Website Design by RuckinRugby

Things have moved on a lot here at RuckinRugby in the last 12 months and you will see a distinct difference between the earliest websites and those that have gone live this year.

Brand new for the 2009/10 season we have a new, simple price structure and features set.

RuckinRugby Grass Roots Package

The ‘Grass Roots’ website package costs £300 per annum (with option to pay monthly). This site includes:
a. Complete site set-up with CMS (Content Management System)
b. A banner design to sit at the top of each page using your logo and a selection of action photos.
c. A slideshow function on your homepage displaying a selection of images from your gallery.
d. Ability to add any number of RSS feeds from anywhere and place them on any page.
e. A club ‘news’ function complete with its own RSS feed.
f. Ability to add advertisements on any page of your own design.
g. Fixtures/Results/ Selections/Reports function with league tables – per team.
h. up to 20  pages and 10 teams.
i. Player Profiles.
j. SEO and Google Analytics account.
k. Guestbook.
l. domain name registration and renewal.
m. up to 10 email accounts with webmail.

This is fine for a small amateur club that just want a web presence and have a small amount of teams that are easy to run and do not have individuals running each team.

RuckinRugby Professional Package

The Professional package includes all of the above, but also includes the following – at a price of £500 per annum (with option to pay monthly):

a. Multiple Banner designs so each page can have a different look
b. The ability to add graphics based headings and little design items to make each page more individual.
c. An account with blip.tv to add video feeds to your website.
d. Facebook and Twitter accounts set up and integrated to keep your club alive, fresh and all over google.
e. Google map location page.
f. Unlimited teams and unlimited pages.

 These may seem like small additions but they are the difference between on an online presence – and making sure that you as a club stand out in your area as the most professional and lively club.

Professional + ClubHub

The last addition is the integration of our new ‘clubhub’ system. You can only integrate ClubHub with a Professional package and the additional cost is dependent on how many members you have. The main function of the clubhub system is to allow your members to regsiter and PAY their membership online, with credit card. The collection of subs and the organisation of large junior sections are two primary concerns to our clients right now, and both are areas where clubs lose money. With clubhub installed:

a. we guarantee an improvement in subs collections and timely payment.
b. ALL members are in a single database for your ease of management.
c. once all members are in a secure area they can be assigned to teams and grades.
d. All internal club communication can take place in this secure area.
e. Notice boards can be placed online with public and private messages – easily.
f. Merchandise can be sold online during registration or any time to both members and non-members alike – MAKE money for your club.

There are many, many ways in which the addition of the clubhub function can help make your club more viable and it makes all administration and organisation much more easy for you so that you can get back on the pitch where you belong. Just go to www.clubhub.co.nz and have a look at the testimonials. You can use a 3 month trial for free and take it or leave it – we charge a  small fixed fee per member per annum in the UK (please ask for other countries) and depending on how many members you have, you may well be subject to a reduction in your annual hosting fees too. You are invoiced monthly for this part and only for members that have joined that month.
