Questions? We have answers
Is the web page really free?
Yes. Every organisation registered on Donoor has its own web page, with no subscription or hosting fees.
Can I use my own domain name?
Not at the moment: your page is at donoor.org/associations/your-organisation, which you can customise. If you already have a website, you can add Donoor's donation widget to it.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Everything is filled in from your dashboard, section by section, with a live preview.
Will my page appear on Google?
Yes, organisation pages are built to be found on Google and in the Donoor directory. The more complete your page, the better its chances of ranking well.
Got a question? Let's talk.
30 minutes on a video call to discover Donoor, ask your questions and set up your organisation together.
