Where it starts
VAT excluded
The exact price depends on the scale of the project (pages, languages, integrations). For a typical nonprofits and ngos business, our dedicated package is the simplest route.
Legislative Decree 117/2017, the Third Sector Code: RUNTS registration, publication of financial statements, governance transparency. 5x1000 under article 1, paragraph 154 of Law 190/2014: annual accreditation with the Revenue Agency, mandatory reporting within 12 months. Donations: article 83 of the Code for tax deductibility/relief. GDPR applies to donor data (marketing consent and impact reports). For public fundraising: any required authorizations from the Prefecture.
Frequently asked questions
brand identity & logo design for a nonprofits and ngos: how long does a project typically take?
It depends on the scale, but for most cases we're talking about 2-4 weeks from sign-off to going live, content included. For complex cases (many languages, integrations with industry software) it can take 6-8 weeks.
Can I start even if I don't have all my content (text, photos) ready?
Yes. We offer copy support and image selection as a separate package, or we proceed with placeholders and swap them in along the way. The important thing is to nail the positioning before the design phase.
Can I update the site on my own after delivery?
Yes. We deliver with a simple editorial panel (organised by content type) and 2 hours of training included. For structural changes (new sections, new templates) we step in.
Does the site comply with nonprofits and ngos industry regulations?
Yes. For this industry we take into account: Legislative Decree 117/2017, the Third Sector Code: RUNTS registration, publication of financial statements, governance transparency. 5x1000 under article 1, paragraph 154 of Law 190/2014: annual accreditation with the Revenue Agency, mandatory reporting within 12 months. Donations: article 83 of the Code for tax deductibility/relief. GDPR applies to donor data (marketing consent and impact reports). For public fundraising: any required authorizations from the Prefecture. We always start from compliance, we don't add it afterwards.
Why does a nonprofits and ngos project cost more than a generic site?
The nonprofits and ngos industry requires specific features, regulatory compliance and an architecture that works for its audience. What's optional on a generic site is included by default here — and it's cheaper to do it right from the start than to fix it later.
Why isn't a €50 logo online good enough?
A €50 logo is almost always an adapted template, not a bespoke design. The problems come later: the file delivered is a low-resolution PNG (won't scale beyond a business card), the typography is a common free font (used by thousands of other companies), you have no exact colour codes for print, and no usage rules. The real cost isn't the logo: it's redoing everything in 18 months when you realise it can't keep up with your growth. A well-made identity lasts 8-10 years, and is worth every euro spent well.
Do you give me the editable files?
Yes, always. We deliver the Adobe Illustrator sources (.ai), SVG, vector PDFs, plus PNG/JPG in the positive/negative/monochrome variants. The files are yours: no watermark, no lock-in, no fee to use them. If tomorrow you switch agencies, you leave with everything in hand.
How long does the process take from brief to delivery?
4-5 working days for a Logo Essential, 7-9 days for a Full Identity, 10-12 days for a Complete Rebranding. Timelines depend heavily on how fast you give feedback on the concepts: if the revision rounds are concentrated into 1-2 days the project moves quickly, if responses come scattered across weeks it stretches. We agree the schedule on signing.
What exactly does the brand book contain?
The main logo and all variants (horizontal, vertical, monogram, monochrome, negative), clear space and minimum sizes, primary and secondary colour palette with HEX/RGB/CMYK/Pantone codes, type pairings with scale (headings H1-H6, body, caption), examples of correct and incorrect use, base iconography, and business card and letterhead templates. A 25-40 page PDF ready to share with your team or other suppliers.
Do you also do a restyle?
Yes. It's often the most sensible choice when the brand is recognised in the local market but the identity is dated. We start from the existing equity (recognisability, historic colours, distinctive lettering) and modernise without breaking the bond with your long-standing customers. The result is an identity that feels new but stays yours. Typical case: restaurants with 30 years of history, established professional firms, historic artisan brands.
