Nonprofit Website Scorecard

Find out if your website is Helping or hurting your cause.

A 10-question scorecard that gives your website the clarity it has been missing.

Sound familiar?

If this is your team's website story…

I always hesitate before sending someone to our website.

We know it needs work. It's just never the right time.

It kind of just… lives there. Nobody's really responsible for it.

Our capacity is stretched thin and the website keeps getting pushed back.

…you're in the right place.

Here's why it happens.

Most nonprofits build a website just to be online with every intention of improving it later. But later never comes. Not because the website doesn’t matter. It does. It’s just hard to find the time and resources to get there.

Here's what it usually looks like:

Your website technically works. It's just not working for your mission.

That’s where the Nonprofit Website Scorecard comes in. A simple starting point so you know exactly what you’re working with.

This scorecard is for you.

This is for nonprofit leaders who know something feels off with their website but aren’t sure where to start. Whether you’re an executive director, development manager, or the person who somehow became responsible for the website — this is for you.

The Nonprofit Website Scorecard is a free PDF you can complete in about 10 minutes. No tech background needed. Just 10 questions about how your website is working today.

The questions cover three things your website should be doing well:

Clarity

Does a first-time visitor immediately understand what you do and why it matters?

Usability

Is it easy to navigate, donate, and take action?

Support

Is your website maintained, owned, and built to last?

When you’re done you’ll have a score out of 20, a clearer picture of what’s working and what isn’t, and a starting point for what to tackle first — wherever you are in the process.

The scorecard is a great first step. Once you have your score, I’d love to talk through what it means for your organization.

Hi, I'm Kim!

I help nonprofits turn their website into their most valuable tool.

I’m the founder of Alpha Webworks. Since 2008 I’ve spent the better part of my career helping nonprofits and small businesses build websites they’re proud to share, and the organizations that come to me already know they need support.

My background is a mix of graphic design and web development, which means I think about more than just how a website looks — I think about how it works, what it needs to do, and how it will be supported over time. I also know that you didn’t get into nonprofit work to manage a website. You came to this work because of the mission, not the technology. That’s exactly why I do what I do.

I enjoy working with nonprofits because the work matters. Your mission has meaning, your programs make a real difference, and your website should reflect that.

What nonprofit leaders are saying.

We had a messy and unorganized website that was not cohesive in brand, with lots of copy and a confusing user journey. Kim took the time to understand our needs and our target audience, and she created a website that is both visually appealing and user-friendly. She is not just a designer, she is a partner who will work with you to create a website that is both beautiful and effective.
