Club Website Re-Design & Training Program

Rotary is a vibrant organization with exceptional people working to build strong communities. Unfortunately, many of the club websites in our district don’t reflect this truth.  An appealing,  well-organized website is key to attracting new members and supporting ongoing fundraising programs.
 
In an effort to make it easy for clubs in D7010 to improve their website, the District Communications/Public Image Committee has identified a web designer, Melissa Wells, with vast experience with ClubRunner. We’ve negotiated a flat fee for our clubs to work one-on-one with Melissa to overhaul their website so that it delivers a strong visual impact, ease of access to key information and consistent Rotary branding on the homepage.
 
Melissa Wells is a member of the Welland Rotary Club and has worked with over 78 clubs in Districts 7010, 7070 and 7090 to re-design their websites!  In fact, her efforts were recognized in Fall 2021 through a Zone 32 Public Image Award given to District 7090 for spearheading the re-design project.
 
The cost to redesign your website is just $300+HST. Be one of the first 8 clubs in our district to sign up in 2023-2024 AND we will cover the cost!
 
Clubs wishing to participate are asked to complete the short intake form (below). Melissa will work with each participating club on a first come, first served basis.
 
Following a Zoom kick-off meeting with your club, Melissa will complete the re-design work and you will immediately see the fresh new results to your Club's website. Part of the website re-design is to ensure your Club website works on mobile devices and is integrated with your social media accounts, as well as reflect the unique personality of your Club.
 

A follow-up, 1 hour Zoom training call with be conducted for each club in the program to teach you how to use the ClubRunner content management system. This call with be recorded for your later review.

Should you have any questions, please email contact@exnihilodesigns.com. If you do not have a website or have a website on a different platform, please contact Melissa directly to discuss options.
