"How eClubs can help your club"
eClubs is a unique, new approach to website creation, custom designed for sports and activity groups to help them to take advantage of the benefits of online exposure. There is literally an entire world of connected people out here that enjoy the freedom to browse and learn information about the widest possible range of topics, and some of those people will be looking for information about your type of club.
Some of the many advantages of an internet website for your club are ...
- A central location where information for your members can be found (from anywhere in the world and at any time of day or night)
- Information on your website that you change is available immediately - giving you control over it's accuracy (great for cancellations and updates)
- If someone needs to get in touch with your club (possibly to join or support you) then the internet is one of the first places they will look
- A website helps bind your team closer together into a community - through the sharing of mutual memories, triumphs, and defeats
- If your existing sponsors offer products or services - you can generate much needed income for your club by using parts of your website to support them
What hinders groups from 'taking the online plunge'?
In a word - complexity. The internet is made up of many hundreds of thousands of seperate computers all talking to each other using special 'math languages' that you need to learn in order to be able to create a website. To make a good website you may need to learn several complex languages. And as if that wasn't hard enough - the 'words' of those languages are constantly changing as new technologies are taken advantage of.
eClubs was designed to take care of those complex layers for you and provide you with the freedom (and tools) to add quality imagery, news and information to your site.
| Common Concerns | eClubs Custom Solutions |
|---|
| We have no knowledge of computer math languages or editing tools | With an eClubs website you will never see any computing code (unless you choose to) |
| Creation and ongoing monthly hosting makes a site too expensive for our club | All eClubs websites are completely FREE - and that includes ongoing hosting |
| We find computer terminology almost deliberately confusing and scary | We have done our best to name and label all actions using easy to understand terms |
| We have a limited amount of time available to create and update a site regularly | eClubs was designed for speed - most actions can be performed with only 2 clicks |
| We need to know the long-term benefits to the club in having an online website | Communication, Information, Creditability, Community, Professionalism, and Exposure |
| We worry that our website will look unprofessional or amateurish compared to others | With eClubs you can customise your site's appearance from a range of professional themes |
| We have too much information to be able to get it all online - it will take too long | eClubs members can create 'helper' accounts and distribute their workloads |
| We don't know how to write content that people will read and search engines will like | The eClubs admin area (and this site) contain helpful tutorials on writing content |
| Other websites will have newer features and be more interesting than ours | eClubs includes a regularly updated list of modules that offer state of the art features |
| We don't know how to use FTP file uploaders, paint programs and other software | These tasks are all built into the admin and can be accomplished with a few clicks |
We want to do everything we can to support our local clubs and organisations, which is why we made eClubs for groups just like yours. Sign up today to launch your club into a new era, or check out our online demo and take website creation for a test drive.
