Supporting those who protect our natural world is one of the best parts of our job. We had the pleasure of working with LIPU-UK, a dedicated charity that acts as the British arm for the Italian League for Bird Protection (Lega Italiana Protezione Uccelli).
Members and friends have together raised money totalling over £2,000,000 which has been committed to conservation work in support of the birds in Italy
“I look after a small charity and Nick has revised our website with excellent results. However, it’s the ongoing support that is out of the ordinary, he’s overcome problems caused by outside factors with patience and good humour. All round good service.”
David Lingard, LIPU
Who are LIPU-UK?
For over 30 years, LIPU-UK has been a vital lifeline for bird conservation in Italy. They focus on protecting migratory birds—many of which pass through the UK—by funding anti-poaching patrols, managing nature reserves, and protecting nesting sites for rare species like the Bonelli’s Eagle. They operate entirely on a voluntary basis, ensuring nearly every penny raised goes directly to the birds.
A Website Built for Action
When LIPU-UK approached us, they needed a digital home that was as efficient as their team. We created a custom-designed WordPress website to match their branding and unique workflow.
-
Easy Blogging: We streamlined the back-end so their volunteers can easily share news from the field in Italy.
-
Newsletter Archive: They have a rich history of “Ali” (Wings) newsletters. We built a dedicated system for them to upload and archive these digital editions, making decades of conservation knowledge accessible to their members.
-
Intuitive Navigation: With a clear, modern layout, supporters can now find donation links and project updates in seconds.
Sustainable & Secure
A charity dedicated to nature deserves a website that respects the environment. That’s why we provide green web hosting, powered by renewable energy, to ensure their digital footprint is as light as a feather.
Beyond the initial build, LIPU take advantage of our WordPress maintenance service, handling all the technical updates and security behind the scenes. This allows the LIPU-UK team to focus on what they do best: saving birds and protecting biodiversity.
Summary
It’s been an inspiring project, and we’re proud to play a small part in keeping Europe’s skies safe for the next generation of songbirds and raptors. If you need a custom WordPress or GravCMS website for your small charity, drop us a line today.
