The Wright Grant — we build registered charities a real website at no cost. Application required. Start an application
A proper website. No invoice. (Registered charities only.)
Look — we get it. Your cause runs on thin air and volunteer hours, and your site still looks like 2009. The Wright Grant is how we put a professional web build in reach: design, build and launch — free — for charities that qualify. There’s an application. We can’t say yes to everyone. If you’re a registered charity with a genuine need, start here. More impact. Less duct tape. Zero sticker shock.
Trusted by teams who can’t afford weak websites, as seen in
Under the hood
Delivery, not drama
Mobile-first design that reflects real use
Your buyers aren’t reading PDFs on 27-inch monitors. We design from the smallest screens up, test on real devices and make sure core journeys stay fast and usable wherever your audience is.
Performance & Google's Core Web Vitals
Slow sites lose visitors and hurt search rankings — so we treat speed as a target, not a hope. We set targets for LCP and interaction latency, then build and tune against them. The first score below is our own site; that's the same commitment we make to yours. No hand-waving: dashboards, alerts, and sites that stay quick under real traffic. Test your website now: WebCheck™

SEOHandover your volunteers can actually use
Trustees rotate. Volunteers have day jobs. The person who “knew the website” just went on maternity leave. We get it. We leave plain-language runbooks, simple how-to guides and a clear map of what’s live — so the next person isn’t spending a week reverse-engineering a password. When we hand over, your charity knows what lives where, how to publish an appeal or impact story, and where to look when something looks wrong. No vendor ticket queue for a typo. No mystery folder called “final_FINAL_v3.”
What The Wright Grant actually gives you
This isn’t a logo slapped on a tired template.
You’re fighting for attention with one hand and a budget that wouldn’t cover a team lunch. We get it. The Wright Grant is a full build — hosted, accessible, handed over properly — so your mission doesn’t die on a 404. Here’s what that means in plain English. No invoice hiding in the footer. No upsell to a “premium” tier you never asked for.
- Hosting that stays switched on
- Managed hosting, SSL and monitoring so your site is there when the press remembers your name, when a donor shares the link at midnight, when campaign week hits. When something breaks, you know exactly who to call — not a forum thread and a prayer.
- Scope we’ll say out loud — before we write code
- The grant covers what it covers. We put boundaries in writing so nobody’s guessing whether “just a small shop” was supposed to include three integrations and a CRM. You’ll know what’s in, what’s out, and what “done” looks like. Hold us to it.
- Built for phones, donors and people who use assistive tech
- Your supporters aren’t on 27-inch monitors. Service users shouldn’t need perfect eyesight to ask for help. We build fast, readable pages that don’t embarrass you in an accessibility conversation — because credibility is part of the mission.
- Security hygiene without a full-time IT team
- Sensible defaults, updates and dependency hygiene so you’re not running on a five-year-old plugin because nobody knew it existed. You shouldn’t need a CISO to run a charity website — but you also shouldn’t lose sleep over ransomware because someone forgot to click “update.”
- A CMS your volunteers can actually use
- We hand over editing tools with training that respects people’s time — update appeals, impact stories and team pages without begging “the one person who knows the password.” Less gatekeeping. More momentum.
- Backups and a path when things go wrong
- Tested backups and a clear escalation path when something breaks — not a group chat at midnight asking if anyone still has FTP from 2014. You’ve got enough fires. Your website shouldn’t be one of them.

Charity climb
Everest Base Camp — for Teenage Cancer Trust
Louis Wright, our Managing Partner, is trekking to Everest Base Camp to raise vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust — the UK charity that puts specialist nurses and dedicated units where young people with cancer need them most.
Every step at altitude is a chance to put real support behind young people facing cancer. If this climb encourages even one donation, it's worth the thin air.
Louis Wright
Managing Partner, Wright Websites
The trek to Base Camp is demanding — high passes, cold nights and long days on the trail. We're sharing the journey here because Teenage Cancer Trust does harder work every day in hospitals and units across the UK.
We're proud to back an organisation that turns visibility into beds, staff and time with families — not just awareness.
How you can help
If you'd like to support Teenage Cancer Trust, you can donate through their secure page. Every contribution — large or small — helps fund the people and places that change outcomes for young patients.
