The design work nobody has time for.
Everything you need to design and publish every donor-facing surface, with AI built in.
Describe it. Get a page.
Donation, event, volunteer, survey. Or describe the page you need and review the draft.
Embed it anywhere.
Elements drop into the website you already have, and write back to the record.
An ask that fits each donor.
Signed links personalize amounts from each donor's own record.
How it works
Seed it once. Describe what you need. Publish with approval.
01
Seed
Point the studio at your website. Your mission, programs, brand palette, and voice guidelines land in the workspace, and everything designed here starts from what’s on file.
02
Describe
Pick a page type: donation, event, volunteer signup, newsletter, survey, or a content page. Or describe the page you need, then review the draft the studio produces.
03
Publish
Every gift the page captures posts through the same governed gift processing as every other gift: receipted, batched, and accounted for. A person approves before anything goes live.
Elements
Ignite, embedded in the website you already have.
You built your website and it works. Elements add Ignite to it the way a video embed adds a video, except every element is a doorway into the record. A volunteer signup on your site creates or matches the constituent, writes the history, and shows up where your team works.
Donation widgets
A complete giving experience embedded in any page of your existing site.
Campaign cards & goal meters
Progress that updates as gifts post. No screenshots, no manual edits.
Impact counters & donor tickers
Live totals and recent-gift streams that turn momentum into social proof.
Testimonial blocks
Stories and social proof, styled to your brand without a designer in the loop.
Event registration
Signups that create the registration in Ignite: attendee, history, and all.
Volunteer registration
A signup on your site creates or matches the constituent and writes the history.
QR codes
Print-to-digital bridges for events, mailers, and signage that resolve to live pages.
Full pages
When you’d rather not embed: complete, hosted pages published straight from the studio.

Personalized asks
The page knows who's reading it.
Signed links personalize the giving amount per recipient. A page built by a point tool can't do this, because it has never seen a donor record.
One link per donor
Each recipient gets a signed link that carries their identity. No login, no lookup.
The page reads the record
Giving history, engagement, and capacity shape the ask amounts that render.
A different ask for each donor
A $50 annual donor and a major-gift prospect open the same campaign and see different amounts.

Co-design
Edit by saying what you want changed.
A draft is a starting point. Work through it the way you'd mark up a proof: select, comment, apply. The studio makes the changes while you keep the judgment calls.
- Select any region of a draft and type the change you want
- Leave comments across the page and apply them one at a time or as a batch
- Review every applied change. Nothing publishes until a person approves it

The studio never publishes on its own.
One studio, every surface
The same studio designs your email.
Marketing email is drafted in the same studio, from the same brand, and receipts, acknowledgments, and giving statements pull that brand too. Design once; every surface a donor touches matches.
See Ignite MarketingA point tool can generate a page.
It can't personalize from a record it doesn't hold, and it can't transact through controls it doesn't have.

Questions
Asked before every embed.
Direct answers, because your web team will ask them anyway.
Book a working sessionWhat is Ignite Design Studio?
Ignite Design Studio is the design system and publishing studio behind every donor-facing surface the StratusLIVE Ignite platform produces: giving pages, event and volunteer registration, embeddable website elements, and email. It stores your brand once and applies it to everything you publish, personalizes ask amounts from each donor’s record through signed links, and posts every gift through governed gift processing. Teams publish full hosted pages or embed elements in the website they already have, and a person approves everything before it goes live.
Is Ignite Design Studio a website builder?
No. It works both ways. Keep the website and CMS you have, and embed elements directly in your pages: donation widgets, goal meters, event and volunteer registration. Or publish complete hosted pages from the studio when you don’t want to touch the website at all. Most organizations do both.
Do we need a developer to use it?
No. Full pages are designed and published inside the studio, and an element embeds in your existing site the way a video embed does. Your web team places a snippet once; everything the element shows and collects is managed from Ignite after that.
What happens when someone gives on a page?
The gift posts through the same governed gift processing as every other gift on the platform: it lands on the constituent record, is receipted and batched, and flows to finance without an export. A signup does the equivalent: the studio creates or matches the constituent and writes the history.
How does it match our brand?
You point the studio at your website once. Your brand palette, typography, imagery, mission, and voice guidelines land in the workspace, and every page and element designed afterward starts from what’s on file, so surfaces match your site by default instead of by rework.
Does the AI publish anything on its own?
No. The studio drafts; people publish. Every page and element goes live only after someone on your team reviews and approves it, and every gift it captures moves through the platform’s governed processing controls.
