Customize Your Website in 5 Minutes (Starter Guide) ⚡

Who this is for 👋

Hospital teams who are new to the donation website builder and want a fast, safe way to get a clean, on-brand page live.

The goal 🎯

In ~5 minutes, you’ll make a few high-impact updates so your page looks like your hospital (not a template) and feels trustworthy to donors.

Before you start (30 seconds) ⏱️

·      🖼️ Have your logo file ready (PNG preferred)

·      🎨 Know your brand colors

·      WATCH THIS SHORT INTRO VIDEO: Donation Website Builder Intro

5 easy steps to get your website started ✅

Quick how-to video: Update your Logo

Why it matters: Your logo is the quickest trust signal for clients to know they are donating to the right place!

Do this:

·      ⬆️ Upload your hospital logo

·      📏 Make sure it’s crisp and not stretched

Quick check:

·      🔍 If it looks blurry, try a higher-resolution PNG

2) Establish your brand 🎨

Quick how-to video: Easily establish your Brand

Why it matters: Consistency makes the page feel legitimate and familiar.

Do this:

  • 🏷️ Confirm your hospital name is correct or change it to the new name of your Angel Fund

  • 🏥 Keep it consistent with your Hospital Website

  • 🌈 Use the same colors (if don't know your brand colors off hand, use this website to easily identify them).

3) Update your background image 🖼️

Quick how-to video: Change your Background

Why it matters: The background sets the emotional tone in one second.

Good options:

·      🏢 A welcoming photo of your hospital exterior/interior

·      👩⚕️👨⚕️ A team photo

·      🐾 A calm pet-owner moment (nothing too busy)

Avoid:

·      🚫 Busy images with lots of text

·      🌑 Dark photos that make buttons hard to see

Quick check:

·      👀 If you can’t read your headline easily, pick a simpler image

4) Adjust your colors 🌈

Quick how-to video: Change your Colors

Why it matters: Colors guide attention—especially to the Donate button.

Do this:

·      🎨 Set your primary color (use your brand color if you have one)

·      🔘 Make your Donate button a strong, high-contrast color

Quick check:

·      🚦 If the button blends into the background, donors will miss it

5) Edit your messaging 💬

Quick how-to video: Edit your Text

Why it matters: Clear messaging removes hesitation and increases donations.

Use this simple structure:

·      🧡 Headline: What this is (Angel Fund / helping pets in need)

·      ✨ 1–2 sentences: Who it helps + what donations do

·      🧾 Reassurance line: Donations are tax-deductible (if applicable) and go to pets at your hospital

Example (plug-and-play):

·      Headline: Help Pets in Need at [Hospital Name]

·      Body: Your donation supports our hospital’s Angel Fund, helping families say “yes” to urgent and lifesaving care when finances are tight.

·      Reassurance: Donations are used to support pets treated at our hospital.

Quick check:

·      ✂️ If it feels long, shorten it. Clarity beats detail.
