Dear guest, welcome to ClubConcern
When you surf the internet you will discover that the majority of clubs either do not have a website or make do with an unsatisfactory page or two trying to establish a web presence and promote their club; charming new members and sponsors.
We understand what it’s like to build a website on a shoestring. We know what it’s like to want a web presence but must make do with a free page or two with your broadband supplier, or worse still - with a broadband supplier of a “techie” club member! Many clubs have experience of an ill-considered website that is not kept up to date after a couple of years because the “techie” club member lost interest and left...
Why do clubs go down this route? Why don’t they choose the professional direction?
Well, we were not really surprised to observe what website providers were charging to design a website; the sort of price that clubs simply can’t afford! Only a lucky few have the resources to take advantage of the services of a professional web designer.
A sorry state of affairs...
…but perfectly understandable; website design does not come cheap – it is business and businesses must make money to endure.
We did not like what we witnessed…
We looked into the situation and decided that there is no reason why clubs and non-profit organisations should be milked beyond their means.
We created ClubConcern, an initiative based on simplicity and affordability; it must be simple to set up and maintain, but at the same time look and perform like any other so-called ‘professional’ website!
Hence our motto: ‘We’ll save you an arm and a leg… PROMISE!’
We genuinely want to demonstrate to you that ANYONE can afford a professionally built website. Being on a tight budget does not mean you have to forfeit satisfying web presence! Your club, informal association or society, and any non-profit organisation CAN afford a noteworthy website.
This bears repeating - we are talking about a PROFESSIONAL website, in the sense that it addresses all your reasonable online needs, not only a STATIC page you cannot access or change to your heart’s desire.
CONSIDER THIS…
In our opinion, the internet (World Wide Web or Web for short) is mainly used to convey information. Yes, that’s right; to tell others about your organisation, business, activities, problems, advice, advertising, promotion – in short, INFORMATION you want others to know about and, if you do it correctly, stand to GAIN substantial reward from.
The internet offers you this opportunity. It is a tool you could use to attract interest in your affairs, whether it is a club or any other enterprise.
So, what is it that we offer you?
We offer you a professionally built website, not one of those static sites that in many cases take a lot of effort and money to maintain.
We offer you the opportunity to maintain the content of your website; you will be able to post your own information using tools provided by us. (This type of website is called CMS, which stands for: Content Management System).
That's right; you will NOT require an ‘outsider’ webmaster or technical IT person to update your website for you; YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF!
Watch this video; it will give you an insight in what is involved;
(watch in full screen for a better video experience):
Yes, you will have full control over your website’s content - it's easy and fun - with a little guidance from us. No need to worry that you won’t be able to do it. We guide and support you all the way!
If this sounds too daunting though, we also offer to maintain the content of your website for you.
Just think what this may mean to you:
1. You will be able to publish information, such as
- Your club’s activity program
- Results of competitions
- Special announcements and regular news
- Your club history and aims
- Your member list – email addresses, telephone numbers, etc. (protected from unauthorised eyes, of course!)
- Links to your sponsors
- Honours pages
- Acknowledgment pages
- AGM and regular meeting minutes
- In short – most anything you can think of!
2. Attract new members and sponsors through your website
3. You may even decide to share a page with a sponsor in exchange for sponsorship
4. Post photos in your articles to showcase your club
You see, what makes or breaks a website is its content (INFORMATION) or lack thereof - is it up to date and does it convey your message to the members of the club or association? Does it catch the attention of the millions of browsing eyes of the cyber world? Does your website add value to the club's day to day operation? Will your site attract new members or sponsors?
