Does your bike club need ...
- ... to use the internet to reach potential new members?
- ... a new web site, but you're on a limited budget?
- ... want to use your website as the hub of club communications?
- ... have members who would like to create and maintain a website, but need to learn about the technologies?
To reach these goals you have many options:
- You could use one of the many free site builders around -- but your members and potential members will see more ads than information about your club.
- You can pay a few hundred dollars -- and get a site that looks like everybody else's and doesn't project a good image of your club.
- You can spend thousands for a fancy site that rates high on the "coolness" scale -- and breaks the budget without doing what a good bike club site needs to do.
- You can wait while your interested members take classes and craft a site -- but that may take a while, with uncertain results.
Twocranks designs and develops cost-effective club web sites
The basic elements of most bike club websites are the same, like ride calendars, photo albums, newsletter downloads, membership forms, etc. However there are may ways to implement these elements and I've found a set of cost-effective technologies that I use to create economical and effective bike club websites. I can also present them in a way that conveys to potential members exactly what your club is all about.
Not only do I understand these elements, I have experience leading clubs to consensus on good site design and effective implementation. I'll not only create for you a website your members will be pleased with, I can help you clarify your processes as well.
Many bicycle clubs have members with software technical skills, but find they don't have the time or the inclination to build more than a simple website. Yet these folks could do a fine job of maintaining and enhancing an existing site. I can help you identify your club's needs and then build a site that not only meets those needs, it's built in a clear and understandable way, with simple tools that the technically savvy club member can run with. You can hire me to maintain your site after it's up, but I'd much rather empower your club to maintain it yourself.
"Bob's work exceeded our expectations in creating a website for our tandem club. He set up timelines and goals so we would know what to expect. He stayed in constant communication with us and was easy to contact. The manual he created has been easy to understand and use. We were extremely happy that he was able to work within our budget."
