Website Design
Hire a website designer who understands missions and research. We design and build websites for nonprofits, research labs, and grant-funded projects: clear about who you serve, accessible, easy to find in search, and simple for your team to keep up to date. Every project is quoted as one flat fee after a scoping conversation.
Inquiries go directly to angel@subthesis.com. A dedicated checkout flow is coming soon.

- Discovery: your audiences, your goals, and the pages that serve them
- A content plan, including help turning your mission, programs, or research into plain language
- Custom design and build, responsive on phones, tablets, and desktops
- Accessibility basics: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, and clear headings
- Search foundations: page titles, descriptions, a sitemap, structured data, and Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools setup
- Readiness for AI answer engines, including llms.txt files that summarize your site
- Donate, volunteer, and contact paths for nonprofits; team, publications, and project pages for researchers
- Launch, handoff, and training so your team can update the site without us

Design, Build, Launch
We design, build, and review the site with you, launch it, and hand it off with training so your team owns it.
Who It's For
- Nonprofits and community organizations that need a site that explains the mission and brings in donors and volunteers
- Grant-funded programs and projects that need a public site for outreach or dissemination
- Research labs, centers, and faculty who want a home for their team, projects, and publications
- Doctoral researchers and early-career scholars building a professional presence
- Small for-profit businesses that want the same clear, search-ready approach
Pricing
Website design at Subthesis is always a flat fee. A five-page site for a small nonprofit is not the same job as a lab site with a publications database, so each project is quoted on its own scope, and the price is agreed in writing before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hire someone to design my website?
Yes. You can hire a freelancer, an agency, or a marketplace seller. What matters is that the designer understands your audience. We work mainly with nonprofits and researchers, so we start from your mission or your research and build the pages around the people you need to reach.
Is it worth hiring a web designer?
It is worth it when your site has to earn trust: asking for donations, recruiting volunteers or study participants, or meeting a funder requirement. If you only need a simple page, a template builder may be enough. We will tell you honestly in the scoping conversation.
Who should I hire to build my website?
Hire someone who asks about your audiences before your colors, quotes a flat fee in writing, builds for accessibility and search, and hands you a site you can update yourself. Ask to see a case study of a similar project.
What does a nonprofit website cost?
Every Subthesis website project is a flat fee, quoted in writing after a scoping conversation. The quote depends on the number of pages, features such as donation or event pages, how much content we write, and your deadline.
Do you design websites for research labs and projects?
Yes. We build sites for labs, centers, faculty, and grant-funded projects, with pages for your team, projects, publications, and news, and plain-language summaries for the public.
Do you work with for-profit businesses?
Yes. Nonprofits and researchers come first, but we also design websites for small businesses using the same flat-fee process.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes. Every project ends with a handoff and training so your team can edit pages and publish updates without us.
