What a community arts nonprofit website needs to do
Audiences decide by what is on and when. A calendar with clear dates, venues and ticket links does the heavy lifting. Classes, outreach and donor appeals sit on their own pages, so nobody has to dig.
Ticketing runs through the platform you already use, linked from each event. We do not build a ticketing system. Photos and short video clips come from you and are linked from your video host.
People searching for a community arts nonprofit usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
See what is on
Calendar with dates
Buy tickets
Links to your ticketing
Take a class
Programs and sign-up
Give or sponsor
Donations and sponsor information
Timing matters. Season launches and year-end appeals concentrate ticket sales and gifts.
The pages a community arts nonprofit website needs
A community arts nonprofit site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with the season — what is on
- ✓Events — calendar and details
- ✓Classes — programs and sign-up
- ✓Support — donors and sponsors
- ✓About — mission and team
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on community arts nonprofit websites
