Human centred design

We use human centred design methodologies to produce an excellent web design for NFPs and an easy user experience for all audience groups.

Easy to use technology

Working with Heartburst was a great experience for our team. We were lucky enough to have Nick lead us through a very well thought out design session, Hermes on hand with very prompt updates / fixes, and the end product captured the look and feel that we were hoping for when we started the project. A big thank you to the whole team for all the hard work and collaborative approach.

Our web design process for nonprofits

Discovery

We kick off our projects with collaborative discovery workshops. Out NFP web consultant team will engage with your key stakeholders and unpack requirements. Using human centred design methodologies alongside recommendations from an audit of your existing NFP website, we recommend optimal information architecture and technology pathways. 

Design

With a strong heritage as a web designer for NFP, our team are passionate about creating award-level designs that are both functional and beautiful. We work collaboratively with our NFP clients to create an intuitive user experience that’s impressive and on brand.

Build

Our web development team craft robust websites, configuring an easy editor experience and integrating with your key systems. We follow best practices to ensure our websites are fast, found in search, and accessible for all relevant audiences.

Content

Building on recommendations from our discovery phase, we assist with content production. This includes specialist nonprofit copywriting, photography, and beyond. We provide a turn key solution with content load and data migration services.

Training

Our upbeat CMS training sessions empower your team to manage your site post-launch. We cover general topics as well as your unique functionality. Training can be delivered in-person or online (or both!) and sessions are recorded for future reference.

Launch

We take the stress out of the go live process. To ensure a smooth transition to launch, we coordinate necessary technical changes and work through our go-live checklist. Hosting accounts and service plans are established, so you’re ready to set sail!

Website technology for nonprofits

We offer a range of CMS and eCommerce platforms, tailored to your needs. Rather than jumping to conclusions about technology choice, we seek to understand your unique organisation. We’ve always been passionate about providing an easy to use experience for content editors, while providing advanced functionality and integration when required.

Your NFP digital partner

At Heartburst, we’re about strong relationships not transactional projects. We want to partner with you in successful web design for your NFP, but more importantly in the success of your mission. Our purpose is to enable your impact.

Service desk

Websites are not set and forget! Our Service Desk provides you with ongoing support as you add content, launch new initiatives and run campaigns. We have service plans available that allow your digital budget to ebb and flow throughout the year.

Optimisation plans

Once your website is live, our hard work is put to the test by real world users. Our Optimisation Plans provide regular consultation, insights and support to track your metrics toward digital success. Our focus includes analytics, search, conversion rate, and accessibility.

Hosting

Reliable Australian based web hosting is a vital ingredient in the NFP tech stack. Our managed hosting services take the hassle out of running your website, with server infrastructure in local data centres and cloud providers. We monitor uptime 24/7 and we’re only a phone call away.

Heartburst were amazing to work with for our website redesign. They were easy going and offered many options to bring our idea to life and absolutely nailed it. Would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone and we’re super pleased with the website and the ongoing support offered.
