Website Design & Development Services

Website Design & Development Proposal

World Renew is seeking to partner with a qualified website design and development agency to redesign and redevelop its two existing sites, worldrenew.net and worldrenew.ca, into one comprehensive global website and ecommerce platform. The website must position World Renew as a thought leader in nonprofit development work, long-term community development, and disaster relief, while also serving as an effective tool for donor acquisition and engagement. The new site should provide a professional, modern, and intuitive online presence that compels visitors to engage with content and make donations. It must also allow for in-house content updates on a regular basis.

Agencies with experience working with charitable organizations, not-for-profits, or cause-driven campaigns are strongly encouraged to apply.

World Renew is an international and domestic charity, founded in 1962, with headquarters in the United States and Canada. The organization specializes in community development, disaster response (in North America and internationally), and peace and justice work around the world. Guided by faith and committed to justice, World Renew partners with communities to help eradicate poverty, respond to disasters, and advance peacebuilding efforts.

The anticipated start date for services is December 1, 2025 (or earlier). The initial period of performance will cover the design and development phase of the new site.

The selected agency or vendor will provide the following services:

• Content Audit & Strategy
• Support World Renew in reviewing and reducing existing site content (approx. 250 pages across both sites).
• Collaborate with marketing staff on layout, content migration, and asset development.
• Website Build
• Develop a streamlined global website (~100 core pages).
• Build an integrated ecommerce platform to host World Renew's annual Gift Catalog (~40 items).
• Ensure compliance with Google Merchant Center requirements for advertising.
• Incorporate SEO, AI search readiness, and UX best practices.
• Design & User Experience
• Create a refreshed, modern web presence aligned with current design trends and World Renew branding.
• Optimize landing pages for mobile-first use and donor acquisition.
• Ensure flexible design that contextualizes U.S. vs. Canadian visitor perspectives, especially for donation flows.
• Integration & Functionality
• Maintain compatibility with Salesforce Nonprofit, WooCommerce (or alternative ecommerce solution), and Click & Pledge.
• Optimize data flow between website, Salesforce CRM, and Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
• Ensure donation forms accommodate one-time, monthly, and peer-to-peer giving.
• Outcomes Expected
• Increase session time and engagement through purposeful content.
• Streamline donation experience for first-time and returning donors.
• Enhance visibility and accessibility of World Renew's global programs.
