  • New SCOV PB website

    After a demonstration and full discussion during the August 2018 open meeting, the SCOV Pickleball Club’s Board of Directors decided  to move our website from Wild Apricot Systems (WAS) to a custom website hosted at Siteground.com.

    The needs of the Club were identified as:

    • Membership management
    • Court Scheduling
    • Event Management
    • Email Blasts
    • Surveys, Voting & Polling
    • Club information (rules, policies, $$$)
    • General PB information & education

    The reason for the change:

    1. Wild Apricot Systems (WAS) have dramatically increased their fees.
    2. Authoring/editing web pages and email blasts are cumbersome and limited in functionality on WAS.
    3. WAS is a business primarily focused on fund-raising for philanthropies and membership-growth for fee-based subscriptions and organizations. We’re the only PB Club using WAS, as far as we can determine.
    4. The no-cost service from Skedda for court scheduling:
      – Is labor intensive,
      – Has limited functionality and
      – Provides very little customer support (from outside the US)

    Total cost comparison for the coming 3 years

    Wild Apricot Systems =  $2,916 or more
    Custom website =  about $400 fixed cost
