Why Integration Matters More Than You Think
If you're leading a not-for-profit in Perth, chances are your website isn’t just a marketing tool,it’s a frontline asset. It supports donations, event registrations, volunteer sign-ups, and more. But if your digital tools aren’t integrated, it might be causing more problems than it solves.
The Real Cost of Disconnected Systems
We recently worked with a WA-based NFP who asked us to “fix the website.” But once we looked under the hood, we uncovered a bigger issue: five different systems bolted together with digital duct tape.
Sound familiar?
Donations through a third-party site
Volunteer forms in Google Drive
Email lists managed manually in a spreadsheet
Events hosted via a separate tool with no visibility on the main site
A CRM that hadn’t been synced since launch
Each of these tools served a purpose once. But now? They were costing hours in admin and creating confusion for both staff and supporters.
Why This Matters for Not for Profits
When your systems don’t talk to each other, friction builds:
Staff waste time reconciling mismatched data
Volunteers get stuck waiting for access or instructions
Donors have inconsistent experiences
Leadership teams lose visibility — and trust in the tools
In the NFP space, where time and budgets are already stretched, this kind of inefficiency adds up quickly.
What Integrated Web Design Looks Like
With Trillion Trees, we didn’t just redesign the website, we made sure it worked with their existing systems.
Now:
Donation data flows directly into their CRM
Event registrations are visible without manual exports
Volunteer sign-ups live in one place
Admin time is down, and onboarding is smoother
The website isn’t just prettier, it’s doing the quiet, behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything ticking.
Build for Use, Not Just for Launch
Many legacy sites were designed to “look good for launch.” But not-for-profits in Perth need websites that work and sites that support real operations and grow with your organisation over time.
It’s not about flashy design. It’s about freeing up your people to do what they came here to do: serve the mission.
