The programmes outgrew the spreadsheet years ago. Sign-ups arrive by text, donations by bank transfer with no reference, and every funding report means a week of reconstruction. We build calm, durable tools for organisations that run on goodwill.
For charities, foundations, faith and community groups, and volunteer-run organisations across Aotearoa.
Everything a community organisation needs online: built once, handed over properly, and maintainable by whoever puts their hand up next year.
One place that explains who you are, what you run, and how to get involved: clear enough for a first-time visitor, credible enough for a funder.
Youth programmes, volunteer drives, community dinners: people register online, and the coordinator gets a clean list instead of a paper pile.
Simple, trustworthy online giving by card or bank transfer, straight to your own account, with a numbered receipt for every gift and no percentage skimmed by a middle platform.
Volunteer sign-ups you approve from the console, and reports on donations, event sign-ups and subscribers that fill in as you go, not reconstructed from memory each March.
For a small charity, every paper sign-up sheet and unlabelled bank transfer is another evening of admin.
Salix builds your organisation its own website, with events, donations and newsletters in one place.
People find your event, register online, and add it to their calendar in one tap.
Paid tickets go through Stripe, and when an event is full, new sign-ups join a waitlist.
On the day, tick guests off as they arrive.
Donors give by card or bank transfer, to an appeal with its own progress bar.
The money goes straight to your own account, with no platform fee on top.
Each gift gets a numbered receipt by email, with your charity number and IRD number on it.
Send your newsletter to everyone, or just to one group, from the same console.
Every screen has a help button, and your lists export to a spreadsheet.
And your reports show how donations and sign-ups are trending, ready for the funder.
Salix. Events, giving and news, in one place for your charity.
Site for a national interfaith and community foundation running youth programmes, volunteer drives, and food-relief initiatives for 3,500+ people a year.
Outcome: one home for every programme, drive, and initiative, run by the foundation's own people.
Internal tooling for community-sector organisations: memberships, contributions, and programme records kept in one place instead of seven spreadsheets.
A coordination app for a volunteer-run community service: rostering, requests, and follow-ups handled from a phone between day jobs.
I had a fantastic experience working with Salix Limited team on our organisation’s (Pearl of the Islands Foundation) website. They did a truly great job, and I would highly recommend them.
To be honest, in my 25+ years of professional experience, this is one of the first times I have come across a web development team that is so flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. They were always willing to listen to our ideas, understand our requirements, accommodate changes, and find practical solutions without compromising on quality.
What impressed me most was their ability to combine strong technical expertise with excellent communication and a very customer-focused approach. They delivered tasks on time, were transparent throughout the process, and were always open to discussion and negotiation when needed.
Building a website can often be a challenging process, but this team made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Their professionalism, patience, flexibility, and commitment to delivering a quality outcome really stood out.
A big thank you to the entire team for your hard work and dedication. We are very happy with the final result and truly appreciate everything you have done for us. Highly recommended!
Build prices you can put in a funding application before you ever email us, and a monthly platform figure that is fixed rather than a floor. Registered charity? Ask about our community rate and grant-cycle invoicing.
Indicative floor. Final quote after scoping. No GST: Salix Limited is not GST-registered.
Indicative floor. Final quote after scoping. No GST: Salix Limited is not GST-registered.
Platform & security: required for as long as the site is hosted with us. Community-rate care from $150/mo on top, optional. No GST: Salix Limited is not GST-registered.
Yes, and the prices on this page already reflect it, but it is worth being precise about where the discount sits. The community rate is on our labour, which is the part we can choose to charge less for. It is not on the $95 platform and security fee, because hosting a charity costs exactly what hosting a shop costs and a discount there just means the servers get paid for out of somewhere else. Registered charities can also ask about flexibility on payment timing; we would rather shape the invoice around your grant cycle than see the project not happen.
That is the design constraint we start from. Updating a programme page or posting an event should be no harder than writing an email. Every build ends with a handover session, and we leave behind short written guides, not a manual.
Usually, yes. If your existing site is structurally sound we can add a donation flow to it; if it is not, we will tell you honestly and quote both paths so you can decide.
A Noticeboard build can be live in two to three weeks when your content is ready. Tell us the deadline up front. We plan the build backwards from it, and we will tell you plainly if it cannot be met rather than discovering that together in the final week.

We read every enquiry ourselves and reply within two working days. Quick chats, long briefs, half-formed ideas: all welcome.
Send a short note about who you serve, what you run, and where the paper piles up. If there's a grant application or committee meeting involved, tell us the date. We'll shape our reply so you can take it straight to the table.
