an online community to connect your supporters online, the user-friendly Marlin Web Platform can be customised to create a digital environment that suits your needs.

As a fundraiser, the ability to quickly set up emergency appeals and seek help from your supporters to respond to crisis events like the 2020 bushfires and the coronavirus is powerful and life changing. That is why you need an agile platform that enables you to communicate to your supporters when you need to.

With an easy to use content management system, your teams can be empowered to implement online fundraising campaigns and respond to crisis events within minutes.

All our web platform solutions are designed with a mobile first approach and compatible with accessibility tools to help you become WCAG 2.1 compliant.

We know the importance of making supporter data flow seamlessly through your digital ecosystem. Below are just a handful of third party systems we can integrate with your website. All of these integrations come out of the box on the Marlin Web Platform.

We like to consider all out-of-the-box solutions for your organisation’s needs to help you save time and costs. However where it’s not suitable, we utilise the WordPress and Laravel framework to build a custom and integrated solution for you.

This approach has helped many nonprofit organisations run their specific service delivery programs. For example, we’ve created a new digital platform for Sydney University to allow pharmacists to manage high risk medications for patients.

All our website and web application solutions come with a 30-day no fuss warranty period.

After that, our team can manage your platform to keep it running smoothly and secure. Our managed platform service includes hosting, active monitoring for potential security threats and plugin updates.

We also provide support services for your website or fundraising needs, with the option to pay per hour or per block of hours.

Our flexible support service packs will give you the flexibility you need to prioritise what you need, when you need it!

With over 10 years of nonprofit fundraising and digital experience, we have the skills to deliver:
