Our Exciting New Website

Posted on Tuesday, 20 September 2011

We've just launched Stage 1 of our new website. Our web team has been working for almost 15 months designing and developing the new site. In doing so we have endeavoured to incorporate all the features you like on the old site and some nifty new things as well. Great photography is key to this site.

We have carefully designed the site to be user-friendly, clear and clean in its look, with great functionality and incorporating the Club's crisp colour scheme. The design & web-engineering teams at Ionata Web Solutions [Hobart] have done a great job pulling all our ideas and requirements together.

The purpose of our new website is threefold:-

  1. To provide information for our members and visitors.
  2. To appeal to the broader community attracting new business and memberships.
  3. To attract visiting golfers and their families to the Merimbula area.

We wanted our website to stand out from other golf clubs - an attractive business and tourism site that specialises in golf. We think we have achieved just that - the site is so unique in the golfing website world.

Stage 2, which we hope will follow within 4-6 weeks will provide the link to our Club's servers which will enable the Online Timesheets we have been waiting so long for; as well as being able to update your personal details.

Stage 3 is still being planned - but we envisage that this stage will be a secure payment area for events and subscriptions.

My specia thanks to the launch team - Noel Robertson, Peter McMullen, Lee Beatty, Martin Anderson and Jimmy Heazlewood from Ionata.      Sue Lacey [Website Coordinator]
