Websites for gun and shooting clubs

Club websites that bring newcomers to the range.

I rebuild websites for clay target, pistol, rifle and field clubs across Australia and New Zealand, so people can find you on their phone, understand licensing, and book a Have-a-Go.

Recent work

NSW Gun Club, est. 1880

The New South Wales Gun Club in Terrey Hills, Sydney, is the oldest gun club in NSW. I rebuilt its website in 2026.

The NSW Gun Club homepage on a phone: the 2013 site shrunk to an unreadable desktop page, beside the 2026 phone-first design with a Book a Have-a-Go button.
The club's homepage on a phone, 2013 and 2026.
  • Phone first, with tap to call and tap for directions.
  • A path for newcomers in three steps: have a go, visit the clubhouse, join and get licensed.
  • Each discipline explained with an animated range plan.
  • Licensing in plain English, with links to the official pages.
  • Have-a-Go days, coaching, licence testing and corporate events, each with its own enquiry link.
  • One enquiry form, routed to the right person by enquiry type.
  • Old page addresses redirect, so existing Google results and bookmarks still land in the right place.

How it works

Start with a free homepage concept.

  1. A concept for your club

    I mock up a homepage using your club's name, disciplines and location. No cost and no obligation.

  2. Your committee decides

    Share it at your next meeting. I'll send a one-page proposal the Secretary can forward, with clear prices and timing.

  3. Built and launched

    I build the site, redirect your old page addresses, and launch it on your club's domain.

Ownership

Your club owns it.

Free hostingThe site runs on Cloudflare in your club's own account, on the free plan. Hosting costs the club nothing.

Yours on paymentYour club owns its domain, the content it supplies and the site files once the build is paid.

Help if you want itAn optional care plan covers updates and small edits each month. You never need one.

Contact

If I've emailed your club, I used the address your club publishes for club business, and only about your website. Reply "no thanks" to any email and I won't contact you again.
