Club Website

Every club on a paid plan can switch on its own website at <address>.targetscore.com. You build the pages yourself in a drag-and-drop editor, with your upcoming events, results and a contact form built in. Visitors can sign in and register for your events without ever leaving your site, and you can show it on your own domain too.

The club website needs a Pro plan or above; see Plans & Billing.

Where to Find It

Open Manage Club > Club Website. The page has five tabs:

• Site & domain: your site address and, below it, your own domain.
• Pages: the pages on your site and the editor for each.
• Navigation & footer: the menu and the footer.
• Theme: the colours of your site.
• Media: the images you use on your pages.

Choose Your Site Address

1. On the Site & domain tab, type the address you want. Lower-case letters, numbers and hyphens only, for example riverside-rifle.
2. Availability is checked as you type; wait until the address shows as available before saving.
3. Save. Your site is live at <address>.targetscore.com, with the Home page created for you.

tip

Pick something short and easy to say out loud; it is the address you will print on flyers and share with members.

Pages

Your site always has a Home page. It is created for you with a welcome banner and your upcoming events, and it cannot be deleted. Everything else is up to you.

Add a Page

1. On the Pages tab, click New page.
2. Give it a title and an address, the last part of the page's web address, such as about, range or contact. Some words are reserved by the site itself (events, results, membership, login, signup and a few others) and cannot be used.
3. Click Create. The page opens in the editor.

Draft and Published Copies

Each page has two copies: a draft that only you see and a published copy that visitors see.

• Save draft keeps your edits private. Visitors go on seeing the published copy.
• Publish makes the current draft what visitors see.
• Unpublish takes the page off the site but keeps it, draft included, so you can bring it back.
• Delete removes the page for good.

If someone else at the club edits the same page while you have it open, you are asked to reload before you can save, so neither of you overwrites the other.

Menu Settings

Each page can be hidden from the menu (it still opens by its address, handy for a page you link to from a button) and given a shorter menu label when its title is too long to fit. The order of the menu, and which pages open a drop-down, are arranged on the Navigation & footer tab.

Editing a Page

Open a page from the Pages tab. The editor has three areas: the blocks you can add on the left, the page itself in the middle, and the settings of whatever you have selected on the right.

• Add a block: drag it from the left and drop it where you want it on the page.
• Edit a block: click it, then change its settings on the right.
• Reorder: drag a block up or down.
• Undo / redo sit in the toolbar.

When you are happy, Save draft or Publish with the buttons above the editor. The page's title, address and Show in menu setting sit there too and are saved with it.

Layout of a Block

Every block has a Layout group at the bottom of its panel: the space above and below it, the padding inside it, a background colour, a border (width, colour and rounded corners) and Hide on the site. Leave a colour empty to keep the theme's. A hidden block stays on the page in the editor, greyed out and labelled, but visitors never see it. Handy for a notice you want to switch on and off without rebuilding it.

Blocks

• Banner: a large image with a title, a subtitle and a button.
• Text: rich text with headings, bold, lists and links.
• Image: one picture from your media library, with its width, alignment and the space around it, optionally linked.
• Image slider: up to 12 images with captions and optional autoplay. Show one at a time as a wide banner, or set Images shown at a time to 2–6 for a row of cards (phones always show one).
• Gallery: a grid of up to 24 images. Visitors click an image to see it full size and step through the others with the arrows.
• Map: a map of an address you type, such as the range. No account or key is needed.
• Columns: two, three or four side-by-side areas you drop other blocks into. Four become two on a tablet and one on a phone.
• Buttons: up to 4 links styled as buttons.
• Upcoming events: your live event list, the same as the site's Events page.
• Results: your past events with scores.
• Contact form: name, email, phone and message, delivered to your contact email; see Contact Form.
• Embed: a YouTube video or a Google Maps embed link. Other sites cannot be embedded.
• Become a member: the Team Up Mate membership widget. Needs the Team Up Mate integration.
• Spacer: empty space between blocks.

Navigation & Footer

The Navigation & footer tab controls what surrounds your pages.

Menu

The Menu panel lists every menu item in one place: your pages, the built-in Events, Results and Become a member items, and any links to other sites.

1. Drag an item by its handle to change the order.
2. Drop an item under a page to put it in that page's drop-down. A page with a drop-down still opens when visitors click its name; the arrow beside it opens the list. One level is supported, so a drop-down cannot hold another drop-down.
3. Add heading creates a drop-down that has no page of its own, such as "About" or "Club". Give it a name, then drag pages or links under it. Visitors click the heading to open the list; it does not go anywhere itself. A heading with nothing under it is not shown on the site, and removing a heading moves its items back to the top row.
4. Use the eye to hide an item without removing it, and type in the box to give it a different label.
5. Add external link adds a link to another site, such as your association or an online store. These can sit in a drop-down too.
6. Click Save.

The front page, the built-in items and headings always stay in the top row; a lock on the row says so, and the drop areas explain it while you drag. Become a member only appears once the club is connected to Team Up Mate. A page that is still a draft is marked as such and appears in the menu once it is published.

Footer

Your contact email, phone, address, and Facebook, Instagram and website links. The email defaults to the club's email and is also where contact-form messages are delivered, unless a form names its own address (see below).

"Powered by Target Score" stays in the footer on every plan.

Theme

The Theme tab sets how your whole website looks: the header and menu, every block, the built-in Events and Results pages, and the footer.

1. Pick a header layout:

   • Logo left, menu beside it: one row, the classic arrangement.
   • Logo centred, menu below: the logo and club name in the middle, with the menu on a full-width row underneath.
   • Logo left, menu below: the logo on the left, with the menu on its own row underneath.

   On phones and tablets every layout shows the logo with a menu button, so the choice only shapes wide screens.

2. Pick one of the colour schemes to start from.

3. Adjust any of the four colours, with the picker or by typing a hex code such as #1F3A5F:

   • Primary colour: buttons, links and the active menu item.
   • Secondary colour: headings and accents. A Buttons block can also use it, with the Secondary style.
   • Background and Text: the page itself.

4. Choose a font for headings and one for text. Any font other than the default is loaded from Google Fonts when a visitor opens your site.

5. Check the preview, then Save. The page editor shows your pages in the same layout, colours and fonts.

tip

A light background with dark text is the easiest to read, and is what the built-in pages are designed for.

Media

Upload the images you want to use in your pages on the Media tab, then pick them from there when you set up a Banner, Gallery or Image slider.

• Images can be JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB each.
• Deleting an image that a page still uses leaves a blank spot on that page. Replace it in the editor before you delete it.

Contact Form

Drop a Contact form block onto any page and visitors can write to you without knowing your address. Each message asks for a name, email, phone and message, and is delivered with the visitor's address as the reply-to, so you answer with a normal reply.

Where messages go: to the form's own Send messages to address when you set one in the block's panel (useful when a page's form should reach a committee or a different inbox), otherwise to the footer's contact email, otherwise to the club's email.

Spam protection is built in and needs no setup: every submission is checked by reCAPTCHA, a hidden field catches automated form fillers, and a visitor can send at most five messages an hour. Messages that fail these checks are dropped without reaching you.

Signing In on Your Site

Visitors can sign in and create accounts directly on your club website. The Login and Sign up buttons stay on your site, so registering for an event never leaves it. Signing in with Google or Facebook, or with an emailed link, may briefly pass through targetscore.com and come straight back.

note

Each website keeps its own sign-in. Someone already signed in on targetscore.com is asked to sign in again the first time they visit your club website. Password-reset emails always open on targetscore.com.

Search Engines

Your website is built for search engines: every page is delivered as a complete web page, so Google, Bing and link previews (Facebook, WhatsApp, iMessage) see your text, pictures and events.

• A page's title in search results is its page title followed by your club's name; the Home page uses the club's name alone.
• The description under it is the subtitle of the page's first banner block, or else the first lines of the first text block — so put a short, telling sentence there.
• The preview picture is the banner's image, else the first picture on the page, else your club logo.
• Event pages carry structured event data (name, dates, venue, organiser), the kind search engines show as rich results.
• Your site publishes a sitemap.xml and robots.txt automatically; nothing to set up. Search engines usually pick up a new or changed page within a few days.
• Once a custom domain is active, search engines are told to prefer it over your <address>.targetscore.com address, so your own domain is what people find.
• The sign-in, registration, entry and results pages are part of the Target Score app and are not meant to be indexed; your content pages are.

tip

The Google Search Console lets you check how Google sees any page of your site (URL inspection → Test live URL) and ask for a re-crawl after a big change.

Using Your Own Domain

Your site can also live on a domain you own, such as www.yourclub.ca, with HTTPS set up for you. Add it under Custom domain on the Site & domain tab and point a DNS record at Target Score; the steps and what each status means are on Custom Domain.

Things to Know

• The site needs a Pro plan or above. If the plan ends, the website (and a custom domain) goes offline, but the address, pages, media and domain are all kept and come back as soon as the club is on a paid plan again. The editor still opens meanwhile, so nothing is lost.
• The Upcoming events and Results blocks show the same events as the site's built-in Events and Results pages, so there is nothing to keep in sync.
• Reserved page addresses are taken by the site's own pages (events, results, membership, login, signup, …); pick another address if yours is refused.
• If you already show events on a WordPress site, the WordPress Plugin keeps working alongside the club website.
