Websites Unlocked Toolkit

Having an up-to-date and accessible website puts you in the best position to raise awareness of your cause, recruit volunteers, and increase your fundraising. But managing a website can be hard, particularly when you don’t have a big budget or an in-house digital expert to turn to.  Fortunately, you don’t need to throw your current website away and replace it with a shiny new one. You just need to spend some time with it, provide a little TLC with our support, and it’ll start to work wonders for you. 

That’s why Media Trust, in collaboration with digital experts, Few and Far, have created a toolkit specifically aimed at small charities with little to no budget. 

Improving your charity’s website with our free toolkit

The Websites Unlocked Toolkit aims to help your organisation optimise your website with the latest low-cost tools and strategies, improving its accessibility and impact, and motivating your stakeholders to take action.  

Through this toolkit, you will:

• Learn how to use tools such as Google Analytics to assess the current performance of your website.
• Discover ways to make your website more accessible.
• Gain insights into your user’s behaviours and create effective personas.
• Discover how to track your website’s performance and create measurable and achievable goals.
• Pull it all together with a clear action plan that will keep you and your team on track.
