Website Designer
The built in Website Designer provides
a turn-key solution for placing all your organization's
pertinent information on the web. There is no site
hosting/server to set up, no username or password to
remember, no special software to load, no programming to
learn. Publishing your organization's website is completely
automatic.
This means any report, view, or any information that
you would usually print to paper can be placed on your own
website. The players love it because all of the
league/tournament/handicap information is at their fingertips on the Internet.
All members have online access to reports, standings, game results, schedules, tee times,
next round info, handicapping reports, rules &
documents, photos, emails, announcements, etc. Bottom line -
any information you wish can appear on your website. And you
don't even have to be connected to the Internet to build
your website! Build your website offline (not connected to
the Internet) and update changes only when you are ready to
connect.
Why do I Need a Website?
The question really should be, how can you do without
a website?
A website lets you:
- Provide instant updated information to all your members.
- Information is available 24 hours a day.
- Information can be accessed from any computer, anywhere.
You benefit:
- Saves a tremendous amount of time. Example: Rain is predicted. Will the event be cancelled? How many phone calls will you get? Post an event cancellation notice on your website's homepage.
- Saves money. Example: Do you send out costly and time-consuming mailings or emails to update information, schedules, pairings, results, etc.? Your website is open 24/7. No need to print out endless copies of reports or send endless emails. Paper, postage, ink and other costs are zero.
- Reduces errors. Example: A result sheet shows an incorrect score. A member will let you know.
Members benefit:
- Better informed. Information is just a few clicks away.
- Members feel better. An informed membership feels included and well-serviced. They feel like they are not "bugging" you all the time.
- Saves time. Members can get complete, updated information at their convenience.
- Return on investment. You will be able to give them more for their money. Most people are familiar with and use the Internet regularly. More and more expect information to be available on the web.
Bottom line - your website will streamline your operations and become your greatest asset.
How do you do it?
- Select any reports, views, or sheets to include on your league's website.
- Use Website Designer to specify the order in which pages will appear on your site.
- Click the Publish button and your league's info is
now on the web.
