A website for clubs and associations: what it needs

Clubs and associations run on volunteers, and the website has to fit that. The most important quality isn't fancy design, but that the board can actually update it without understanding a complicated system.

A schedule locked in a PDF is always out of date. With a simple admin, the board updates dates and events themselves, and members always see what applies right now.

Simple forms for events and membership gather sign-ups in one place, instead of scattered across email and Facebook threads.

Logos, bylaws and minutes should live in one place, easy to find for both members and sponsors. That makes the site useful all year, not just before the season starts.

The point is a site the board dares to use. Simple admin tailored to the need, low setup and a fixed monthly rate, without plugin chaos or large upfront costs.
