A website that keeps your alumni connected

The short answer

Your free 5-page website

What an alumni website has to do

Alumni visit rarely and with one task: find the reunion date, update an address, look up a class year or make a gift. If it takes more than a few seconds, they leave and do not return until next year.

They search for "[school] class of 1995 reunion", "alumni association [school name]" or "alumni scholarship fund". Make the reunion and the update-your-info button the two biggest items on the homepage.

Reunions, chapters and class years

Many alumni groups have more than one audience: all graduates, specific class years, and regional chapters. We help you keep this simple on five pages instead of building a maze.

• One events page with the next reunion on top and a short archive below.
• A chapters section listing city, contact role and next meeting.
• Class notes with first and last name only when the person has agreed.
• A clear line about how your association relates to the school, so nobody confuses it with the official school office.

What is included free, and what Website Care covers

The build is free. It is the same build as our Launch Website, which normally costs $399 one-time. It covers up to 5 pages, a design made for you, words drafted from a consultation, mobile-friendly pages and 10 revision rounds.

The one cost is Website Care at $30/month. It covers hosting, the HTTPS padlock, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits. Reunion dates change every year, and small edits are included, so you do not need to pay for a rebuild. Recurring plans can be canceled anytime. If your association needs more than 5 pages, we quote it before any work starts.

How people find you on Google and in AI assistants

Every site we build has SEO built in: clear page titles and descriptions, headings that match what people search, structured data (schema) so Google and AI assistants understand your group, an XML sitemap and fast mobile pages. Your address or service area and hours are written the same way everywhere.

We put the school name, years and town in titles and headings in the way people really search. Your event and giving pages each get a clear heading so they match searches like "alumni weekend" or "alumni scholarship donate".

AI assistants like ChatGPT may be asked how to contact a school's alumni group. Clear, consistent facts on your site give them something accurate to say. We do not promise rankings or traffic. We make sure the basics are right so you can be found. Read more on our SEO page. A monthly SEO add-on from $50/month adds new pages each month, but it is never required.

Must-haves and pitfalls

• Never publish home addresses, phone numbers or personal emails of alumni.
• Do not post a full directory. Use a form that connects people through you.
• Get permission before posting photos of people, and credit the photographer.
• Use only logos and mascots you are allowed to use. Ask the school if unsure.
• Do not share old yearbook content without checking rights.

How to get started

Getting started takes a few short steps. This is part of our free nonprofit websites program.

1. Fill in the short form on this page with your association name and what you do.
2. A real person reviews it and confirms you are a nonprofit or community group. You do not need to be registered to qualify.
3. We hold a consultation so we can hear how your people describe you.
4. We write the draft pages and send them to you.
5. You review it, ask for changes (you get 10 revision rounds), and we launch.

Eligible small projects can launch in as little as 48 hours. We speak English and Spanish (se habla espanol).
