WEBSITE
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

We design and develop websites for Native Nations, Native-led nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations of all kinds — building digital homes that reflect who you are and connect you with the people you serve.

WordPress Websites

Your website is your digital home—with rooms that tell your story and history. It’s where visitors decide whether to stay, engage, and become advocates or partners in your work. We bring the same brand focus to every website project that we bring to everything else—designing sites with authenticity and cultural sensitivity, built around your visitors’ needs as much as your own.

Over the years we’ve built websites for Indigenous nonprofits and collaboratives, Native nations, national Native resource organizations, programs that require trauma-informed design, and state or federally partnered programs—work that calls for cultural fluency as much as technical skill. Every site goes from conception to finished product using current web standards. Let us help your web presence reflect your mission.

SEATTLE URBAN NATIVE NONPROFITS

SUNN, a newly created collective of Native nonprofits, approached Orca Design Group for their website design needs. The resulting website and brand has increased the visibility of not only SUNN but also that of each affiliated nonprofit. Separate profile landing pages frequently lead visitors from search results to information and donation links for each organization. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Website Design & Development

Q: What website services do you provide?
A: We provide website design, website development, and ongoing website maintenance and upgrades and hosting. Every site we build is an extension of your brand platform — designed to engage your audiences, communicate your mission, and hold up over time. We work in WordPress, which gives our clients a manageable, flexible foundation they can grow with.

Q: Do you build websites for Native American and Indigenous organizations?
A: Yes—and it’s the work that brings our team a lot of joy. Over the years, we’ve built websites for Tribal organizations, Native-led nonprofits, Indigenous enterprises, state and federally partnered programs serving Native communities across the country, and change for good organizations. We understand how these organizations communicate — the multiple audiences they serve, the stakeholders they’re accountable to, and the stories they need to tell.

Q: Do you design websites for organizations with complex stakeholder audiences?
A: Yes. Many of our clients serve multiple audiences simultaneously — Tribal members, federal funders, university partners, and the general public. We design websites that communicate clearly across all of them: organized, accessible, and built around your actual users’ needs. Strong information architecture is as important to us as strong visual design.

Q: Do you build e-commerce websites?
A: Yes. We design and develop ecommerce sites for organizations selling products, memberships, classes, event registrations, or donations online. We build on proven, manageable platforms that give your team control without requiring a developer for every update.

Q: What does your website design process look like?
A: We start with your brand. If you’re coming to us for a website without an existing brand platform, we’ll recommend developing that foundation first — because your website is your brand and story hub, and it needs that anchor to work. From there we move through discovery, site architecture, design, development, content integration, and testing. We build collaboratively, keeping your team involved at every stage.

Q: Do you provide website maintenance after launch?
A: Yes. We offer contracted website maintenance and ongoing digital management services. Several of our clients have worked with us on a contract basis for years — we keep their sites updated, secure, and performing. For organizations that don’t have dedicated internal web staff, this kind of ongoing partnership makes a real difference.

Q: Can you redesign an existing website while keeping our current content?
A: Yes. Website redesigns are common for us — often paired with a rebrand or a significant organizational change. We’ll audit your existing site and content, determine what to carry forward, what to rewrite, and what to retire, and build a new architecture that serves where your organization is headed.

Q: Do you build accessible websites?
A: Yes. Accessibility is not an afterthought for us — it’s part of how we build. We design to WCAG standards, ensuring your site is usable for people with disabilities and accessible across devices. For organizations serving Native communities and receiving federal funding, accessibility compliance is often a requirement, and we build with that in mind.

Q: Do you work with organizations outside of your immediate area?
A: Yes. We serve organizations across the United States. Our work is not limited by geography — we’ve built websites for Tribal organizations, nonprofits, and federally-partnered programs in multiple states and regions. Remote collaboration is a normal part of how we work.

Q: How do I get started?
A: Reach out through our contact page and tell us a little about your organization and what you need. We’ll follow up to schedule a discovery call and learn more about your goals. Your website is your brand and story hub — let’s make sure it’s doing its job.
