Guide
How to build a fundraiser mini site for people who decide in seconds
Whoever gets the link on WhatsApp has a few seconds to understand the request and decide whether to trust it. Write the mini site for that person, not for a bureaucratic form.
The request comes first, with a name and a face
Open with the story in three sentences: who needs help, what happened and what the money is for. "Lucia lost her home in the flood and needs $2,500 to rebuild" beats a long text about the situation. Put a real photo of the person or the problem right above, and keep the goal and the reason visible without scrolling.
Show it is real
Doubt is what sinks most fundraisers. Use the Gallery for before and after photos, and the File download tool for quotes, medical reports or receipts that back up the cost. Also say who is organizing and how to reach them, with a WhatsApp or call button.
Make giving and sharing easy
minisitee does not receive the money: paste your fundraiser address into the Link tool, or your bank details and account holder name into the List. Add the QR code for people who see a printed flyer. And ask plainly: "if you can't give, send this link to two people".
Report back while the campaign runs
Donors want to know what happened with their help. Update the Text with the amount reached so far and a thank-you line, and swap a Gallery photo when there is progress. If the fundraiser has an end date, use the Countdown. When it closes, publish the result and say what the money was used for: it protects your reputation and that of the people who helped.
Best practices
Best practices for a fundraiser or campaign mini site
A fundraiser lives on a link passed around on WhatsApp: whoever receives it has a few seconds to understand the request and decide whether to trust it.
Wording: fundraiser, campaign, drive
“Fundraiser” is what people say and search; “campaign” sounds more formal and fits collective causes; “crowdfunding” and “drive” show up on platforms.
- Good: “Help Mrs. Lucy rebuild her roof after the flood”
- Weak: “Solidarity campaign for life”
- Bio (up to 160 characters): “Fundraiser to repair Mrs. Lucy's home, hit by the flood in Austin. Every gift and every share counts.”
Tool order decides the donation
On the free plan only the first 3 tools show, and in a fundraiser they must be the story, the give button and the organizer's contact. Put a Title with the cause first, then the Link to the fundraiser or a Text with the transfer details, then the WhatsApp button.
Receiving money without minisitee touching it
minisitee does not process payments or send mass e-mails.
- List, title: Bank transfer; detail: account, bank and holder's full name
- Link, button text: Give through the fundraiser
- QR code: same address as the Link, for posters
- Notice: the account must belong to the beneficiary or someone they authorized
Social proof: documents and photos behind the story
Distrust is the biggest obstacle.
- Photo of the problem, dated
- Quotes as PDF (at least two)
- Photo of the organizer, with name and relationship
- Permission from everyone who appears in photos
The campaign cycle: before, during, after
Before opening, have the text, photos, account and two quotes ready.
- Day 1: full background and goal explained
- Update at each milestone (quote approved, work started)
- Last day: thank-you and final amount used
Goal and amounts: never invent, never hide
If you publish a goal, say how it was calculated and what happens if the total ends up higher or lower (where does any surplus go?).
- Goal: the lowest quote plus the platform fee, per PDFs 1 and 2
- If it exceeds the goal: the surplus goes to the next stage, stated here
- Platform fee: described
Asking for help also means sharing
People who cannot give can spread the word.
- Address: minisitee.com/lucycampaign
- Short ready message, few emojis, with the link
Ethics and measuring without promising
Do not use photos of minors without a guardian's permission, nor expose suffering beyond what is needed. Do not publish full ID numbers, the home address or whole medical reports.

Questions from campaign organizers
Does minisitee receive the campaign money?
No. minisitee only builds the page. You add your fundraising link or the details you want to share, and payment happens outside of it.
Can I show how much has been raised?
You can write it in the page text and update it whenever you like. minisitee does not calculate or display amounts on its own.
Can I show photos and documents from the campaign?
Yes. The Gallery shows photos and the File download tool accepts PDFs up to 20 MB, such as reports and receipts.
How do people reach me?
Through the WhatsApp button or the Form, with up to 20 questions. Answers arrive in Configure.
Can I post news later?
Yes. You edit the page whenever you want, and the link stays the same, including on social media.
Can I use the mini site for a political or group-funding campaign?
For a fundraiser, yes: the mini site presents the request and sends people to your payment method. For political or otherwise regulated campaigns, follow the rules that apply in your country.
