The Seaton Valley RC Club needed a modern website to serve their members and make club management easier for volunteers.
Members had no way to log in, view exclusive content, or manage their profiles. Everything was done manually through email and spreadsheets.
Members wanted to buy and sell model planes but had no platform. They relied on Facebook groups and email chains which was disorganized.
Club event photos were spread across personal drives and social media. There was no central place to browse and share memories.
The old site was hard to update. Volunteers needed technical skills to post news or make changes, so content went stale.
We built a custom Laravel application tailored to the club's needs—easy to manage and rock solid.
Secure member login with profile management. Members can update their info, view exclusive content, and access member-only areas.
Members can post planes for sale with photos, descriptions, and pricing. Other members can browse, search, and contact sellers directly.
Organized galleries for club events, member builds, and flying days. Easy uploads and automatic thumbnail generation.
Non-technical volunteers can easily post news, manage members, and moderate classifieds. No coding required.
The new platform transformed how the club operates and engages with members.

The application has been running since launch with zero issues. Proper error handling, database backups, and clean code mean the club can rely on it without worrying about technical problems.
The photo galleries use a custom-built system that lazy-loads images as users scroll, preloads adjacent images for smooth navigation, and adapts to screen size for optimal viewing on any device. Perfect for browsing flying day photos and member builds.
