My portfolio includes amateur sports sites. I do sites for individual teams, as well as sites for clubs, creating unique designs. So far I’ve made 33 team sites and 2 club sites.

I also do other sites for businesses, individuals, and non-commercial groups: for details, see Portfolio: Websites & Concept Pages.

Note : I am not affiliated with any of the sports organizations I make sites for.

Team Sites

It typically costs $400 each year for a team site when I have a site design I can reuse and the site resides on my domain, www.upsdell.com. I now have reusable designs for Georgetown Eagles and Mississauga Majors baseball teams, and Mississauga North Stars and Toronto Titans hockey teams. Most teams prefer a site residing on my domain because this is cheaper: a new domain would mean a higher cost, for the domain name and site host.

It normally costs an extra $150 when I have not yet created a design for a club, but this is a one-time cost, as a new design can be reused for later team sites.

Costs will vary if your team has special needs.

I put all the information on the site myself: you just have to send me any information I can’t find myself. One exception is that you may, if you wish, post an urgent message on the site’s news page yourself, in which case you must fill out a simple form.

My team sites normally offer:

• Information about the team: news, the roster, sponsors information, a small photo gallery, and contact information. Whatever should not be read by the general public is on password protected pages.
• Information about the schedule: a calendar, the list of games, a list of tournaments, and tournament details.
• Information of a more general nature, e.g. maps or links to maps.
• Your site is kept on-line indefinitely so that, in later years, people can review your team and its accomplishments.

A fairly typical team site is the team site for the Mississauga Majors’ 2009 Major Bantam AAA baseball team: other team sites offer similar pages, though sites for different clubs will look very different, as you can see if you visit sites listed in the above sidebar titled My Sports Sites.

Contact me, give me the details, and I will offer a quote: unless your needs are far from the norm, the costs will be as mentioned above.

Club Sites

The costs of club sites vary a lot, because each club has its own special needs. There is typically a one-time cost for creating the site, an annual cost for maintaining the site, and — rarely — surcharges if the club wants something new added which requires much extra work.

Contact me: let’s discuss what you need, and I will submit a quote once I understand your needs.

Unique Designs

When I first create a team site for a club, I create a unique design. If I create another team site for the same club, I reuse the design and often improve the features or design in the next sports season.

When I create a complete club site, I create a unique design for the club, though again I often improve enhance the features and design from year to year.
