Most web design agencies in Atlanta can build a nonprofit site.
Few know how to align it with grassroots goals, public policy, or major fundraising strategy.
I do.
When Georgia philanthropist Virgil Williams hired me to create Save GA Hope, our mission was bold: raise $500 million for the HOPE Scholarship. I built the nonprofit from the ground up—including the website and the full proposal for Georgia’s Governor.
I’ve continued that purpose-driven work with other impactful organizations like:
Serve the People, Inc.
A nonprofit dedicated to advancing equity and well-being through two core areas: social services support and comprehensive healthcare.
They needed a site that reflected their mission with clarity, compassion, and impact. We migrated them from WordPress to Wix—improving control, speed, and cost-effectiveness.
Client Testimonial:
"Steve, I can't say enough good things about you and your team's incredible work in building an amazing website for our organization. Your professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail have truly exceeded our expectations. The end result reflects our mission beautifully, and we're excited about the impact it will have. Thank you for your dedication and outstanding service!”
Fed Worker Strong
We also created Fed Worker Strong, a platform supporting federal workers unfairly forced out during the Trump administration. We offer them a voice—and 20% off web development services—to stand strong and move forward.
Why I Move Non-Profits from WordPress to Wix
Before I became a top-rated Wix Partner, I managed nonprofit WordPress sites myself. They were slow, expensive to update, and full of gatekeeping.
Migrating to Wix gave me—and now my nonprofit clients—freedom.
Wix empowers nonprofits to:
Cut costs
Update content quickly
Own their brand voice
Mobilize support and donations
This Work Matters
Whether you’re pitching a state proposal or launching a neighborhood campaign, I’ll help you build a site that reflects your mission and moves your audience.
