Questions

Good questions

More? Tap Ask DC2 in the corner, or use the form.

What is a live annual report?

A web version of your annual report. Readers can hover and filter the charts, every number links to the page it came from, it works on phones, and you share it with one link.

What do you need from us to start?

Your latest report, as a PDF or a link. That is enough to start. If two numbers in the report disagree, we send you a short list of questions.

How long does it take?

A Snapshot is ready 2 weeks after we have your final report. For a Full Story, we agree on a date together before you pay.

How much does it cost?

A Snapshot is $750: up to 2 sections and 6 charts, one round of changes. A Full Story starts at $2,000. Add-ons such as a video or a map are priced on the page.

What is the free preview?

A free, private mockup of one section of your report as a live page, with your real numbers and your colors. Nonprofits get priority, and we take a few each month.

Who owns the finished report?

You do. You get the full source code and a plain-English guide, with no subscription. We can also launch it on your own web address as an add-on.

Is it accessible?

Every package includes an accessibility check. Charts can switch to a table, and the pages work with screen readers and keyboards.

Do you only work with nonprofits?

Mostly nonprofits, and also churches and businesses, across the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. area. Besides annual reports we rebuild impact, financial, grant, donor and board reports.

Do you also do Power BI or videos?

Yes. We build Power BI dashboards for your team (priced by quote) and 60-second video explainers ($400).
