Donation Usability: Increasing Online Giving

Charities wishing to increase online donations will find website usability guru Jakob Nielsen’s article on Donation Usability very useful and informative.

The key points are:

  • Need a clear statement of what the charity is about and how donations are used
  • Poor usability kills donations
  • Good links to the user’s local group for the charity (with consistent look) are important
  • Online donation accounts for 10% and is rising
  • A full report with detailed guidelines is also available for download for $99. Other reports of theirs I’ve read have been good value.
