Nonprofit Beach & River Cleanup Website Template
Clean Tide
A cleanup coalition whose whole year runs on one weekly ritual: a truck, a pile of buckets and a 7:30 start before the sand gets hot. The site is built to get someone from curious to standing on the right beach on Saturday morning, and to give schools, churches and companies a way to take on a stretch of shore for a year.

Why it looks this way.
- Typography
Climate Crisis was designed to show warming seas, and its wide capitals carry the weight of a stencilled truck door or a park sign. It is far too loud for paragraphs, so headlines stay short and everything else is set in Rethink Sans, a calm grotesque that stays legible in direct sun. DM Mono handles weights, tide times and site codes, the way they are written on the weigh-in clipboard.

- Color
The green is the color of the water off Pensacola Beach on a still morning, deepened until white text passes contrast on it. The yellow comes from the beach warning flags and the five-gallon buckets every volunteer carries. The light theme sits on a sea-glass white rather than sand beige; the dark theme is the bay at 6 AM, with the green lifted to a brighter shallows tone so it still reads.

- Layout
Most visitors open the site on a phone in a parking lot, trying to find the right access point. The floating dock keeps the six pages under the thumb, and Pick a Saturday sits in the top bar on every page. Pages are short and stacked; nothing important hides behind a menu.
Pages: Home, Cleanups, Adopt, The tally, Report, Crew
- Hero
The opening photograph is a family cleanup on the bay side, with the running line along its lower edge listing what volunteers actually pulled out this season: a shopping cart from Bayou Texar, six miles of fishing line, a toilet seat. It is funny and a bit appalling, and it explains the work faster than a mission statement.
- Calls to action
Every button names a concrete job: Pick a Saturday, Adopt a stretch of shore, Report a mess, Fund a cleanup kit. The giving ask is tied to equipment because that is honestly where the money goes; a kit of grabber, bucket and gloves costs $18.
- Photography
People working on the shoreline: families on the bay, kids with trash bags, a young man with the white bucket on the Gulf side. The site cards use plain views of the water at each access point, so a first-timer recognizes the place when they pull in. No sad-turtle imagery; the tone is a Saturday morning with neighbors.
- Accessibility
Body text is 17px with strong contrast in both themes, the ticker pauses on hover and stands still for reduced motion, and the cleanup pages say plainly which sites have beach wheelchairs, Mobi-mats and step-free access. Heat and lightning rules are written out in full rather than left to a disclaimer.
