A successful charity website does more than aid fundraising. For charities, a great website is essential to their online presence and brand identity as well as supporting fundraising efforts. In short, a website can make or break a charity.

To celebrate its 10 years in the industry, software development company Mercurytide is partnering with The Drum to provide a charity with a website worth £10,000. If you know a charity in dire straits digitally, nominating is quick and easy; just visit www.10kcharitywebsite.co.uk.

This blog will provide tips on how charities use the web to their best advantage, including tips on using social media to increase brand awareness and engagement.

The competition will be open until April. Once the nominations have closed, an impartial judging panel, with the help of The Drum, will select a worthy winner, to be announced in May.
