Project: Website, email and digital consolidation for a multi-sport community club
Status: 2015-2023
West Ivanhoe Sporting Club is a volunteer-run community club in Melbourne’s north-east, made up of several sports: junior AFL football, junior and senior cricket, and junior and senior netball.
Overview: The club had no website. Its online presence was spread across five separate Facebook pages covering three sports, each run by its own independent committee. From 2015 we built a single website for the whole club, starting with a simple page for each sport while content was developed, and brought the club’s Google listing and social media together around it.
Services provided:
- A single website covering every sport, starting with a page per sport
- Consolidation of the club’s Google presence and social media
- Club email setup
- Word templates for club correspondence
- Content management access limited to one trusted contact, so the website stayed consistent as committees changed
Outcomes: The club had one website and one consistent online presence instead of five separate Facebook pages. Because content management stayed with a single trusted contact, the club kept continuity through the annual committee changes that are typical of multi-sport volunteer clubs.
