Recreating charity site layouts with WordPress blocks – 4 Greenpeace

This time round we’ll make things a bit harder as the Greenpeace site has some elements that are a bit trickier to recreate. This time I’m trying something different and showing a split screen view as I try to create a layout similar to the Greenpeace one. Theirs has some interesting mouse hover effects on […]

Recreating charity site layouts with WordPress blocks – 3 Shelter

This time we’re looking at the Shelter site, as of October 2023. Like the first two it’s actually quite a simple layout and I wouldn’t say that the design of it is particularly finessed but they are easy to use and accessible. I’m sure they change their content and layouts a lot and therefore having […]

Recreating charity site layouts with WordPress blocks – 2 STC

Next up we’re looking at Save The Children (as of October 2023). Their site has the distinctive condensed font in uppercase, and the red and white colour scheme of the Save The Children branding. Again, we’re not trying to exactly replicate this page, we’re looking at some of the different WordPress content blocks to see […]

Recreating charity site layouts with WordPress blocks – 1 CRUK

Let’s start off with an easy layout – the Cancer Research UK one. Their homepage changes regularly but here’s what it looks like in September 2023. It’s a nice and simple design. There’s a donation box as the main call-to-action at the top of the page, followed by three more boxes, followed by three more […]

Using AI to generate images for your charity website

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the big thing these days. According to some experts it’s coming for our jobs, and possibly leading to a Skynet style threat to our very existence. But it also has some great possibilities and it seems like it’s a tool we should all learn to understand and use. ChatGPT is the […]

Finding/using stock library images for your charity website

They say a picture paints a thousand words and they can be an invaluable part of your website design and content. Photos can do a great job of portraying your work and conveying emotion. Some niches within the charity sector lend themselves well to photographs for use on their site. International development charities spring to […]

The top 100 charity websites of 2022

I’ve made a couple of these posts in previous years and I’ve been through the websites of the top 100 charities (it’s a fairly arbitrary list based on the charities with the highest income at the time) to identify patterns or themes in their designs. I’ve just gone through and taken screenshots of the same […]

Using the WordPress block editor vs pagebuilder plugins

The WordPress ‘Block editor’ (known within the WP community as ‘Gutenberg’) has been around since the launch of WP v5 in January 2019. It’s fair to say that it divided opinion at the time, with many developers feeling like it was being released before the bugs were ironed out, and whilst the user interface was […]

Emergency / Low bandwidth charity websites

When emergency strikes you might find that your current website can’t handle the traffic that comes your way. Or you might want to create a new site that loads blazingly fast for anyone using even the slowest of mobile connections. Setting up a new WordPress/Drupal/other CMS site probably isn’t the best solution for your needs […]

Should you make a ‘static’ version of your old WordPress site?

I love WordPress and use it every day. But one of the issues with it is that you can’t just leave a WordPress site untendered for months or years without expecting security problems. It’s important to keep your version of WordPress and your site’s Themes and Plugins up-to-date in order to keep them safe from […]
