Nonprofit and student organization websites have different jobs from business sites. They need to publish events, collect RSVPs, sell tickets, accept donations, manage members and reach people by text, often with volunteer staff who change every year. 1REALTOUR builds these sites and the tools behind them, from a WordPress site with donation pages to a custom events and membership platform.
Built around events and people
For many organizations the calendar is the website. We build event pages that show what is happening, who it is for and how to sign up, with RSVP forms that collect only what organizers need. Paid events take card payments at registration, and organizers get a live attendee list with check-in on a phone or tablet at the door.
- Event listings with RSVP, ticketing and capacity limits
- Mobile check-in with attendee lists for organizers
- Reminder and update messages by email and text
- RSVP by text for audiences who rarely check email
- Member directories and membership sign-up or renewal
- Role-based access so student leaders and staff see the right things
Donations and payments
Donation pages should be short, fast on a phone and clear about where the money goes. We build one-time and recurring donation forms with suggested amounts and campaign tracking, using Stripe or the payment processor you already use. Donors get an automatic receipt, and your team gets an export that matches what your finance staff needs. Campaign pages for a specific drive or giving day can show a goal and a clear deadline without extra plugins.
We also connect donations and registrations to your email platform and CRM so supporters receive the right follow-up instead of a generic newsletter.
Texting that follows the rules
Text messages reach students and members far more reliably than email, but business texting in the US has rules. Sending from a local ten-digit number requires A2P 10DLC registration with the carriers, and every program needs recorded opt-in and working HELP and STOP replies. 1REALTOUR handles registration and builds consent capture into your sign-up forms. Messages can be segmented by chapter, class year, interest or event, so people only hear about what is relevant to them, and replies can come into a shared inbox that organizers answer together.
Handoff for changing teams
Student boards and volunteer committees turn over regularly. We design admin screens that a new organizer can learn in an afternoon, write short guides for common tasks, and keep ownership of domains, payment accounts and logins with the organization rather than with whoever built the site.
WordPress or custom
Many organizations are well served by WordPress with a donation plugin and an events calendar. When you need check-in, memberships, chapters or texting working together, a custom platform built in Laravel or Next.js can be simpler to run. We recommend based on how you actually operate.
