How to Make Your NGO Website Mobile-Friendly and Accessible

In today’s fast-evolving digital world, nonprofits and NGOs must leverage technology to maximize their impact. The right tools can streamline operations, boost fundraising, and enhance outreach—without breaking the budget.

At Muniwar Technologies, we specialize in affordable, scalable tech solutions designed for mission-driven organizations. Here are 5 must-have tech tools every NGO should consider in 2025:

Why Mobile-Friendliness and Accessibility Matter

60%+ of users access websites via mobile devices
Search engines prioritize mobile-friendly websites in rankings
Accessibility is essential to ensure inclusivity for people with disabilities
A seamless user experience builds trust and increases donations or volunteer sign-ups

Now let’s explore how you can make it happen.

1. Use a Responsive Web Design

Responsive design ensures that your website adapts to all screen sizes—smartphones, tablets, or desktops.

✅ Choose a flexible grid layout and scalable images
✅ Use mobile-first design principles
✅ Test your site across multiple devices and browsers

2. Optimize Page Speed for Mobile Users

Mobile users expect fast-loading websites. A delay of just a few seconds can lead to higher bounce rates.

✅ Compress images and use modern formats like WebP
✅ Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files
✅ Use a reliable hosting provider for faster server response times

3. Improve Navigation and Touch Usability

Mobile users rely on touch, so every interaction should be smooth and intuitive.

✅ Use large, tappable buttons and clear calls-to-action (CTAs)
✅ Implement a sticky menu or hamburger menu for easy navigation
✅ Avoid hover-only interactions that don’t work on mobile

4. Follow Web Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Accessibility ensures your website can be used by everyone, including people with disabilities.

✅ Use proper contrast ratios for text readability
✅ Add alt text to images for screen readers
✅ Ensure keyboard navigation for all features
✅ Include captions or transcripts for videos

5. Simplify Forms for Mobile and Accessible Use

Whether it’s a donation form or volunteer sign-up, forms should be simple, short, and easy to complete.

✅ Use mobile-friendly input fields (like number pads for phone numbers)
✅ Label all fields clearly and avoid using placeholder-only text
✅ Provide real-time validation and error messages

6. Conduct Accessibility & Mobile Audits Regularly

Ongoing improvement is key. Use tools like:

Google Mobile-Friendly Test
Lighthouse (Chrome DevTools)
WAVE Accessibility Tool

These tools help identify and fix common issues proactively.
