G'day,

 

My name is Steve. I'm from Australia. I'm old hack at general computer use, I guess, although very new at the web-design... I've been looking at it closely for a total of 1 hour to be exact.

 

The reason I'm here is to learn what I need to know about building a site for my sports club. It is a junior rugby league club here in Brisbane, Australia. We currently have a web site but it is very basic. It is one that is given to the club by the sporting authority. It doesn't have much appeal or versatility. So I guess I'd like to learn how to do it myself, as the club is very tight on funds, like all junior sporting clubs I guess. We'd like to grow and I guess rebuild, after a couple of decades of tough times.

 

I think the aim of the site is like many others, to promote traffic flow to give our sponsors exposure, to encourage kids to become involved and to provide a resource for the kids and their parents to use. I think a visually appealing, functional and informative web site would do the club wonders.

 

I am putting the feelers out for the first time and I have to say, the world of web-design is looking a little daunting for someone with 1 hours experience. I would be appreciative if any forumers would be so kind as to point me in the right direction as to where I should start. I guess if there is a resource out there, along side this forum, that is accepted as good starting post, I'd love to know about it.

 

Thanks heaps for reading this. I'm looking forward to learning.

 

Steve
