Free checklist
Is your website working for your mission?
A free 15-point checklist for nonprofits, churches and mission-driven organizations. In about 15 minutes, find out whether you truly own your website, whether it’s protected, and whether it’s helping people give, volunteer and get in touch.
What you’ll check
Five areas, three questions each.
Ownership
Who really holds your domain, logins and code, and whether you could leave your provider tomorrow.
Security
The quick signs that your site is protected, up to date and free of forgotten admin accounts.
Backups & support
Whether you could recover from a crash, and who you’d call if it happened tonight.
Message & content
Whether a first-time visitor understands what you do and knows what to do next.
Reach & giving
How your site works on a phone, how easy it is to give, and how you show up on Google.
Hi, I’m Chris Gilbert. I’ve been building websites since 1998 and have managed more than 100 of them. This checklist covers the problems I see most often when an organization asks for help: lost logins, missing backups and donate buttons nobody can find.
