That was (and still is) one of the factors that helped us decide to use GiveSmart in the first place. Their platform was the most able to give us a customized feel and experience for the best price. There are a few things it won't do, but they pale in comparison to the many ways to customize the platform to what we need in terms of functionality, look, feel, and ease of use for our donors. They are always open to suggestions and constantly try to improve their product in thoughtful and intelligent ways.

Once again, there is a learning curve - but with each event (have not done any straight fundraising calls) we have been able to customize it a little bit quicker and more easily. There are some structural limitations, but once you know those and know how to work with them, you can customize it. The benefit of customization is that people know they have landed on the correct site/place because they recognize your logo/ colors.

This is not something I have done directly, but when I do view the website where the auction items are held or other types of ticket sales, it looks great. It looks cohesive to our website and is easy to navigate to find and purchase what you are looking for.

It has the right amount of customizability for our organization. We are able to make the customer-facing forms and pages look and feel very much inline with the Genesis Brand. The only two qualms that I have is that the GiveSmart logo appears at the bottom of all the forms that we make, and I haven't yet found a way to remove it. The second is that there is no way to customize the URLs of the activity landing pages.

The GiveSmart forms are almost infinitely customizable. There's a bit of a rail feeling to them, but of course there needs to be in order to allow for mobile screens. The forms allow for imagery, font choice and color, field orders, customizable gift names and outputs, and lets us use both text and graphics to highlight what items we as an institution believe are most important and have the highest strategic value.

Relatively well; it is nice to match your team's page to who you are as an individual. Happy that GiveSmart does not watermark anything

Givesmart allows to customize the donation pages extensively. Other than the small notice about Givesmart at the bottom of the page, we were able to match our organizational branding pretty closely.

We have been able to customize several things on the GiveSmart platform. We generally have to have a designer create the graphics for us according to the required specifications, and that definitely allows us to get it all set according to our look, our brand, our desired specs. The one thing I would like to add would be non-users getting confirmations, say for event registration.
