Top Five Ingredients for a Useful Event Website

• News Feature/ Blog

• Photo Gallery

• Online Registration

• Correct Contact Information

• Sponsorship Presence

News Feature/Blog

• Most websites include a news section and/or a blog that informs visitors about what is going on within their organization or events

• This is a great way to tell people that are interested in participating in your event what they need to know for the competition

• This could include updates or changes that occur before the day of the event

• It is also a good place to post any media coverage of the event

Photo Gallery• Photo galleries are great to have,

especially after your event has taken place

• Photos of the event can be uploaded onto your website and can be viewed by event participants

• People can also view photos of past events ad view what has taken place in previous years

Online Registration

• Online registration is a convenient way for participants to sign up for your event

• Instead of filling out paperwork and mailing it in, people can simply type in their information and pay online

• Compete-At’s Event Management software makes this simple for organizers and athletes

• Convenience is crucial for people. The more convenient registration is for people, the more people will be interested in participating

Correct Contact Information

• If your potential competitors have questions about your event or organization and they cannot contact you, this presents a problem

• It is important to have someone in charge of answering e-mails and phone calls

• Make sure to have up to date contact information

Sponsorship Presence

• A great way to advertise your sponsors is on your event website

• It is easy to add a logo and a link to their website

• Typically sponsors will either pay you or exchange their services or products for presence on your website
