Does your website love you back?

We don't need to tell you that getting your not-for-profit organisation online is a brilliant way to connect with potential supporters, tell the world about the great stuff you do and persuade people to get involved.

But really, let's face it, looking after a website can turn out to be a bit of a pain.

Keeping it up to date can be time consuming, especially when you’re incredibly busy with a million and one other jobs that need to be done. On top of that, it’s sometimes hard to know if your site is achieving anything or whether all your effort is paying off.

Try some Jam

Jam offers you a straightforward way to create and look after a website for your organisation, along with somewhere to turn for help and inspiration if you get stuck. We’ve worked with not-for-profits of all kinds to develop a practical digital strategy that makes things happen in the real world.

We’re building a friendly software tool, a helpful community and a tried-and-tested recipe for online sustainability and effectiveness.

Jam is designed especially for the voluntary sector: we’re funded by the Nominet Trust to help not-for-profits and community groups communicate better online.

Our approach

Our process helps you formulate your online goals, express them effectively, and prompt visitors to take action. You’ll focus on who you want to talk to, what you want to say to them, and what you need them to do. After all, if your visitors aren’t clear about what action to take, then your website isn’t working. (For instance, we hope you will register to try Jam out for your organisation).

You will end up with a site that’s effective, manageable and geared towards practical results.

Get to the point

You concentrate on crafting your message, and we'll make sure everything else keeps running smoothly, works perfectly for all your users (even the ones browsing on their phone), and does everything necessary to comply with accessibility best practice.

No small print

Our ambition is sustainability before profit. We’re hoping Jam will cost around £1 a week (this price covers everything you need except a domain name - we promise we won’t ever try to sell you any add-ons or extras). We think it’s great value.

Design partners

Planning and managing your website is a team effort. Involving everybody makes your site more interesting and shares the work. We feel just the same about the process of building Jam, so we’re collaborating with a fantastic group of co-design partners.
