I have decided to pursue my passion. Sports. As such, for the last several months I've been planning, organizing, designing and basically building what I hope to be a successful adult sports league organization in the Tampa Bay area. I have a web developer that is a very nice guy and gives a very good price. He also comes highly recommended by a good friend of mine. He is also the guy who designed my logo and business cards/advertisement flyers. That said, he's a bit on the slow side when it comes to updating the website. I'm learning my way around it, but there are quite a few major things that are giving me hiccups. For what its worth, it is based off of Joomla, which I have absolutely no experience with and am learning as I go.
That said, let me state a few of the things I'm unhappy with and am looking to have changed and then you guys can chime in with things you think could be fixed. But please, be gentle. I know its not perfect. Problem is, it has to do for now and I can make it better over the coming weeks/months.
1. The tabs on the top aren't exactly organized in the fashion I want. I want to have the registration tab on the main menu and have selecting of leagues look cleaner.
2. The twitter widget on the side of the main page looks ghetto. I'm working on getting something MUCH nicer.
3. On the contact page it is very plain and doesn't exactly display all the information I want. Working on that one. On a related note, I do not have a physical office. Clearly I don't want to list my home address as our business address. I have been contemplating getting a PO Box or going all out and getting one of those UPS store physical addresses. Thoughts on that subject?
4. The forums are not the right color scheme.
5. The images on the main page are, essentially, clip art. Unfortunately I do not have any images of my own, yet. Once I do, those will certainly change.
6. The soccer/softball sections are WAY to plain. I want to put some more detailed information in there with the ability to click a 'subscribe' button to be alerted when more leagues become available. (I am hopefully going to be offering both soccer/softball within the next two months).
There are a lot of other little things that I want to fix. But my main concern right now is professionalism. If you were in the market for joining an adult league, went to my site and had a glance around. Would you be willing to give me your money, or would you look at the site and think 'untrustworthy'. If the latter, why?
Oh and if anyone wants to register and post some stuff on the forums, feel free! It'd be nice if the place didn't seem like such a ghost town. It might make people more trusting of the site in general.
Thanks in advance ATOT, I love you guys!!!
