NGO website builder

A website for your NGO — no developer, no hosting bill

Most Indian NGOs are stuck between a ₹40,000 brochure site nobody on staff can edit and a fundraising platform that keeps the donor list. Sevastack's NGO website builder is the third option: your own site, on your own domain, with the donate button wired to the system that issues the 80G receipt and files Form 10BD.

Three steps to a website your NGO owns

  1. 1

    Switch the site on

    Your projects, impact numbers, registration certificates, annual reports and testimonials are already in Sevastack. They populate their sections the moment the site is enabled.

  2. 2

    Write your About and pick a share image

    The two fields that do the most work — the passage Google and AI assistants quote, and the picture that shows when your link is forwarded on WhatsApp. The SEO panel tells you when each is long enough.

  3. 3

    Point your domain and publish

    Paste yourngo.org, create the one DNS record Sevastack shows you, and wait for your registrar — usually under an hour. Verification switches the site, its sitemap.xml and its llms.txt onto your domain.

A website for every non-profit entity

The statutory disclosure section carries whichever registrations you hold — trust deed, society registration, Section 8 incorporation, 12A, 80G, FCRA, CSR-1 — with their validity dates.

NGO website builder — FAQs

Can I get a free website for my NGO?

Yes — the website builder is included at no extra cost with the Sevastack Growth plan, so there is no separate website fee, no hosting bill, no theme licence and no developer invoice. It is not part of the free tier: creating a Sevastack account and managing donors, donations and 80G receipts is free, and the website builder unlocks on Growth. For an NGO that would otherwise pay an agency for a brochure site plus a fundraising platform's commission on every donation, the website usually costs less than what it replaces.

What is an NGO website builder?

An NGO website builder lets a non-profit publish and edit its own website without a web developer. Sevastack's version is built specifically for Indian NGOs: alongside the usual about, projects and gallery sections it carries an 80G tax-savings calculator, a statutory disclosure section for your 12A, 80G, FCRA and CSR registration numbers, an annual reports section, and a donate section wired to the same system that issues receipts and files Form 10BD.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. Connect either an apex domain (yourngo.org) or a subdomain (give.yourngo.org). Sevastack normalises whatever you paste, works out the exact DNS record you need to create — including the correct Name value for multi-label domains like yourngo.co.in — and verifies it. Pointing an apex domain at Sevastack replaces whatever site currently runs there, so you are asked to confirm before that happens.

Will my NGO website rank on Google?

It is built to. Once your custom domain is verified the site serves its own sitemap.xml listing the home page, custom pages, public campaigns and policy pages, alongside per-page titles, descriptions and share images you control. A built-in SEO health panel scores nine specific checks — indexability, title length, description length, share image, about text, own domain, social profiles, contact address and published testimonials — and tells you exactly what to fix. Ranking still depends on your content and how well known your NGO is; the technical groundwork is done for you.

Does the website work for AI search like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. Your site serves an llms.txt — a plain-text description of your organisation written for AI crawlers — so an assistant asked about your NGO reads your registration details, causes, projects and contact information from you rather than inferring them. The site also uses structured data, and the SEO panel flags the two fields AI assistants quote most often: your About text and your published testimonials.

Can donors give directly on my NGO's website?

Yes. The donate section accepts UPI, bank transfer and online payments through your own gateway. Funds settle directly to your NGO's bank account at 0% platform fee, the 80G receipt is generated and emailed automatically, the donor is added to your CRM, and the donation flows into Form 10BD and your accounts without anyone re-entering it.

Can I hide the site from search engines while I build it?

Yes. A 'hide from search engines' toggle keeps the site out of Google and out of the sitemap while you fill it in, and the SEO panel marks it as the one critical failure so you cannot forget to switch it off before launch. You can also unpublish the site entirely.

What happens to my website if I change plans?

The website builder is a Growth-plan capability. If your plan later drops below Growth, the public site stops serving and its sitemap and llms.txt stop advertising it — your content, pages, enquiries and subscribers stay in your account and the site returns when you are back on Growth. If you use a custom domain, remember the DNS record points at Sevastack until you change it.

How long does it take to put an NGO website live?

Most of the content is already in Sevastack — your projects, impact numbers, registration certificates, annual reports and testimonials all populate their sections automatically. A typical NGO turns the site on, writes an About section, picks a share image and publishes the same day. Connecting a custom domain adds however long your registrar takes to propagate the DNS record, usually under an hour.
