We envision a world where artists can grow their presence and thrive in a modern world without compromising on their ethics.
Our mission is to offer artists an easy to use website builder that is an affordable and ethical alternative to existing major platforms.
Forgigs is a unique website builder that lets you showcase your work in a beautiful way but without the complexity of endless customization options. We aim to be an easy-to-use tool that artists can rely on to create and curate their online presence while retaining ownership and control over their content. Think of it as a linktree hosted on your own domain without compromising on looks. Moreover, we believe in the transformative power of art and technology — not only to connect artists and audiences, but to drive meaningful social impact. In this day and age when more and more companies are complicit in human rights violations and war crimes, people are looking for alternatives to those companies whose services they rely on to make a living. Those alternatives often do not exist. Forgigs wants to offer an alternative for the website builder industry and inspire other industries to do the same. We offer artists a conscientious alternative for website building — a platform where their subscription doesn't boost the balance sheets of Venture Capital or Private Equity firms, but contributes directly to critical humanitarian aid. We are committed to donating 30% of our revenue to reputable Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) dedicated to helping children in crisis. In light of the ongoing genocide and man-made famine in Palestine, this mission takes on particular urgency and significance. Forgigs allows artists to build and grow an online presence while using their platform for justice by supporting The Palestine Children's Relief Fund, who deliver critical medical and humanitarian relief to children throughout the Levant.
How do artists know that you are actually donating 30% of your revenue?
We will make this as transparent as possible, through clear [and verified] reporting on our annual revenue, quarterly donations to the cause and confirmation from the charity that they have received the donation, plus a dedicated page on revenue and donations.
How did you decide on 30% of revenue?
30% is an arbitrary goal we think is achievable, while ensuring that donations are sustainable in the long term and support Forgigs’ financial independence.
Will you keep the amount you donate constant at 30%? How will you review this % in the future?
This number can be adjusted over time but not without proper notice. We think of this number as a minimum guarantee and our goal is to make this company as cost efficient as possible in order to donate extra if available.
Why should artists choose your product vs. others?
Forgigs is primarily an alternative to other website builders for its ethical stances. But we also built forgigs with the ease of use and low price points to help artists around the world create beautiful websites and update them in seconds.
