    I suppose so, however many people say that that dislike webpages with donation links on, I don’t want to dissuade people from using the site you see.
    Also if I was to use one, would you suggest I use it on every page say by the side navigation bar or just on selected pages? Cheers.

    Yes I think I may place a donation link later in the websites development, when people are actively using the website and trust it, they would be more inclined to donate or at least understand its existence. Since the website is relatively new, I think it may cause irritation to some visitors.

    If its a button, probably not. But if its a pop up or banner, then YES.
