Lang LangCricket Club
A club that lives on its website.
01The club
It’s not all stats and titles.
Lang Lang Cricket Club had a 2019 Wix site and a Facebook page doing all the talking. We rebuilt it as the centre of the club: fixtures from PlayHQ with every team matched to its club logo, events people can RSVP and pay for, notices in one place, a profile for every player, past and present, and a home for the stories that make Lang Lang what it is.
The committee didn’t want a brochure. They wanted the club itself to revolve around the website: the place you check before Saturday, RSVP for the presentation night, and come back to years later to find your name.
So the brief became a community platform. Keep the fixtures honest by pulling them from PlayHQ. Make events something you can act on. And give every player, past and present, a digital footprint, including the stories that never make a scorecard.
02Before and now
From a brochure to a clubhouse.
Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.
Before · 2019 Wix site
Five static pages, a crest and a long paragraph. For anything current, the site pointed people to Facebook.
Now · langlangcricketclub.com
The club’s front door: what’s on this week, the next match, and who to talk to.
03What we built
Everything the club does, in one place.
In the order the club cares about most.
02 / 05
Every team matched to its club.
Every Lang Lang side and every opponent in the PlayHQ data is matched to the right club, and to that club’s logo, so fixtures, ladders and match pages name the right club without anyone hunting for images or retyping names.
03 / 05
Events you can RSVP and pay for.
Training nights, launch nights and presentation dinners each get a page with a live headcount. Members RSVP in a tap, pre-book meals and pay through the event’s payment link, and can add their photos afterwards.
04 / 05
Every notice, in one place.
Change of time, working bees, game week. Announcements post once and surface across the site, from the banner on the home page to the Clubhouse archive.
05 / 05
Players, present and past.
