Enhancing Charity Website Design

At Dreamscape, we aim to help charities create meaningful connections with donors through innovative tools and features.

In 2024, we exceeded expectations of 4 planned new features with 43 new features across 11 feature packs. These features are designed to make your charity website more effective, donor-friendly, and impactful.

Here are our top 5 favourite updates, all tailored to empower your charity’s mission.

1. Fundraising and Tributes Module

The Fundraising and Tributes module transforms how charities accept donations and connect with donors. This new feature for Hapi and HapiLite users offers:

• On-site donations: Accept peer donations directly on your charity’s website without redirecting to third-party platforms.
• Personalised fundraising: Empower donors to create fundraising or tribute accounts for birthdays, memorials, and more.
• Automation and CRM integration: Eliminate third-party fees and use automation to manage stewardship journeys while syncing data directly with your CRM.

This module helps charities expand their donor base and build stronger connections with second-tier donors.

2. Express Checkout

Make giving quick and effortless with Express Checkout—perfect for events and community fundraising.

• Add a QR code or direct link to enable donations in just three clicks.
• Collect Google Pay or Apple Pay donor details while obtaining consent for future engagement.
• Replace card machines with a solution that captures valuable donor information in real-time.

This feature ensures a smooth donation experience while helping charities build relationships through meaningful data collection.

3. Enhanced Content Customisation

Your website is the heart of your charity’s online presence, and now, it’s easier than ever to make it uniquely yours.

• Line height and mobile font size adjustments: Enhance readability across devices.
• News and CTA widget customisation: Tailor updates and calls-to-action to align with your message.
• Navigation visual editor: Control colours and branding for desktop and mobile views.

These enhancements ensure your charity’s website looks professional and engaging, no matter the platform.

4. Donorflex API Integration

For charities using Donorflex, this update simplifies donor management. With the new Donorflex API module, you can:

• Automate data flow, eliminating tedious CSV uploads or manual entry.
• Use a moderation queue to ensure transactions are matched to the correct donor.

This update saves time, reduces errors, and improves how charities track and manage donor interactions.

5. Donation Configuration Updates

Personalisation is key to successful fundraising, and our donation configuration tools let you tailor the giving experience to your audience:

• Customisable forms: Ask the right questions for each campaign or appeal.
• Streamlined checkout: Hide navigation during checkout for a distraction-free donation process.
• Regular giving automation: Send immediate setup confirmations and automated monthly updates to donors, explaining the impact of their contributions.

These updates help charities create seamless, personalised experiences that build trust and loyalty with donors.

How These Features Benefit Charity Web Design

• Improved user experience: Streamlined donation processes ensure visitors can give quickly and easily.
• Better engagement: Personalised content, fundraising tools, and targeted automation strengthen donor relationships.
• Enhanced efficiency: Automation reduces manual effort, allowing charities to focus on their mission.

We’re excited to share a glimpse into what’s coming next!

Currently, we’re developing a matching service for our integrations, allowing you to customise and fine-tune matching rules based on your specific needs. Whether you prefer a more flexible or precise approach, this feature will put you in control.

But that’s just the beginning. With an active and engaged community, our roadmap is shaped by your ideas and requests. The best part? These new features come at no extra cost.

We can’t wait to see what innovative suggestions you’ll bring to the table in 2025! Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to grow together.
