About this demo
A working preview of what the association's website could be — built so the board can click through it rather than imagine it.
Try these, in this order
1
The schedule
Our real PeeWee season — nine games — generated from the team's own calendar rather than typed in, so it can't go stale.
2
A parent's account
Their players, what's coming up, and the forms to sign — ticked once instead of paper going missing.
3
Register a player
Five steps, about three minutes, ending with the player on the roster.
4
The board's view
Registrations, documents, meetings, the financial summary — and the one that matters: one-button roster export for Football Alberta.
5
Change the text yourself
Sign in as a board member and use the content editor to rewrite a headline or swap in a team photo. No code, no developer, no waiting on one person.
6
The honest part
Open About and look at “Our records”, then the Members panel in the board area. Both are empty — not left blank to make a point, but because there is nothing to put in them.
What's real, and what isn't
Real
- The PeeWee schedule — every game and practice in the 2026 season
- The registration fees, sponsorship levels and safety record
- The pages themselves, working, on any phone or computer
- The roster export — it downloads a genuine CSV file
Simulated
- The sign-in. It creates no account and sends nothing. It is not security.
- All players. Every one is labelled “Sample” on purpose.
- Payments. No card step, no money, deliberately.
- Your edits are saved in your own browser only.
What the real version would add
Proper sign-in
The association's own accounts, with Google sign-in in front — so no password lives in the website and children's information sits behind real access control.
Real payments
Card payments through a hosted checkout, straight into an association bank account — with no card details ever stored on the site.
Records that stay put
Two or three people able to get in, everything documented, so the site survives any one volunteer — including whoever builds it.
What it costs, honestly
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Hosting | Free |
| Domain name | About $11 a year |
| Card processing | About 2.9% per registration — against roughly 10% now |
| Football Alberta membership | Unchanged — owed either way |
| Someone's time | The real cost, and the one to design against |
Where things stand
This is a preview
It sits on a preview address. Nothing has been changed, published or paid for, and the existing site is untouched.
