A website for an animal rescue is priced by how many paths you need to serve: people who want to adopt, foster, volunteer or give. Each path needs to be short and obvious, because visitors arrive with one intent and leave quickly if they cannot find it.
The price at a glance
Most animal rescues fit Business Plus: $989 one-time for up to 20 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical rescue organization site covers Home with an adopt button, Available animals, Adoption process, Foster and volunteer, Donate and Contact.
What changes the price for a rescue organization
- ✓Animal listings — Photos and short bios for each animal take time to write and keep fresh, and a bigger roster means more upkeep
- ✓Adoption process pages — Explaining application steps, home visits and fees you set requires careful and kind wording so people do not give up
- ✓Foster and volunteer information — Describing needs and expectations helps the right people step forward and requires clear sections for each role
- ✓Donation setup — Linking to a giving tool you trust, or helping set one up, needs prominent placement and sometimes recurring options
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A small rescue can run on a home page, an available animals page, an adoption process page, a foster page and a donate page. Keep listings to the animals currently in care, link out to your application, and use one giving link. A separate page for each animal is not required to get started.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Donation platform — We link to the giving tool you use or help set one up, and processing fees belong to that provider
- ✓Adoption application software — If you use a service to manage applications, we connect to it and its plan stays yours
- ✓Photography — Clear photos of each animal matter, and you may want time or help taking them
- ✓Domain and email — A name matching your rescue is a small separate cost through the registrar
When it makes sense to step up
Choose the next package if you run several locations, many animals with individual pages, events like adoption days with their own calendars, or separate programs such as transport, medical funds and community outreach. A rescue that posts new animals daily and needs a more structured listing system will also benefit from the added room.
