Total Golf Club web design project overview

The Total Golf Club website contains a vast amount of member functionality and this can be syndicated to organisations so that they can create their own membership programmes. We designed the structure and modular elements to enable the site to be repurposed for potential clients.

Technology overview

PHP, HTML, Flash, SEO

What happened:

Total Golf Club provide a 'virtual' golf club for people who want to play golf but do not have a membership with a 'traditional’ club. The site was due for a major overhaul. New member functions were to be added including: member search, course searches, profile management, RSS, adverts and a host of goodies. The old site's structure couldn't accommodate the growth. Our task was to redesign the site and make it flexible enough for ongoing growth, amongst other things.

Why it was good:

Our brief was to avoid making the site look like every other golf site on the planet. The site will be syndicated to other organisations so that they can build their own golf communities. We devised a modular, panel based system, based largely on 'live' text. We created a Flask masthead and map search interface that looks good as well as actually working.

What happened next:

We handed over the HTML, CSS and associated files to their in-house development team. They implemented our code and we performed a quality check. The site went live and continues to be developed. Occasionally we are asked to provide additional elements, but this is rare as they have all they need to develop the site themselves. Instead, we have gone onto to design templates for organisations like The Times, who will be taking on the Total Golf Club Model.
