Services

Websites, payments, email, and the dashboard behind them.

Practical web infrastructure for small operations: design iteration, domain support, secure connections, PayPal integrations, email tools, newsletters, and a client dashboard for the work you manage after launch.

Website

Webdesign and iteration

We design the public site with you, test visual directions, and keep iterating until the style supports the work your organization actually does.

Style cards make the early design conversation concrete:

Domain name management

We help you keep control of your domain name, DNS records, redirects, and service connections so the site, email, and dashboard all point to the right place.

Domain and DNS details

SSL/TLS

SSL/TLS, short for Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security, are cryptographic protocols that establish secure, encrypted communication between a browser and a server.

They provide the lock icon at the top of the browser.
They protect forms, checkout flows, and account access from being sent in plain text.
We use open-source tooling for certificate setup, so there is no separate SSL markup from us.

Payment processing

Online payment processing

We integrate website payments through your own small-business PayPal account. For many small organizations, PayPal is the bare-bones way to accept online payments without adding another platform in between you and your customers.

Some services charge extra or take an additional cut. We integrate the technology and keep the processor account in your hands, so the card-processing fee is the PayPal fee rather than an added FND fee.

Payment and hosting comparison

POS integration

PayPal also provides point-of-sale tools that can work without adding another subscription layer from us. That makes it a practical baseline for market stands, events, and in-person sales.

We can connect that payment workflow with the website and future software changes, so online sales, in-person payments, and dashboard reporting can grow together.

Emails

Email users

Create email users from your client dashboard.
Use an onboarding process that walks through the setup steps.
Pay by storage instead of overbuying seats you do not need.
Forward domain email to the personal inboxes your team already checks.

Email comparison

Dashboard

Manage and create email users for your domain.
See your website analytics.
Add PayPal for use on the website.
Use single sign-on authentication.

The dashboard is the easy-to-deploy way we give clients custom builds and practical tools while our larger software development continues in parallel. If you are a farmer and would like inventory, farm planning, supply invoicing, or sales invoicing workflows, contact us today.

Fiscal sponsorship & donation types

Fiscal sponsorship is an arrangement where a recognized 501(c)(3) accepts donations and manages funds for mission-aligned projects that are not standalone charities. Donations are legally made to the sponsor, and the sponsor retains governance responsibility.

Donation handling generally includes unrestricted support, designated/restricted support, and conditional gifts tied to milestones. This structure allows projects to fundraise with accountability while sponsors maintain audit-ready controls and disbursement policy compliance.

POS & in-person integration

Our approach can integrate in-person market-day payments with online donations, creating unified reporting while preserving correct separation between retail and charitable flows when required.

Unified reporting: align market transactions with online contributions.
Scalable workflows: use consistent operations across farms, events, and projects.
Clear separation: keep retail and charitable channels distinct for governance and accounting.

Our POS approach

We support a range of POS configurations depending on operational needs, scale, and connectivity. Our approach prioritizes simplicity, reliability, and alignment with existing payment and bookkeeping workflows.

In most cases, we recommend using PayPal's POS ecosystem as baseline. It integrates easily with other PayPal services, and there are no lock-in or price hikes for FND to develop custom product profiles and customer accounts — this is why PayPal's services allow us to offer unrestricted, competitive pricing.

Some systems are POS only, others are online payment processing only, and some are integrated solutions. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Emailing Compare

Forwarding, shared inboxes, listservs, and outbound newsletter platforms.

Comparative table across typical plans, operational limits, and admin overhead.

Google Groups note: Google Groups (included with Google Workspace) functions as a traditional listserv. It doesn't belong in the “marketing email” category because it lacks core CRM features: you can't build drag-and-drop graphic templates, you can't track who opened an email or clicked a link, and you can't set up automated welcome sequences.

Inboxes, aliases & role addresses

We avoid putting operations on personal accounts. Instead, we create role-based addresses (like info@, orders@, support@) that forward to the right people and can be reassigned cleanly as staffing changes.

Shared visibility: use group inboxes when multiple people need to see and respond.
Clear ownership: keep domain + admin accounts controlled by the client.
Operational continuity: preserve history when staff turns over.

DNS & deliverability

Email reliability depends on correct DNS. We configure the essentials (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and align sending sources so messages land in inboxes instead of spam folders.

Marketing Email Compare

Dedicated newsletter and CRM platforms.

Comparative table across outbound marketing platforms. Pricing for these services typically scales strictly by the total number of contacts/subscribers on your list.

Officially: Google Groups belongs firmly in the Email Management table because Google Workspace acts as a traditional listserv. It doesn't belong in this marketing table because it lacks core CRM features: you can't build drag-and-drop graphic templates, you can't track who opened the email or clicked a link, and you can't set up automated welcome sequences.

Prices reflect starting tiers based on minimum subscriber counts as of 2026.

Broadcasting, newsletters & consent

For bulk announcements and newsletters, we recommend using a dedicated sending platform (instead of sending from a normal inbox) to protect deliverability and keep unsubscribe handling automatic.

List hygiene: manage bounces and unsubscribes automatically.
Segmentation: target audiences (customers, volunteers, donors) without duplicate lists.
Compliance: ensure opt-in, footer requirements, and suppression lists.
