No technical skills are required. PlayHQ Websites uses an intuitive drag-and-drop editor that anyone can use, regardless of technical background. We've designed it specifically for volunteers who are managing their clubs alongside full-time jobs, and you'll have access to help guides and video tutorials.

Absolutely. You have complete flexibility to incorporate your club colors, branding, and themes. Your club logo will be automatically synced, choose color schemes that match your brand, customise layouts using our drag-and-drop editor, and add custom images and content yourself or with the help of AI. Our templates provide a professional starting point, but you can customise them as much as you want to make your website uniquely yours.

No hidden costs. The setup is included in your subscription. For our standard club websites, there are no additional fees beyond the annual price. Your subscription includes ongoing platform updates and new features, and access to all standard templates and widgets. The only additional cost would be if you choose to purchase a custom domain name for your website, which is optional.

Yes. PlayHQ Websites seamlessly integrates with your existing PlayHQ ecosystem. The key integrations include fixtures, ladders, and results that update automatically from PlayHQ, registration forms linked directly to your PlayHQ registrations, your PlayHQ Shop for merchandise, and news and posts published through PlayHQ.

Players and members can access registration and make payments through embedded registration widgets on your website. While they won't log into accounts directly on the website itself, they'll be seamlessly directed to their PlayHQ registration portal, maintaining a smooth experience. All payment processing happens securely through PlayHQ's existing payment infrastructure, and members can view their registration status and make payments for registrations, merchandise, and other fees through PlayHQ.

Your website displays competition information including fixtures, ladders, and results through our specialised widgets. This data automatically syncs from your PlayHQ competition management, eliminating manual updates. However, the actual management of draws, ladders, and competition administration still happens in your PlayHQ admin portal. The website serves as the public-facing display for your members and fans, while PlayHQ remains your competition management hub.

You'll have multiple support options. You'll have access to comprehensive help documentation and video tutorials, email support for technical questions, and webinars and training sessions to help you get the most from your website.

Yes. Any admin in your PlayHQ organisation can access and edit the website using their existing PlayHQ credentials through single sign-on. There's no need to share passwords or create separate accounts. You can have as many admins as needed, making it easy to share website management responsibilities among your committee members.

You have several options if you already have a website. You can run both websites simultaneously during a transition period, migrate your existing content to your new PlayHQ Website with the help of the AI website scraper, or redirect your current domain to your new PlayHQ Website. Many clubs find that the automatic data integration and reduced maintenance make the transition worthwhile, even if they're happy with their current site.

Yes, all PlayHQ Websites are mobile-first and fully responsive. They automatically adapt to look great on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. Given that most of your members will access your website on their phones, this was a core design priority for us.

Yes, this is one of the biggest time-savers. Once your website is connected to your PlayHQ competition data, fixtures, ladders, and results update in real-time with no manual intervention required. When you enter scores in PlayHQ, they immediately appear on your website. This eliminates the hours volunteers typically spend manually updating websites after each round of matches.

Yes, you can connect your existing domain name to your PlayHQ Website, or you can purchase a new custom domain during your onboarding call. Using a custom domain requires a credit card for the domain registration fee, which is separate from your PlayHQ Websites subscription. If you prefer, you can also use a free PlayHQ subdomain initially (clubname.playhq-sites.com) and add a custom domain later.

No. PlayHQ Websites operates on a flexible yearly subscription with no lock-in contracts. You're never locked in and can cancel at any time through your admin portal.

If you cancel your subscription, your website will be taken offline and the content will be archived. After cancellation, you would need to resubscribe to regain access to your website.

We offer two purpose-built templates designed specifically for sports organisations. The Club Template focuses on team pages, news, registration calls-to-action, and shop links. The League and Association Template prioritises fixtures, ladders, results, and announcements.
