For charities, NGOs and one-person comms teams

I build websites for organisations doing the work nobody else will.

You raised the funds, ran the campaign, helped the people who needed it. Your website should work as hard as you do: fast, easy to update, and worth a donor’s trust in the first five seconds.

A short video walkthrough of your actual site, covering speed, accessibility and donor experience. Delivered in three days. No obligation, no pitch.

The problem

Your mission deserves better than a website held together with hope.

Where you are

The freelancer who built your site vanished after launch. The footer still says 2023. Every content change means a four-day email thread with someone who stopped replying. Donors wait six seconds for your homepage, and leave before reading a word about your cause. Trustees ask why the site looks nothing like the work you actually do.

Where I take you

Your team edits a page in two minutes, no developer required. The site loads before a donor’s thumb leaves the screen. Reports publish on time, events fill up, donations go through on the first try. You spend your hours on the mission, not the ticket queue.

What I build

Everything your organisation needs online, nothing you don’t.

Every service below has been shipped for a real NGO, not adapted from corporate work.

NGO websites and platforms

Multilingual, accessible and fast, built so your team publishes without waiting on anyone. Donation flows that work on the first try, whether that’s Stripe, Donorbox or LaunchGood.

Most clients start here

Website care plans

Hosting, updates, security, backups and content changes handled every month for a fixed fee your finance team can budget. A real person who knows your site, not a ticket number.

Campaign and fundraising pages

Pages built for one job: moving a visitor to give, sign or register. Launched in days when the moment matters, measured so you can show trustees what worked.

Event websites

Programmes, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors, built against a date that cannot move. I built the site behind the UK’s largest charity convention.

Redesigns and migrations

Modernise an outdated site or move platforms without losing content, search rankings or your sanity. Nothing goes live before your team signs off.

AI workflows for NGO teams

Practical assistants that draft donor reports, monitor media coverage and answer routine inquiries in your tone. Installed, maintained and measured, with a monthly summary you can put in a funder report.

Who you’ll be working with

Hi, I’m Metin. I don’t just build for community organisations. I run one.

Bllok Studio is owned and run by me, from Skopje. No account managers, no handoffs to a team you’ve never met. The person you email is the person who designs, builds and maintains your site.

I founded and run N’katror, a community organisation for young people. I’ve organised the events, chased the sponsors, written the grant applications, and updated the website at midnight before a launch. When you say your comms team is one person wearing six hats, I know exactly which six hats.

I’ve also shipped products used by hundreds of thousands of people, including an app that reached #1 on the App Store. I bring that discipline to charity websites: fast, measured, built for the people on the other side of the screen.

How I work

Five phases. Zero surprises.

NGOs answer to boards, funders and communities. My process is built so you always know where the project stands and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We learn your goals, audiences and what success looks like to your board and your funders.

  2. 02

    Design

    Visual concepts aligned to your brand. Nothing moves forward without your sign off.

  3. 03

    Develop

    Clean code and a CMS your team can actually use, responsive and accessible from day one.

  4. 04

    Review

    A staging walkthrough, revisions and a final QA pass before anything goes live.

  5. 05

    Launch

    DNS, SSL, analytics and team training. You go live with confidence, not crossed fingers.

Weekly written updates throughout. No phase starts without your approval on the last one, so budgets stay where you agreed them.

Investment

Honest ranges, so you can check the fit before we talk.

Every project is quoted as a fixed scope, in writing, before work begins. No VAT: the number quoted is the number you pay.

Website care plans

Hosting, updates, security, daily backups, content changes and priority support, all for a fixed monthly fee, quoted in writing. Pricing depends on your site’s size and how much you need each month. Tell me about your site and I’ll send a one-page quote within two business days. Cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice.

A note on fit: if your build budget is under £1,500, a custom site probably isn’t the right move yet, and I’d rather say so than waste your time. Squarespace will serve you well for now, and I’m happy to point you in the right direction. Come back when you’ve outgrown it; organisations do.
Common questions

What NGOs ask me before starting.

We run on grant funding. Can you work with that?

Yes, and most of my clients do. I quote fixed scopes in writing so the number in your funding application is the number on the invoice. Payment schedules can follow your grant disbursement dates, and every project comes with documentation you can attach to a funder report.

Who owns the website when it is done?

You do. Domain, hosting, code and content are registered to your organisation from day one. If we ever part ways, you walk away with everything and full documentation for the next team.

Our team is not technical. Can we still update the site ourselves?

That is the point of how I build. Your CMS is set up so editing a page takes minutes, and launch includes a training session recorded for future staff. If your team can use email, they can run the site.

Is accessibility included or extra?

Included, always. I build to WCAG guidelines as standard because your site serves everyone your mission serves. It is not a line item, it is how I work.

What happens after launch?

Most organisations move onto a care plan, which covers hosting, updates, security and small improvements for a fixed monthly fee. You get a real person who already knows your site, not a ticket number.
