Accessibility and compliance

The rules New York organizations work under

The Department of Justice says the ADA requires organizations open to the public to make their web content accessible, and programs that receive federal funding also fall under Section 504.

WCAG 2.2 AA is our default

WCAG 2.2 is the current W3C recommendation and includes every WCAG 2.1 AA criterion, so building to it covers the federal and state standards above.

FAQ

Nonprofit web design in New York: questions, answered

Do you build sites for small New York nonprofits as well as large ones?

Yes. We work across budgets and recommend a tailored or templated approach based on your goals, content and staff capacity rather than one fixed package.

Can our New York team update the site without a developer?

Yes. Every build ships with editor roles, reusable page sections and recorded training so staff can publish programs, events and campaigns themselves.

How much does a nonprofit website cost in New York?

We work with any budget and do not publish one starting price. After a short discovery call we recommend tailored or templated options based on your content, donation and CRM integrations and timeline, and quote a fixed fee.

Which platform is best for a nonprofit website?

WordPress fits most nonprofits because staff can edit it easily and it integrates with common giving tools. Drupal fits larger organizations with complex content and permissions. Webflow fits small teams that want a design led marketing site.

How do you increase online donations?

We shorten the donation path, make the page fast on phones, offer monthly giving where it fits and connect gifts to your CRM. M+R's 2025 Benchmarks found monthly giving made up 31% of nonprofit online revenue in 2024, so we design for it. We do not promise a specific uplift.

Does the ADA apply to nonprofit websites?

The Department of Justice says the ADA applies to the web content of organizations open to the public, and federally funded programs also fall under Section 504. We build every nonprofit site to WCAG 2.2 AA. Ask your counsel about your specific obligations.
