Website Checklist

The web template is customisable to suit the context of your office. It is recommended you keep the general Homepage (sections may vary), Impact (sectors may vary), About Us and Contact Us pages. It is also strongly recommended that you choose from the available colours, and do not change the fonts and ADRA logo, as these are keeping in-line with ADRA’s branding guidelines.

To get things started, here are some questions you will need to consider:

1. How often will you be able to keep the website updated? This will determine how in depth your website is so that it is not obvious i.e. dates on your posts, keeping your project pages or information current etc.
2. What main pages and subpages do you want to include?
3. What are your core impact sectors? ADRA International’s programs are divided into 11 sectors i.e., Education, Health, Livelihoods, Emergency
4. What information do you want to keep from your current website?
5. Do you want the website to be multilingual?
6. Does your office conduct Fundraising? What Payment Gateways are you currently using or need to setup i.e Stripe, PayPal etc.?
7. Where is your domain being hosted? Can you access the DNS (Domain Name System) records? Do you want ADRA Source to host your domain, email and website?
8. Do you have access to a range of high-quality images to populate your website? Images increase the aesthetic of your website. If you don’t have many – contact any donors or partners who may have collected some during their visits to your country office’s projects.

These questions will help determine the direction of your website further:

1. Do you want to include a subpage for each project?
2. What links do you want to include in the ‘House Menu’ at the top of the website?
3. What sections do you want to display on the homepage?
4. Does your office fundraise and wish to include donation links? Gift catalogue?
5. Do you want to add publications, documents or reports?
6. Do you want a main blog archive?
7. Do you have a newsletter? Do you have Mail Chimp or other setup for subscriptions that need to be added?
8. Do you want to advertise jobs? internships? volunteers? tenders? ADRA Connections?
9. Do you wish to include a history of your office?
10. Do you want to include where you work? With a map?
11. Do you want to advertise your partners and donors? Including logos?
12. What are your social media platforms?
13. Do you want to add videos?
14. Do you want to include a staff section? Which staff do you want to include?
15. Do you want to include a policies page or privacy policy? Cookies?
