Setting up a Football Club Website
Just putting a post together for anyone that might be thinking of putting a website together for their football club. I will put a link to this post in the Junior League Club Websites thread (sticky thread at the top of the forum) so its easy to find later on.
Feel free to add anything you think should be in here as well. Its going to have two types of info in the content section. A 'must have' in bold lettering and a 'suggestion/idea' in normal lettering.
Setting Up
Webs is a very useful free website to use for building a website. It's a template based site and does not need any knowledge of HTML or web design. If you're looking for commercial hosting or a professional website, please get in touch with dahamsta, the operator of Foot.ie.
