In this Just One Thing from Swell, we talked about creating simple donation pages in the Swell dashboard and learned how to connect them to the menu for your organization's website.
Looking to embed your donation page on your website instead of linking to it? Yes, it's possible! You'll need our help with this advanced strategy. Reach out to us at support@swellfundraising.com.

Connecting Your Swell Donation Page to Your Organization's Website
Introduction
Donation pages are one of the simplest types of events/campaigns/sites you can create in Swell. Here are a few reasons you might need to create one:
- You need a quick place to capture donations for an upcoming event
- You want to be able to capture donations through your organization’s website.
- Your organization is so new or small that you don’t have a website.

How to Create a Donation Page
Connecting Your Swell Donation Page to Your Organization's Website
Depending on your Content Management System (CMS), this process may look a little different for you, but the basic steps are:
- Open your CMS navigation panel
- Add a New item and choose "link" as the type of item to add
- Type the menu item's name as the text to link
- Paste the link to your Swell donation page
- Decide if you want to open the link in a new tab/window
- Save.
During the presentation, we did this for the three most commonly used website builders we see, Squarespace, WordPress, and Wix. You'll find links to the help files for each of those in the Resources section below.
