Getting support for your organisation or charity online needs a real mix of techniques - and Prater Raines are here to help you get the most out of all of them, and make them easy to apply.

Sites need to be built to scale and be fast and responsive. Our work with the Gurkha justice Campaign included a petition that was at times taking hundreds of petition signatories a minute - when you have Joanna Lumley on TV promoting your campaign, you need your site to be able to cope with the visitors that creates!

Sites need to be clear in what they are and what they do to perform well for both real users and search engines. Many companies will try to sell you search engine optimisation services to boost your search engine rankings, but it comes down to a few simple tips: well written code and regularly updated and engaging content. Prater Raines work by designing in those principles from the start of your site, dealing with the technical aspects for you and making it easy for you to update your site with the content that is so important.

Sites need to allow you to connect with people. Whether on your own site, through email or through social networking including Twitter, Facebook or YouTube, its all about the conversations you have with others and that they have about you. We can help by integrating your site with these networks - not just posting directly to them, but helping you manage replies and conversations with supporters and donors in one place. Emails work well not by bombarding your supporter list with unsolicited spam, but by sending well targetted, well formatted communications at the right time, with ways that people can get involved and help. We can help you use your site to get new supporters and keep in touch and engage with them - online.

Sites that boost your fundraising. Getting the right fundraising message and donor tools in place is critical - and there are a lot of options. Online shops. Taking donations. using services like PayPal to take payments or developing your own bespoke card processing system. Getting these right are critical and depend on your needs and organisations capabilities: one size will not fit all. Prater Raines will work with you to understand your needs, then develop the solution that will work best for you.

Meaningful site management tools and statistics that help you develop and improve on your site. Being found and being linked to online. Rock solid hosting.
