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.

There’s a reason more home builders and remodelers There’s a reason more home builders and remodelers are turning to Farmboy when they’re ready to grow.

Because this isn’t just marketing… it’s understanding your craft.

We know what it means to take a project from blueprint to reality. We know the pride in the details, the long timelines, the big decisions homeowners make, and the trust it takes to hand someone the keys to their dream home.

That’s why our approach is different.

We don’t just post pretty pictures of finished kitchens and luxury homes.
We build systems that bring in the right clients.

✔️ SEO that puts you at the top when homeowners are searching
✔️ Google Ads that drive real leads, not just clicks
✔️ Websites designed to convert, not just look good
✔️ Video and content that shows the why, not just the what
✔️ Email and CRM strategies that turn interest into projects

We focus on proof.
Real stories. Real builds. Real results.

Because the right client isn’t just looking for a builder…
They’re looking for someone they can trust with their vision.

That’s where Farmboy comes in.

If you’re a home builder or remodeler ready to stop chasing leads and start building a pipeline of dream projects…

Let’s build something incredible together.

Think your website should be bringing in more lead Think your website should be bringing in more leads… but not sure what’s broken?
You’re not alone.

“Do an SEO audit” sits on almost every marketing to-do list—but most people never get to it because it sounds way too technical.

Good news: you don’t need to be an SEO expert to figure out what’s working (and what’s not).

Here’s a simple way to start:
✔️ Google your business (do you even show up?)
✔️ Check if your site is actually indexed
✔️ Test your site speed (especially on mobile)
✔️ Review your page titles + content
✔️ Look at how your pages connect together
✔️ Ask: are we answering real customer questions?
✔️ Make sure you’re actually tracking leads

That’s it. No fancy tools. No deep dive into algorithms.
Just clarity.

Here’s what we see all the time:
• Great businesses with weak, generic service pages
• Blogs getting traffic… but not converting
• Slow websites killing both rankings and leads
• Local SEO signals missing or inconsistent
• Analytics installed—but not telling a real story

At the end of the day, SEO isn’t about rankings.
It’s about helping the right people find you—and giving them a clear next step when they do.

If your audit leaves you with more questions than answers, that’s normal. That’s where strategy (and the right partner) comes in.

If your website isn’t pulling its weight, it might be time to take a real look at it.
A Website Built for an Industry That Keeps America A Website Built for an Industry That Keeps America Running 

A while back, we had the opportunity to create the new website for the Iowa-Nebraska Equipment Dealers Association (INEDA) — and it remains one of those projects we’re incredibly proud of.

INEDA has been supporting agriculture, construction, and outdoor power equipment dealers across Iowa and Nebraska for nearly 132 years. Their work in legislative advocacy, workforce development, education, training, and regulatory compliance helps dealers stay strong in an ever-changing industry.

They’re also the organization behind the Nebraska Ag Expo and Iowa Ag Expo, the second and third largest indoor ag shows in the United States, bringing together 600+ exhibitors and tens of thousands of farmers each year.

When we worked with INEDA, the goal was to create a website that reflected the scale and importance of their mission — while making it easier for members, partners, and industry professionals to access the resources they rely on every day.

At Farmboy, we love partnering with organizations that support entire industries. The agriculture world is built on innovation, grit, and community — and helping tell that story online is work we’re always proud to do.

Another great partnership. Another great brand doing important work.

🏆 Big News from Farmboy 🏆 Some projects feel spec 🏆 Big News from Farmboy 🏆

Some projects feel special from the very beginning. The kind where the strategy, creativity, and teamwork all click in a way you can feel while you’re building it.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Farmboy took home a Silver ADDY Award for Integrated Brand Campaign for our work on Suvon — and even more exciting… @aafdsm 

The project also received a Judge’s Choice Award.

Judge’s Choice is the one that makes you stop for a second. It means the work truly stood out.

This campaign with Novus Ag was about launching Suvon as a bold, modern adjuvant brand built to stand apart in the competitive Midwest agriculture market. From naming and positioning to packaging, product icons, brand guides, and sales materials, every detail was designed to create clarity, confidence, and a strong presence on the shelf.

The goal was simple: build a brand system that looked powerful, worked in the real world, and could scale as the product line grows.

At Farmboy, we don’t chase awards.
We chase impact.

But when work like this gets recognized, it’s a proud moment for our team and for the partners who trust us to help bring their vision to life.

Huge thanks to Novus Ag for the collaboration and trust.

Silver is an honor.
Judge’s Choice is affirmation.
Seeing Suvon come to life exactly the way it deserved to is the real win.

On to the next one.

At Farmboy, we love working with some of the fines At Farmboy, we love working with some of the finest home builders and remodelers in the country. 🏡

There’s something special about partnering with people who take pride in their craft — the kind of builders who obsess over details, care deeply about their clients, and turn someone’s dream into a place they get to call home.

Our job is to help tell those stories.

From websites and SEO to paid ads, social media, video content, email marketing, and building sales processes that actually help convert leads, we work alongside builders to make sure their work is seen, understood, and appreciated.

Because the truth is — great builders deserve great marketing.

We love this space because we know it. We understand the process, the pride, and the passion that goes into every project. And there’s nothing better than helping showcase the craftsmanship, the decisions, and the stories behind homes that families will live in for generations.

To all the builders and remodelers out there doing incredible work — we love helping share what you create.

Some projects are more than marketing — they’re ab Some projects are more than marketing — they’re about building a brand people can truly connect with.

That’s exactly what we set out to do with Your Car Care.

Our team at Farmboy worked alongside them to create something that felt authentic, memorable, and built to last. From the ground up, we helped shape the story of the brand by:

• Designing and building a brand-new website
• Filming a commercial that captures the spirit of the business
• Writing and producing a brand theme song
• Creating messaging that reflects the trust and reliability drivers depend on

We love doing work like this — where strategy, storytelling, design, and creativity all come together to help a business stand out.

When we partner with a brand, we don’t just think about ads or websites. We think about the full experience people have when they encounter that brand.

Because the best marketing doesn’t just get attention — it builds something people remember.
