The practice of charity means the voluntary giving of help to those in need who are not related to the giver. Charities are often in the spotlight whether it be in the news or advertisements. This funding is carefully distributed and there are often more important things ahead of a generous budget for the website.
Today we have collected some really interesting and the best charity website designs. This list isn’t for advertising reasons, but if you ever have a few spare minutes while on the ‘net, check a few of them out.

Here we have a great example of using soft and delicate colors. The donate button in this website design is red and is placed right at the top navigation menu.
Great Ormond St. Hospital
One of the largest and well known charities in the UK, the Great Ormond St. website lends itself towards being very visual with the bright blue contrasting against the usual Great Ormond St. purple.

Here’s Life Mission Africa has designed a trendy and visually sophisticated website that definitely calls for action from its users. The “Donate Now” button is in red and in a prominent position at the top of the web page.

No matter if you get the answer right or not, you are still able to donate a cup of water. If you do get an answer correct, you donate 10 cups of water. The website donates clean water to locations where fresh water is scarce or not available at all.
