The secrets to good clubs, associations and charities are good communication, member involvement and continually innovating to get new members and/or sponsorship.
Websites for CommunicationThe first in ceating a good website is ensuring that pertinent information is available quickly, easily and in a timely manner. The information could be as simple as description or aims of club, the main sessions dates and time, who the main contacts or organisers are and whether it's run by a committee or by an individual.
Of course, putting together a website on your own can be daunting and possibly turn to be time consuming. Articulan can help you to put togther a website where information that changes often can be easily changed without requiring technical website knowledge - all you need is a little knowledge of something like Word.
Another option for good communication would be having an email based newsletter - maybe sent out once a month. Again Articulan can setup a standard template and you can then fill the template with information and send to registered website members.
Committe based organisations can also keep their meeting minutes online or send them out using email or both.
Member Participation / InvolvementOrganisation that provide help or advice migh want to have community forum where members and/or the general public can ask questions and the designated members can reply to them. Articulan can help you setup a Frequently Asked Questions section or even a forum within the website itself.
Sports clubs can also have their league tables, forthcoming events and achievements all online.
SponsorshipGetting sponsorship is difficult and often you have to rely on just membership fees to run the entire operation. Having a website can give an extra source of income. The revenue generated could be from adverts from local businesses, selling of club merchandise or a simple online donation box.
