One platform for a clubrun out of a Facebook group.

A full member portal for a regional RC hobby club (member accounts, forum, classifieds, event calendar, galleries, downloads, and billing), replacing a Facebook group and a spreadsheet roster.

The situation

A club running on three side-channels.

The club was being run out of a Facebook group, a Google Sheet, and three email threads. Membership renewals were manual. Event RSVPs were lost in comments. New members couldn't find anything.

They needed a real platform, but one volunteers could maintain without becoming sysadmins.

What we built

A platform built for volunteer maintainers.

01

Member portal

Auth, profiles, classifieds, and a club roster volunteers can update without touching code.

02

Events & galleries

Race calendar with RSVPs, photo galleries per event, and a public-facing front page that showcases the club.

Scope delivered

  • Member accounts
  • Discussion forum
  • Classifieds
  • Event calendar
  • Photo galleries
  • Club downloads
  • Email notifications
  • Membership billing

Results

Built for a club, used by its members.

72Member accounts on the portal

Member accounts in the club’s sign-in system, counted on 15 October 2026.

“We needed a complete web platform for our RC club with about 100 members. It includes member login area where members can access club related documents securely, an editable events calendar, a classifieds section, a photo gallery, and an admin area… It's really more of a web app than just a basic website.”
