A website built for how nonprofits show impact.

Programmes, beneficiaries, donors, campaigns, reports — connected once, updated everywhere. Built for foundations and NGOs that take transparency seriously.

Nonprofit website built with ApexCMS

The mission moves
quickly. The site never catches up.

Most foundation websites carry the same weight: a website built once, for a board approval cycle, that quietly fell out of sync with the work itself.

It is not a content problem. It is a structural one.

Reports rewritten from scratch

Every annual report starts from a blank page.

Programme leads send PDFs. Finance sends a spreadsheet. A designer spends six weeks assembling a document the website will never link to. Next year, repeat.

Donors disappear after one gift

The donation happened. The connection didn’t.

Campaigns are siloed pages. There is no thread from a 2023 donation to the programme it funded, or the outcomes it produced — so the second ask feels like the first.

Programmes and people drift apart

A programme ends. Its page lingers.

Field staff move, programmes sunset, partners change — but the public site keeps listing them. Trustees ask why. Communications ships a patch. The drift continues.

Same programmes.
Same numbers.
Two reputations.

Drag the divider to compare the same programme page on a typical WordPress template versus the relational model. The left has stale numbers, broken links to retired staff, and a PDF for a report. The right is composed live from the underlying data.

The same programme page on Apex: current figures, recent updates and the programme team, all from connected records

WHAT'S BROKEN ON THE LEFT

The programme page still shows last year’s numbers. The impact report lives as a PDF no one revisits, and the programme manager listed here left months ago. Programmes, reports, staff, and updates all live in separate places, so nothing stays in sync. When impact data has no structure, every update becomes manual — and trust quietly erodes.

WHAT ENTITY CONNECTIONS GIVE YOU

Every block on the right is computed from connected entities — metrics pulled from programme data, updates linked to the initiative, team members synced from Staff, and reports generated from the same source of truth. Update the Rise Learning Initiative once: enrolment numbers refresh everywhere, new stories appear automatically, and staff changes propagate across every page.

Six entities.
Every page is a query.

We set up a content model for the way nonprofits organise themselves: focus areas, programmes, team members, donors, partners and impact stories, with every relationship connected both ways.

PHASE 04 · WEEK 5

Launch & training

Your new website goes live, and we train your communications team to publish updates, reports, and stories using Apex's connected editorial workflow.

Live & ready for your team

The questions organisations ask before they modernise their website.

From annual reports to donor trust and content management, these are the questions we hear most often. If yours isn't listed, we'd love to talk about it.

Absolutely. We don't redesign for the sake of it. If your current identity reflects your organisation well, we migrate it onto Apex's relational model. The website looks familiar, but the way it's managed changes completely. Programmes, people, donors, stories, and reports become connected instead of living on separate pages.
