A non-profit needs a website that explains its mission, collects donations and memberships, announces its events, and that non-technical volunteers can update. All on a tight budget and without depending on one person who might leave. We build these sites favouring simplicity, durability and free tools when they are good.

## What we do

### Online donations and memberships

HelloAsso integration (free for French non-profits), Stripe or PayPal for organisations that prefer it, automated tax receipts when you are eligible.

### Events and registrations

Calendar, ticketing or free registration, email reminders, participant export: fewer spreadsheets, fewer emails.

### Publishing by volunteers

A back-office reduced to the essentials, roles (editor, approver), one-page documentation: any volunteer publishes news in five minutes.

### Transparency and institutional content

Activity reports, statutes, governance, partners, press page: what funders and local authorities look for before supporting you.

## A site that lasts

The first enemy of a non-profit website is time: the volunteer who built it leaves, the theme is no longer updated, the hosting expires. We build on standard, well-documented tools, usually [WordPress](https://eldev.fr/en/technologies/wordpress/index.md) with a light custom theme, or [Astro](https://eldev.fr/en/technologies/astro/index.md) for a near-maintenance-free site, and we hand the organisation a complete file.

## Convincing funders and members

Beyond donations, the site helps secure grants and partnerships: a clear page on the mission, key figures, downloadable activity reports, team and governance. We structure that content so it is found and read, and we integrate your social networks without depending on them. Many [small trades businesses](https://eldev.fr/en/sectors/trades-construction/index.md) face the same need for a site that lasts without a webmaster, and we apply the same recipe.

## Industry constraints

- Donations and tax receipts: only for French associations of general interest or recognised public utility; compliant notices and receipt numbering.
- Legal notices: name, registered office, RNA number, publication director, host; privacy policy for members and donors.
- GDPR: member and donor files, retention period, newsletter consent, right of access.
- Accessibility: recommended for all non-profits, mandatory for those fulfilling a public service mission or above legal thresholds.

## Why ELDEV

We know the reality of non-profits: a budget voted at the general meeting, volunteers who change, a site that has to last five years. We choose robust, documented tools, avoid unnecessary subscriptions, train several people rather than one, and hand everything over (access, code, guide) so the organisation stays the owner of its site whatever happens.

## Frequently asked questions

### HelloAsso or Stripe for donations?

HelloAsso is free for the association (optional tip from the donor) and handles receipts and memberships: it is the default choice. Stripe or PayPal if you want a fully integrated experience or custom recurring payments, with per-transaction fees.

### How much does a non-profit website cost?

We adapt the scope to the budget: a brochure site with donations and news remains affordable. Quote after a free scoping call: [get in touch](https://eldev.fr/en/contact/index.md), reply within 12 hours.

### What happens if the volunteer managing the site leaves?

Nothing serious: we train at least two people, hand over a guide, and all access (domain, hosting, site) is in the organisation's name. We can also provide light [maintenance](https://eldev.fr/en/services/maintenance/index.md).

### Can you take over an old association website?

Yes: we recover the content and domain name, set up redirects so rankings are not lost, and rebuild on a sound, documented base, usually with our [WordPress & CMS](https://eldev.fr/en/services/wordpress-cms/index.md) service.
