Club Landing Page & Custom Domain: How SquadDeck Gives Your Sports Club a Professional Online Identity
In today’s digital-first world, a sports club without a professional online presence is like a team without a home ground. Whether you manage a basketball academy, a football club, or a netball association, your website is often the first impression you make on prospective players, parents, and sponsors.
But building a website from scratch can be expensive, time-consuming, and technically overwhelming — especially for club administrators who already have enough on their plate.
That is exactly why SquadDeck includes a fully customizable Club Landing Page and Custom Domain feature as part of its all-in-one sports management platform. From a ready-made homepage to unlimited sub-pages and your very own branded domain — SquadDeck gives every sports club the online identity it deserves, without the complexity.
What Is the Club Landing Page Feature?
The Club Landing Page is a professionally designed, ready-to-use website that comes included with every SquadDeck account — even on the free plan.
Unlike generic website builders that require you to start from a blank canvas, SquadDeck provides a pre-built homepage template that is specifically designed for sports organizations. This means your club can go live online within minutes of registering.
Key Highlights:
Ready-made homepage template — no design experience required- Fully customizable — tailor every section to reflect your club’s identity
- Sub-pages included — add as many pages as your club needs
- Mobile responsive — looks great on any device
- Integrated with your club data — player profiles, team info, events, and news display automatically
The landing page is not just a static brochure. It is a living, dynamic website that stays up to date as you manage your club through the SquadDeck dashboard.
What Can You Customize on Your Club Website?
SquadDeck gives administrators full control over the content and appearance of their club website through an intuitive dashboard. Here is what you can customize:
1. Homepage Slider
Add engaging banner images, headlines, short descriptions, and call-to-action buttons to your homepage. The slider allows you to highlight upcoming events, recruitment drives, or key announcements directly on your homepage. Navigate to Website > Website Settings > Slider > Add New to get started.
2. About Page
Tell your club’s story. Add a title, a detailed description of your organization, and an image that represents your brand. This is where prospective members learn about your mission, vision, and history. Access it via Website > Website Settings > Website Info.
3. Gallery
Showcase your club’s best moments with a photo gallery. Upload images with titles and descriptions to give visitors an authentic look at your culture and community. Go to Website > Website Settings > Gallery > Add New.
4. News Section
Keep your members and the public informed with a dedicated news section. Publish updates, match reports, announcements, and feature articles — complete with categories, tags, featured images, and SEO settings. Found under Website > News > Add News.
5. Notices
Post important announcements directly on your website with publishing and expiry dates. This is ideal for time-sensitive information such as training cancellations, fee reminders, or registration deadlines.
6. Team & Player Page
One of the most valuable features of your SquadDeck-powered website is the ability to publicly display your club’s complete team and player information — all in one place, without any manual updates.
Every player and team that you manage through the SquadDeck admin dashboard is automatically reflected on your public-facing website. Visitors can browse through your club’s full roster, view individual player profiles, and explore team-specific information with ease. This is particularly useful for:
- Parents and guardians who want to follow their child’s team
- Prospective players looking to understand your club’s structure before joining
- Sponsors who wish to review the scale and depth of your club
Because the player and team data is pulled directly from your SquadDeck dashboard, all information remains accurate and up to date at all times — eliminating the need to manually edit your website every time a new player registers or a team roster changes.
7. E-Commerce & Shop Page
SquadDeck empowers your club to generate additional revenue through a fully integrated online shop — accessible directly from your club website.
Through the SquadDeck platform, administrators can add products such as club jerseys, training gear, accessories, and merchandise with complete ease. Each product listing supports key details including title, description, pricing, stock quantity, VAT, available sizes, and colour options — ensuring a professional and informative shopping experience for your visitors.
Once published, these products appear instantly on your website’s dedicated Shop page, where any visitor can browse and purchase items without friction. The platform handles the entire transaction process, including:
- Secure payment processing via Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, bKash, Nagad, and more
- Order management with real-time status tracking (Processing, Confirmed, Delivered, Cancelled)
- Inventory control with low-stock alerts and stock quantity management
- Invoice generation for every completed transaction
All orders and payment records are centrally managed through the SquadDeck dashboard under Website > E-commerce > Order Lists, giving administrators complete visibility and control over their club’s commerce operations — all without requiring a separate payment platform or third-party integration.
8. Events & Seasonal Game Page
Your club’s website can serve as the central hub for all event and scheduling information, keeping members, parents, and the wider community fully informed throughout the season.
Through SquadDeck, administrators can display the following directly on the club website:
Seasonal Games: All seasonal game details — including event name, venue, date, fees, and description — are published on your website automatically. Members can view upcoming fixtures, check locations, and stay informed about the full seasonal calendar without needing to contact the club directly.
Training Schedules: Training sessions are managed and published separately, allowing members to view their team’s training timetable, venue details, and session timings from the website at any time.
Game Schedules: Individual game schedules for each team are displayed with full details including the opposing team, match location, date, and current status — keeping players and parents organised and informed.
Event Registration & Fee Collection: Perhaps most powerfully, SquadDeck allows administrators to create custom registration forms for specific events and seasonal games. Clubs can define participation fees, set visibility (all members or specific teams), and manage the entire registration process online. Members can register and pay their fees directly through the website, eliminating the administrative burden of manual enrolment and cash handling.
This end-to-end event management capability — from publishing schedules to collecting registration fees — is fully integrated into your club website, making it a genuinely useful resource for every stakeholder in your organisation.
9. Sub-Pages
SquadDeck allows you to create as many sub-pages as your club requires. Whether you need a dedicated page for each team, a sponsorship page, or a community support section — the flexibility is entirely yours.
What Is the Custom Domain Feature?
Every SquadDeck account comes with a free sub-domain by default (e.g., yourclub.squaddeck.app). While this is perfectly functional for getting started, a custom domain (e.g., www.yourclubname.com) adds a significant level of professionalism and brand credibility.
The Custom Domain feature in SquadDeck allows you to connect your existing domain — or purchase a new one — directly through the platform.
How to Set Up Your Custom Domain
Setting up your custom domain through SquadDeck is a straightforward process:
- Navigate to Settings > Club or Team Settings > Domain & DNS Management
- You will see your current sub-domain listed
- Choose one of two options:
Option A — Purchase a New Domain:
If you do not yet have a domain, click “Purchase a New One” and select your preferred domain name directly within SquadDeck.
Option B — Configure Your Own Domain:
If you already own a domain, click “Configure Your Own Domain”, enter your domain name, and press Add. You will then need to update your NS (Nameserver) Records at your domain provider with the following:
- ns1.digitalocean.com
- ns2.digitalocean.com
- ns3.digitalocean.com
Once updated, return to SquadDeck and verify your domain. Please note that DNS propagation can take up to 72 hours to fully complete across the internet.
Why Does a Custom Domain Matter for Your Sports Club?
A custom domain is more than just a web address. It is a core component of your club’s brand identity. Here is why it matters:
✅ Professional Credibility
A branded domain like www.abc.com immediately signals that your club is serious and well-organized — to players, parents, sponsors, and the wider community.
✅ Improved SEO Performance
Search engines favour websites with their own domains. A custom domain improves your club’s visibility in local search results, making it easier for prospective members to find you online when searching for sports clubs in your area.
✅ Brand Consistency
Having a unified domain that matches your club name creates consistency across all communications — emails, social media, printed materials, and your website.
✅ Sponsor Appeal
Sponsors evaluate clubs on their professionalism. A polished website with a custom domain demonstrates that your club takes its public image seriously — a compelling factor when approaching potential sponsors.
Website Visibility Control
SquadDeck also provides a powerful Website Visibility feature that gives administrators complete control over public access to the club website.
Navigate to Website > Website Settings > Website Visibility to toggle your site between:
- Enabled (Default): All pages are publicly accessible
- Disabled: Public pages redirect to the login page; only login, register, and dashboard sub-domains remain accessible
This feature is particularly valuable during website maintenance, pre-launch testing, or when operating a members-only access model.
Everything in One Platform
What makes SquadDeck’s landing page and custom domain feature truly powerful is its seamless integration with the rest of the platform. Your club website does not exist in isolation — it is directly connected to:
- Player and guardian profiles
- Team rosters and management
- Event schedules and seasonal games
- E-commerce store for club merchandise
- Sponsorship listings
- News and notice boards
Every update you make in the SquadDeck dashboard is automatically reflected on your public-facing website. There is no need to manage a separate content management system or hire a web developer to keep your site current.
