Conversion & donations
Donation and signup paths, forms, thank-you states, and drop-off you can actually see.

GA4 usefulness, CRM handoffs, publishing capacity, integrations, and governance debt.
Branded assessment
Institutional Website Risk Review
When boards and procurement need more than a UX critique, we run our structured risk review: twelve operational risk areas, scoring bands, and procurement-ready questions. Searchers call it a nonprofit website audit. We keep the branded name where institutional stakes are high.

After the audit
Recommendations before capital.
You leave with prioritized actions — not a sales script that always ends in a redesign. Some teams need remediation and maintenance. Some need migration discipline. Some are ready to rebuild.

Questions
Before we score the house.
- How is a nonprofit website audit different from a redesign?
- An audit diagnoses. A redesign rebuilds. Many organizations need governance, accessibility, or conversion fixes before spending capital on a full visual rebuild — and some should not rebuild at all yet.
- What is the Institutional Website Risk Review?
- CauseHouse’s branded assessment for nonprofits, associations, and public agencies. It scores operational risks — governance, migration, accessibility, publishing, integrations — before anyone commits redesign budget. The full framework lives on our approach page.
- Who should purchase an audit?
- Leadership or boards deciding whether to rebuild; comms teams inheriting a fragile CMS; procurement officers evaluating vendors; anyone who needs prioritized recommendations instead of a vague “redesign” impulse.
- What happens after the audit?
- You get a prioritized plan. From there you may remediate in place, engage maintenance, migrate carefully, or redesign — with evidence, not habit.
- What are typical deliverables?
- Findings by category, severity and priority, recommended next investments, and optional deep-dive into the Institutional Website Risk Review scoring model when institutional risk is the real question.
