What to Put on a One-Page Website for Your Nonprofit

2/23/2026, 9:19:00 AM

Not every organization needs a complex website with dozens of pages. For many small nonprofits and community projects, a well-structured one-page site is more than enough.

The key is deciding what makes the cut.

Student teams working through programs like Volta NYC often start with one-page designs for organizations that are new or rebuilding their web presence. Here’s a layout you can use.

1. Hero: Who you are and who you serve

At the top of the page, answer three questions:

  • Who are you?
  • Who do you serve?
  • What do you help them do?

Example:

"We are a Bronx-based nonprofit helping middle school students build confidence through after-school arts and mentoring."

Include a clear "Get in touch" or "Learn more" button that scrolls to your contact or programs section.

2. Programs or services

Use short sections for each major program or service:

  • Program name
  • 2–3 sentence description
  • Who it’s for
  • How to join or get referred

Icons or simple visuals can help, but clear text matters most.

3. Impact snapshots

You don’t need a full annual report, but include a few proof points:

  • Number of people served last year
  • Neighborhoods or communities you work in
  • A short quote from a participant, parent, or partner

These make your work feel tangible and trustworthy.

4. About and team

Briefly share:

  • Your origin story (why you started)
  • A few key staff or volunteer leaders
  • Any board or advisory roles you want to highlight

People want to know there are real humans behind the organization.

5. Ways to get involved

Make it easy for visitors to understand how they can support you:

  • Donate
  • Volunteer
  • Partner or refer clients

Even if you only have one active option (e.g., donations), name others you’re planning for later.

6. Contact and social links

End the page with:

  • Email and phone
  • Physical address or service area
  • Links to your main social channels

Double-check that this information matches your Google Business Profile and other listings.

A one-page site isn’t a compromise; it’s a focused way to share what matters most about your organization without overwhelming your team or your visitors.

If you’re ready to move from "no website" to "a solid one page", student developers and designers in programs like Volta NYC’s Digital & Tech track can help you bring this structure to life and deploy it quickly.
