Ranked by confirmed relationships with entities that hold a verified website, then by how long the entity has held a verified website. An entity that others confirm comes first. A nonprofit needs a website to say what it does, recruit volunteers, take memberships and receive donations, with a team that turns over and a budget voted once a year. The agencies below do that work: design and development, donation forms and receipts, membership and member areas, event calendars, accessibility, and the ongoing care a site needs once it ships. They differ in who they serve, from a neighbourhood club to a national foundation, and in how much of the job they take on. This list ranks them on facts Markleex can attest. An entity that publishes its own space here, has its relationships confirmed by other entities, and has proven the website it operates, moves up. Rank is earned, and it is the same for everyone. The write-ups are ours. We read each site and describe what we found there, in one voice for every entry, so the list reads end to end. 1. Simafri (@simafri) - address: https://markleex.com/@simafri - confirmed_relationships: 5 - site: https://www.simafri.com/ - site_verified: true - founded: 2002 - pricing: Free for eligible nonprofits; Serenity for companies - best_for: Registered nonprofits that want a site someone looks after Fondation Simafri, the foundation Simafri runs, gives their website to legally registered nonprofits carrying a cause of general interest: inclusion, health, education, disability, social action, culture, environment. It covers the site itself, hosting and the SSL certificate, mailboxes on the organisation's own domain, the content updates it asks for, search visibility and the structured data that makes the page readable to engines and AI assistants. The nonprofit keeps its site and its domain, and names one contact to follow the work. Simafri has been in business since 2002 and serves customers in 42 countries; companies and freelancers go through Serenity, its all-inclusive yearly subscription. 2. Big Duck - sector_name: true - site: https://bigduck.com/ - based_in: Brooklyn, New York - best_for: Nonprofits whose message needs settling before the build Big Duck has spent thirty years on nonprofit communications alone, from Brooklyn, and its centre of gravity is the message rather than the build: brand development, campaign strategy, audience research and fundraising communications. A website comes out of that work rather than starting it, which is the right order for an organisation whose name says less than it should. The Phi Beta Kappa Society, the Guttmacher Institute and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation are among its clients. 3. Briteweb - sector_name: true - site: https://briteweb.com/ - based_in: Vancouver, with Toronto and Brooklyn - best_for: Foundations rebuilding brand, site and reports together Briteweb works with nonprofits, foundations and social impact organisations, and pairs brand strategy and visual identity with the website, the campaign and the annual impact report, so one team carries the story across all of them. It runs from Vancouver, with offices in Toronto and Brooklyn, and is certified both B Corp and Living Wage. TransLash Media, Trust Her and Ribbon Community are among the organisations it names. Its work suits a foundation whose identity and site are due for the same rebuild. 4. Constructive - sector_name: true - site: https://www.constructive.co/ - based_in: Jersey City, New Jersey - best_for: Foundations and advocacy groups repositioning a brand Constructive leads with brand strategy and positioning, then designs the system that carries it, so the website arrives after the organisation has settled what it stands for. Its practice covers branding, design systems, content strategy and web design, and it works with climate and environment groups, foundations and philanthropy, think tanks, public interest law, research and science. The Environmental Defense Fund, American Forests, the Rocky Mountain Institute, the FrameWorks Institute and the Endangered Languages Project are among its clients. It works from Jersey City. 5. Cornershop Creative - sector_name: true - site: https://cornershopcreative.com/ - best_for: Nonprofits rebuilding a site that has to talk to a CRM Cornershop Creative works for nonprofits alone and says it has earned the trust of more than 600 of them, across animal welfare, education, environment, faith, health and advocacy. It designs and builds on WordPress and WooCommerce, and wires the site into the tools a fundraising team already runs, EveryAction, Engaging Networks, Salesforce, Funraise. Web accessibility monitoring is a service in its own right rather than a box ticked at launch. It also manages Google Ad Grants and paid campaigns, and keeps sites on maintenance plans that carry no long-term contract. 6. Firefly Partners - sector_name: true - site: https://fireflypartners.com/ - best_for: Nonprofits whose fundraising, marketing and data sit in silos Firefly Partners is a women-led, B Corp certified agency that treats a website as one piece of a larger machine, alongside the CRM, the email programme and the data that moves between them. Its work covers website design and redesign, marketing technology implementation, digital fundraising infrastructure, automation and analytics, and it frames the job as aligning people, process and technology rather than shipping a design. The Southern Poverty Law Center, Kids In Need of Defense, Caring Across Generations and AIDS/LifeCycle are among the organisations it names. 7. Forum One - sector_name: true - site: https://forumone.com/ - best_for: Large associations and institutions with complex sites Forum One builds for the largest mission-driven institutions, and its client list says which league it plays in: AARP, the Smithsonian Institution, the Natural Resources Defense Council and United States federal agencies. It covers strategy, design, data and technology, and works with nonprofits, associations, foundations, think tanks, cultural institutions and governments worldwide. Its recent writing runs to artificial intelligence, workforce development and digital engagement, which is where its larger clients are spending. 8. Kanopi Studios - sector_name: true - site: https://kanopi.com/ - based_in: San Francisco and Victoria - best_for: Nonprofits on Drupal or WordPress that want a long partner Kanopi Studios designs, builds and then keeps improving websites on Drupal and WordPress, and makes the case that the support after launch is the part that decides whether a site stays useful. The team is fully remote, with its centres of gravity in Victoria and San Francisco, and it reports a 97 percent client retention rate. Its nonprofit work includes PEN America, First Tee, Humane World for Animals, Cohen Veterans Network and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. It is a certified Canadian Women Business Enterprise and publishes an accessibility statement covering its own site. 9. Mightybytes - sector_name: true - site: https://www.mightybytes.com/ - based_in: Chicago - founded: 1998 - best_for: Nonprofits that need accessibility and low-carbon sites Mightybytes has worked from Chicago since 1998 and was one of the first certified B Corps in its trade. It offers strategy, experience design, product development, marketing, accessibility and sustainability services, and holds itself to what it sells: everything it ships meets WCAG 2.2 level AA, and it follows the W3C Web Sustainability Guidelines. Its own homepage publishes its weight, load time and carbon rating as evidence. Feeding America, the Alliance for the Great Lakes, the Chicago Community Trust and Northwestern University are among its clients. 10. Wired Impact - sector_name: true - site: https://wiredimpact.com/ - based_in: St. Louis, Missouri - pricing: From $99 a month, build from $1,999 - best_for: Nonprofits with no technical staff and a fixed budget Wired Impact works for nonprofits alone and does the whole job for them: its team designs, writes and builds the site, then hosts it, updates it and makes edits on request.

Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics and International Rivers chapters are among its clients.
