At Farmboy Web & Marketing, we believe your nonprofit’s digital presence should be as powerful as your mission. You’re already putting in the work to make a difference — we’re here to make sure the world sees it, feels it, and joins in.

Whether you need a new website, a stronger brand, or a digital strategy that moves the needle, Farmboy is your all-in partner for Websites, Branding, and Marketing that actually makes an impact.


Why Farmboy? Because Mission-Driven Is Our Mission Too.

We’ve partnered with nonprofits across Iowa and beyond — from youth sports organizations like Courage League Sports, to healthcare and education-based causes — and we get what matters:

  • Clear messaging that builds trust

  • . Design that inspires connection

  • . Tools that turn interest into action

  • And strategies that grow your reach year after year

We’re not just building websites. We’re building platforms that empower your team, rally your community, and drive donations.

Top 10 Must-Haves for Every Nonprofit Website

Here’s what every mission-focused website needs to thrive — and what we build into every nonprofit project we do.


1. Donation Integration That’s Friction-Free

Your site should make it ridiculously easy for people to give. We integrate donation platforms like Stripe, PayPal, GiveWP, or CRM-connected systems that track recurring gifts and donor engagement. One-time gifts, monthly giving, tribute donations? No problem.


2. Mission-Driven Homepage That Converts

Your homepage is your front door — we craft homepages that tell your story in 30 seconds or less. Impact stats, bold visuals, and urgent CTAs guide visitors toward involvement.


3. A Community-Centered About Page

It’s more than your origin story — it’s a chance to showcase your leadership, values, and the real people you serve. We help you write and design an About page that builds trust and invites people in.


4. Stories That Spark Action

Whether it’s a video testimonial from a family you helped or a photo story from a recent event, storytelling is at the heart of nonprofit marketing. We help you spotlight voices from your community in meaningful, memorable ways.


5. Clear Volunteer & Get Involved Pages

Not everyone can donate — but many want to help. We create Get Involved sections with specific calls to action: volunteer signups, event RSVPs, ambassador programs, and more.


6. SEO That Helps People Find You

We use intentional keyword strategies and on-page SEO to ensure people searching for help, resources, or ways to support a cause like yours can find you — and fast.


7. Accessible, Mobile-Friendly Design

Every Farmboy nonprofit website meets WCAG 2.2 standards and works seamlessly across all devices. Your audience shouldn’t need perfect vision or high-speed internet to connect with your cause.


8. Email Marketing Integration

We connect your website with tools like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or HubSpot so your new contacts automatically enter your CRM. From welcome sequences to donor campaigns, we help you build relationships that last.


9. Event Pages That Drive Attendance

Fundraisers. Community days. Virtual workshops. We build flexible event pages that integrate with tools like Eventbrite or RSVP apps, so you can promote and manage events easily.


10. A Blog or News Section to Keep People Informed

Ongoing updates show your mission is active and alive. We help you build a blog, newsletter archive, or newsroom that keeps your audience in the loop and improves SEO.

Happy happy birthday to our buddy, @thehopkinsproj Happy happy birthday to our buddy, @thehopkinsprojects —an amazing team player and all-around good guy. 

He's off celebrating on a beach somewhere (woohoobeachday, IYKYK), and it's so well deserved. He has really great hair, though, so we're sincerely hoping a rogue seagull doesn't take up residence.
