These fundamental differences mean that Charity websites need to have a different focus – they serve a different purpose to different audiences.

Because we understand the nuances of that really well, we’ve created this website to focus on providing Websites for Charities, Non Profits and Communites.

Please don’t misunderstand this separation – there’s nothing wrong with making profit!
As a business ourselves we understand the value that businesses bring to communities.  We have a urbanhaze.com which is aimed at helping businesses with their websites.
