Website Design
for Football Clubs.
A club website is not a brochure. It is where sponsors get their money’s worth, where new families work out how to join, and where everyone checks the fixture on a Friday night. We build ones that do all three.

Clubs we have built for
Live client sites, desktop and mobile. Community clubs built to look the part for sponsors and be easy for a committee to run.

What a club website actually has to do
Sponsorship, memberships and new families all run through the same site. Here is what we build in, because it is what keeps a club funded and growing.
Give sponsors their money’s worth
Sponsorship pays for the season, so the sponsors page cannot be a wall of blurry logos. Proper tiers, clean logos and links back to their business, so when you ask them to renew you are pointing at something real.
Fixtures and ladders without the manual work
Nobody on the committee has time to retype the draw every week. Results and ladders pull through from the league system, so the site is right on Saturday morning without anyone touching it.
Make joining obvious
Memberships, player registration and junior sign-ups in one clear place, not a PDF form emailed to whoever answers the Facebook page. The easier it is to join, the fewer families drift to the club down the road.
Room for every side of the club
Seniors, netball, women’s and juniors are different audiences with different questions. Each gets its own space, so a parent looking at under 12s is not wading through senior match reports to find training times.
News that keeps people coming back
Match reports, milestone games, premierships, presentation night. This is what gets shared and what keeps past players and families connected, and it is the reason people check the site between rounds.
Something a volunteer can run
Committees turn over every year and nobody has time to learn a complicated system. Posting news, updating sponsors and changing training times is deliberately simple, so the site does not go stale in March.
How we build your site
Six stages from first conversation to a site that keeps bringing in work. Click through and see exactly what happens at each one.
Discovery
A free, no-obligation chat about what you actually need the website to do.
We go through your goals, the jobs you want more of and the ones you would rather stop getting. We look at who you are up against locally and what your customers want to know before they pick up the phone.
You come out of that conversation with a clear scope and a fixed monthly number. No discovery fee, no vague quote that quietly grows later.
- Your goals and best jobs mapped out
- A proper look at your local competition
- Clear scope and a fixed price up front
Research and planning
We work out what the site needs to say, and in what order, before anyone designs a thing.
We plan out the pages you need, the question each one has to answer, and the path from someone landing on your site to picking up the phone. Get that right and the design has an easy job.
This is also where the groundwork for showing up on Google goes in, so the site launches ready to be found instead of needing a rescue six months later.
- Every page planned around a real search
- A clear path from visitor to enquiry
- Groundwork for Google done early
Design and development
We design and build your homepage first, so you see the real thing rather than a picture of it.
You get a working homepage on a private link, not a flat mockup. Click through it, scroll it, open it on your phone, show it to whoever you trust for an honest opinion. It is far easier to give useful feedback on something real.
Once you are happy with the look and the feel, we build out the rest of the site to match it.
- Your homepage built first, not mocked up
- Review it live on any device
- The rest follows once you approve it
Optimisation and testing
We make it quick, check it everywhere, and change anything that is not right.
Most of your customers will meet you on a phone, often on patchy regional reception, so we cut the load time down until the site opens straight away. Then every page gets checked across phones, tablets and desktop.
This is also your round of changes. Reword a section, swap a photo, add the service you forgot about. Nothing goes live until you have signed off on it.
- Opens fast, even on poor reception
- Checked on every screen size
- Your changes made before anyone sees it
Launch
We handle the technical side so nothing breaks on the day.
Domain, hosting, security and the switch itself are all sorted for you. If you already have a website, we make sure every old page points to its new home, so the traffic and the Google rankings you have built up come across with you.
That last part is where most rebuilds quietly go wrong, and it is the difference between launching ahead and starting again from scratch.
- Domain, hosting and security sorted for you
- Your existing Google rankings carried across
- Live without downtime
Support and growth
A website without traffic is a car without fuel.
Hosting, updates, backups and monitoring are covered every month, so the site stays quick and secure without you thinking about it. Need something changed? Send an email and it gets done.
From there we push on your local search, your Google profile and your reviews, so the site keeps climbing and keeps bringing in work.
- Hosting, updates and backups handled
- Changes made when you need them
- Local SEO and reviews to keep it growing

We approached Lachlan about setting up a web page for our business and could not be happier with the end result. The process was very easy and nothing was too much trouble due to many changes we made. I’d highly recommend Lachlan if you’re considering a web design.

Our new website, created by Lachlan from We Are Hike, has just launched and we couldn't be happier with the result! Lachlan was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process and very quick to respond to emails and calls. The live deployment was quick and smooth and we have already had some great feedback for our new look. We would highly recommend We Are Hike. Thanks again Lachlan!

Straight answers before you commit
Still weighing it up? Call Lachlan and ask directly. No pitch, no pressure.
Plans start at $299 a month with no big upfront build fee. That covers the build, hosting, updates and support. Plenty of clubs cover it with a single extra sponsor, since the site is what you are selling them.
