A Good Reason to Brand The average donation made through a branded checkout page is 38% larger than the average donation made through a generic page, and donors who give through branded pages are 66% more likely to make a second gift. Create compelling, branded (non-generic) easy- to-use donation landing pages. One step forms that are simple, clean, and match your branding are optimal for conversions. succed-2014/

Mobile “Responsive” Website Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones). Hamburger Menu is the box with three lines that is typically in the top right of a responsive site when viewed on a smaller screen. This controls the menu.
