Sportfocus

SportFocus is proud to announce its help in assisting the BCU by developing the successful bid winning website to host the 2015 Canoe Slalom World Championships.

Part of a staged development, the initial build was to act as a brochure website. This will then be expanded to display full London 2015 championship content including a variety of mobile integrated applications.

This project was set-up to aid the overall administration of the business and allow the regions more autonomy in doing so. Also of course at the same time removing some of the administration from HQ giving them more tome to focus on their 'core business'.

For the Regional Administrators, we have developed an easy to use wizard which accesses our Membership Management module enabling them to manage their boxers and process their annual fee's.

The website was launched at the beginning of October 2010.

We are the partner to BADMINTON England for the provision of their Membership System which drives a number of aspects within their business.

The Membership Database stores all of their Club Information as well as Member Records and as such they required us to integrate our 'Club Finder' module.

Their website has been installed for a number of years by another provider but we worked closely with BE to design the club finder pages to exactly mirror the rest of the website. This provides then a seamless interface from the website to the database and drives the 'Club Finder' module.

If you need this type of integration service drop us an email.

Last July we delivered our first project for GB Canoeing.

The site has proved a great success and as a result we have been contracted to design a fresh new site for Canoe England and also a set of Regional websites.

Canoe England also manage a large amount of documents for Coaching, Canoe Trails etc. and as such we have also provided them with our Document Library Module to manage all of these.

The site has been handed over and they are currently loading content with a planned release date of April 2011.

Bucks RFU county needed to improve communications for Players, non-players, Parents, Clubs and the County structures in order to help them to get even better in delivering Rugby to the County.

Chris McCombie, Chairman of Buckinghamshire RFU said 'The most important aspect of the whole  process was the attention to detail that was required. With numerous sponsors, 20 Clubs ( with over 10,000 members) and the whole of the County Youth development programme to satisfy, SportFocus demonstrated a clear and logical approach which saved many hours of time for our Executive and other officers of the County.'

Richard Brickley MBE and Chairman of SDS said:

Throughout the period of the partnership, SportFocus has consistently and skilfully moved with the times. In an industry that is always changing and where competition is fierce, SportFocus has remained an industry leader. Key staff have always been sympathetic to the unique needs of SDS as a Governing Body of Sport serving a very specific population of sports people. SDS has always found sportsfocus staff willing to listen, able to adapt and forward thinking.

Sportfocus now offers a range of services appropriate to the needs of Governing Bodies of Sport. Visit the website.

Wheelpower is another long standing client.

They wanted a new Look and Feel to be urgently created and also at the same time wanted to migrate to our latest CMS product set.

We completed the new design and development within a week and they then transferred their content so within a period of just two weeks the old site was taken down and a new site released.

Stephen Bell the owner didn’t just want a website he had one of those already, he wanted a new website that could help with the administration of his business so he could concentrate on delivering the business.
This meant using our membership Management System in the centre, integrated to that is the new website and also our Courses Module to allow on-line booking for courses/driving lessons.
So now clients can come on line book their course and pay at the same time which takes the admin overhead away from Stephen and offers the clients a better service.

Just one of three separate projects by National Drama.

The first was for a new CPD website and CPD functionality, a site that contains many Learning Modules and an area My Portfolio to post study work that is being worked on or completed.

Sitting at the core of this is our Membership Management Module which drives all the permissions and personal details.

We have completed three projects for National Drama.

The first was for a new CPD website and CPD functionality, a site that contains many Learning Modules and an area My Portfolio to post study work that is being worked on or completed. Sitting at the core of this is our Membership Management Module.

The second project was for an on-line Journal, this is a site where users can sign up for the latest publication and pay a fee for that copy, that fee gives them access to that publication in perpetuity but only that publication.

The third project id for the new main National Drama website.

This project was to assist the Administration of an International Sports Business that operates with very few full time staff.

As well as the new vibrant website we have also implemented our Membership Management system to capture all of the relevant member information throughout the World.

This also helps with the general communication of their members through the integrated communications module.

In order to assist IWAS we also offered them a payment plan spread over 5 years making the whole project affordable on an annual basis.
