Indaba Websites and newsletters for clubs

What a club gets

Everything here runs today. Where you can see it on the demonstration club, the link takes you there.

A website of its own

  • The club's own address, logo, colours and menu, with a light and a dark version.
  • Pages the club keeps itself: home, about, how to join, privacy and terms. An example.
  • Pages read well on a phone as well as on a computer.
  • An editor for the club's own people: they change the pages and put together the newsletter themselves, without a developer.

A newsletter

  • Each issue is built from sections: an editorial, stories, dates, notes and a closing piece, in the club's own order.
  • One issue, three ways to read it: on the website, as a printed PDF, or by email to subscribers.
  • A back-page almanac for the club's next gathering: sunrise, wind, temperature and rain. More about the newsletter.

Events and maps

  • A calendar of the club's dates, which also feeds the newsletter's diary.
  • Maps of routes, venues and points of interest, with a photograph and a note for each. The demo club's walk map.

Members

  • Members sign in, and some pages and tools are for members only.
  • Forms for joining and contact, so enquiries reach the right person.

More than one language

A club's pages can be offered in more than one language, so members read the site in the language they prefer.
