This is a limited time offer and exceeding good value, please read the following if you are editing your website.
When I first started developing graphics for websites I was using the Adobe Web Suite of graphics applications. I had invested around £1000 back in 2012.
Adobe started a program of converting users from pay per application to pay per month around 3-4 years ago. They revoked my licence to use Adobe Web Suite on the pretence that I had purchased their software from a non-approved distributor. Then offered me a pay per month package at reduced rates. I could not afford the £40 per month fees. Many others like me were stung by them. I have never trusted them since. I needed to fill the gap in my tool chain pretty quickly!
Serif Affinity Software
I came across Affinity Photo through my Mac. I purchased that at £49. This package is what I have pretty much exclusively used for all of my website development since. It is also available on the MS Windows platform. If does everything you need it to do at a much lower price than Adobe Photoshop, plus you pay for it only once.
Right now (19/01/21) this software and two other packages are available at 50% discount, and you can try them for free for 90 days. That is £23.99 each (one off payment).
There are three packages available at this price. Affinity Photo (a photo editing package within which you can also create graphics and layered designs). Affinity Designer, a vector graphics application, this one is a bit more specialised. Affinity Publisher, a sort of grown up version of Microsoft Publisher if you are creating graphics for brochures and publications. Each of these is £23.99.
The offer which includes download and use for free for 90 days as well as purchase at 50% discount is available from today.
From my perspective, the packages are very easy to use, support is good, along with tutorials. These are professional packages not just aimed at consumers. If you want to create graphics packages, brochures, posters then you cannot go too far wrong with these.
If you are buying them for the Apple Mac platform, then you can also use Family sharing and have multiple installations.
Plus if you are a photographer…
I also use Affinity Photo for post processing of RAW images from my camera. This allows me to finely tune any photographs I have taken before converting them to JPG.

If you are purchasing for your charity, and not for your personal use, I recommend that you do not tie it to an individual with a personal email address. Use a generic email address or functional name. The software is licensed to a functional role in the organisation if you handle it that way. So if your current editor leaves, you still have the software for the next website editor.
