Club websites - How fresh is your club website?
How does your club website rate? Anelis C. of South Dakota said it best: "I think it is very important to keep your website updated. If someone is interested in your club, they would like to know what's happening now …"
Here's an easy 1-2-3 test. Make sure these three critical areas of your home page are current, with nothing older than 30 days:
- Club news
- Events calendar
- Welcome message or details about your club and club meetings
If yours doesn't pass, help is only a few clicks away. Get ready-to-run news briefs at www.kiwanisone.org/readytorun. Schedule at least one event per month and post meeting dates and details promptly on your calendar. Post a welcome message and some information about your club front and center on your home page. And see www.kiwanisone.org/idealsite for examples.
Got your website basics under control? Then take it to the next level by consulting the best practices checklist at www.kiwanisone.org/webtools.
