for those who don't know, open vpn is a vpn protocol & there are these .ovpn files that you can download for a vpn connection without having an official client for said vpn

i'm struggling to think of how i should style the donations page. because i watch it to be eyecatching but i dont want it to be over the top or silly. since it might come off the wrong way. idk i'm probably overthinking it but i dont wanna be disrespectful towards the people i will be linking you know

i feel like as long as its sincere people will understand! if sincere to you means no funny business, then that is how you should go.

Silly is fine if that's what your heart wants, personally I'd be more likely to donate to something that made me laugh than a very serious no goofing around donation page - maybe make it look like the Winrar free trial notification? It would match the Windows theme :)

You can start with a simplistic version of your normal layout with short descriptions for each Fund and then see how comfortable you are adding more elements or touching-up text.

@lakes just to be clear i am referring specifically to mutual aid for palestine and other important causes, not promoting a gofundme for myself

@lakes but ofc if you or anyone wants to promote their own gofundmes, it’s not my site and people can do whatever they want!😊
