A proper website for your club, that keeps itself up to date.
Modern club sites with live league fixtures, match reports that write themselves and registration that runs itself. Built for grassroots football clubs, and looked after so you never have to.
No signup. No sales call unless you want one. Just reply and I'll send a mockup in your colours.
Sound familiar?
- The last news post is from two seasons ago, because the one person who could update the site moved on.
- Parents ring the manager on Saturday morning asking where the match is, because the fixtures page is a PDF from March.
- You're asking a local business for sponsorship and hoping they don't look at the site first.
- The registrar has a spreadsheet, an envelope of cash from Tuesday training and forty WhatsApp messages to send. She's mentioned this is her last season.
None of that is your fault. Club websites die because keeping them alive is a job nobody signed up for. ClubPress is built so that job mostly does itself.
Four things your club actually needs from a website.
The bit nobody else does
Match reports without the work
Enter the score and one line about the game. ClubPress writes the match report and the social post, in your club's voice. The news section never dies again.
Fixtures that update themselves
Your league's fixtures and results, straight from FA Full-Time and always current. We set it up with you at launch, then nobody touches it again. Parents check the site, not the WhatsApp group.
Registration that runs itself
Parents register the whole family and pay online — card, instalments or at the club. The money lands in the club's own account, and the registrar sees who's paid without opening a spreadsheet.
You're never stuck
Hosted, maintained and backed up by us. Something breaks, a season rolls over, a new team joins — you email a person, and it's sorted.
The bit nobody else does
Score in. Match report out. Thirty seconds, from the car park.
Nobody has time to write match reports, so nobody does, and the news page rots. ClubPress does the writing. The coach does the bit only they can do — what actually happened.
Coach enters the score
Full-time whistle. On their phone, in the car park: the score, and one line about the game if they fancy it.
ClubPress writes the report
A proper match report in your club's voice, plus a ready-to-go social post. Read it, tweak a word if you like, hit publish.
It's on the site and on socials
News section updated, result recorded, post out to Facebook and Instagram. Parents see it before they're home.
The bit the treasurer cares about
Fees in. Spreadsheet gone.
September shouldn't mean a Google Form, an envelope of cash and a registrar who wants to quit. Parents register every child in one go and pay by card, in instalments, or at the club — straight into the club's own account. The registrar gets an inbox that shows who's paid, and the reminders send themselves.
Whole family, one form
Date of birth picks the fee. Second and third children get the sibling discount automatically.
Card, instalments or cash
Online payments go to the club's own Stripe account, with the club's name on the statement. Pay-at-club for the families who prefer it.
A registrar inbox, not a spreadsheet
Who's registered, who still owes, who paid cash on Tuesday. Reminders go out on a schedule you set.
A parent registers the family
On their phone, in five minutes. Date of birth picks the right fee; the second child gets the sibling discount without anyone asking.
The money goes to the club
Card, three monthly instalments, or pay at the club. Card payments land in the club's own account, with the club's name on the parent's statement.
The registrar sees it all
Who's registered, who still owes, who paid cash on Tuesday. Reminders go out on a schedule you set — nobody chases anyone on WhatsApp.
Here's what a club site looks like.
Ashbrook Celtic FC is our demo club — the club is made up, the product isn't. Every page, fixture, match report and registration form is exactly what your club would get, in your colours.
Mobile first
Most parents open it on a phone at a pitch with one bar of signal. It's built for that.
Fast
No page builders, no plugins, no bloat. Just the club, loading in under a second.
Yours
Your name, your crest, your colours, your domain. Nobody else's branding on it.
Everything a club runs, switched on a piece at a time.
Every club starts with the core. Add-ons are switched on when you want them, and off again if you don't — nothing gets deleted.

For context
That's less than one training session's pitch hire a month, for a site the whole club uses every week. Most clubs cover it with a single sponsor logo in the footer.
A person, not a platform.
I'm Aaron Lumsden, a developer who builds websites for grassroots football clubs. ClubPress started because every club site I looked at was either abandoned or a chore, and neither had to be true.
When you email, you get me. When something needs fixing, I fix it. ClubPress is run by Rendella Media Ltd, a small web studio, which is who your invoice will say.
aaron@clubpress.appThe things a club secretary asks.
Anything else, just email. I answer everything myself.
Can we update it ourselves?
Yes, easily. Every club gets an admin area that works on a phone. Post news, add a team, upload a document, change a sponsor logo. And if you'd rather not, email me and I'll do it.
What happens to our current content?
We move it all across as part of setup: pages, news you want to keep, team lists, sponsors, policies. You don't retype anything.
Do we own it? What if we want to leave?
Your domain, your crest, your content and your data are yours, always. If you leave, we hand over an export of everything and point your domain wherever you like. No lock-in, no exit fee, no hard feelings.
How long does it take?
About two weeks from you sending us the bits to the site being live. Faster if you're quick with feedback.
Is our data safe? What about GDPR?
Everything is served over HTTPS, backed up daily and hosted in London. Your club is the data controller and ClubPress is the processor, so there's a plain-English data processing agreement your club accepts on first sign-in, a privacy notice template for your site, a registrar screen to export or erase a family's details when they ask, and a retention schedule applied automatically. We never sell or share member data.
Can we take registrations and payments?
Registration is included, with card payment through the club's own Stripe account (Stripe's card fee plus 2% to ClubPress per payment; cash at the club costs nothing). Parents register every child in one go, pay in full or in monthly instalments, or choose to pay at the club. The registrar sees who has paid, records cash, and unpaid households get automatic reminders. Payments for kit and merchandise come with the club shop add-on.
Does this replace the league's own registration?
No. Player registration still happens through your county FA the way it always has, and your league still runs the fixtures. ClubPress handles your side of it — the fees, the parents, the forms, and knowing who has actually paid.
Where do the fixtures come from?
FA Full-Time — the same system your league already runs results through. At launch you copy a short code out of your Full-Time login and we put it on your site; after that the table updates itself all season. Teams in more than one league get a table each, because the FA's code can't merge them. If your Full-Time login doesn't show what we need, your league grants it — we'll write that email for you. How to put your league's fixtures on your site.
Who gets the money from the shop?
The club does, directly. The shop runs on your own Stripe account, so card payments land in the club's bank account and the club's name is on the parent's statement. ClubPress takes a small percentage per order, stated up front; Stripe charges its usual card fee. Refunds are a button in your admin.
What about photos of the kids?
The gallery reminds whoever is uploading to check consent every time, resizes photos for the web and doesn't keep the originals. Albums stay hidden until you publish them, and unpublished ones are only visible to club admins.
What about our Facebook and Instagram?
Keep them. ClubPress posts results and reports to them for you, so the site and the socials say the same thing without anyone doing it twice.
See what your club's site could look like.
Fill this in and I'll send back a mockup of your homepage in your crest and colours, usually within a couple of days. Free, no obligation, and no account to create.
