Altosoft Bridge Club Web Sites

 

Altosoft develops and hosts web sites for bridge clubs.

Each site follows a basic template, but looks different from other club web sites. The scheenshots at right are from two separate club sites, but are built from the same template.

Also, each site can have its own unique domain name that can be transferred to another host if necessary.

Initial pages in the template are (all optional):

• Home page (including Latest News)
• Sessions
• Lessons
• Calendar
• Contact
• Coming Events
• Results

There is also some limited ability to have additional sections.

Clubs can manage certain parts of the site themselves, via a password-protected page, specifically Latest News (on the front page), and selected parts of the Contact page.

For results display, we presently support scoring programs Compscore, Compscore2 and RapScore. There is also a generic facility that uploads text files of results.

The Calendar and Coming Events are based on the Queensland Bridge Association calendar which is updated every year. Clubs can advise us of other events that should also appear in the calendar. (Self-management of this aspect is in development.) Coming events automatically appear on the Coming Events page 90 days prior and 3 days after the event date. Coming events also automatically appear in the Latest News secion on the front page.

Any calendar events can also be added to the Congress Management part of the web site. Through the use of a passworded page, the Congress Convenor can list entries as received. This list is available to all web visitors, and can also be used by the event director.

Cost: There is a setup fee of $330 (including GST), and an ongoing hosting and management fee of $22 per month. The setup fee includes development of your site within our loose template, though you have full editorial control over the content.
