Here’s a little bit about what you’ll read in our free guide to youth sports websites:

Identifying Your Audience and Crafting Your Goals

Having a solid understanding of your audience and goals will determine everything that goes into your website—content, design, mobile, SEO strategy, and layout. 

The chapter in the guide helps you answer the crucial questions you should ask yourself to determine who your ideal audience is and what the goal of your new (or revamped) website is. 

Designing Your Website

This chapter in the guide discusses all things design and layout. The seamlessness of your website can mean the difference between a visitor return or not, and having a clean and functional layout and design makes the user experience simpler and more informative.

The Content Your Website Must Have

The more questions you answer with your web content, the fewer phone calls you need to field. Quality content answers the questions your potential customers (and current customers) have about your programs, prices, products, and more. 

Optimization and Advanced Tricks

Optimization isn’t as complicated as it sounds. It’s simply making the website experience simpler and more accessible to all kinds of customers—and making Google love you in the process. 

A well-optimized website increases traffic, allows you to sustain long-term growth, and convert more leads into paying customers.  

Luckily, there are plenty of tools today that will help you with these processes, and this chapter in the guide gives you the cheat sheet to them.

What Your Website Needs to Grow Your Organization

Beyond a professionally designed website, your organization should be using a number of other tools to grow your business—seamless registration, innovative communication, ecommerce, and flexible payments. We close out the guide with a chapter discussing how to use these important tools.
