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 screenshots at right are from two separate club sites, but are built from the same template.

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 most parts of the site themselves, via a password-protected Management page. Editable parts of the site are: front page content, Latest News column on the front page, Contacts, Sessions and Lessons.

The Calendar consists of standard events pre-loaded by Altosoft (typically QBA events), and clubs can add their own private events and remove standard events if they wish.

Events can be copied from the calendar to the Coming Events list, amd they automatically appear on the Coming Events page and front page News as the event approaches.

Further, the web site's Congress Management side can be used for any event, allowing clubs to enter and display congress entries.

For the Results display, we presently support scoring programs Compscore, Compscore2 and RapScore. There is also a generic facility that uploads text files of results. Results from Compscore2 are very detailed, allowing visitors to look at board or pair results in detail, and there is also the ability to display the hand itself.

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.
