Running a grassroots sports club is hard work. Volunteer treasurers and secretaries manage subs, hall bookings, and coaching schedules on shoestring budgets. Spending £1,000 on a website designer is simply out of the question. So how can you get a proper site for free?
The problem with DIY free site builders
Free website builders like Wix or WordPress.com sound appealing until you realize they plaster ugly third-party adverts all over your club’s page and don’t allow you to use your own custom domain name without paying monthly fees.
The sponsorship model: a win-win
Instead of paying an agency, clubs can partner with local businesses or equipment suppliers. The sponsor covers the design and build cost in exchange for a tasteful, clearly disclosed banner or link on the site.
