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.

@seasoups thanks

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!😊
