Keep The Club

Keep your club connected, growing, and easy to run.

Clubs rarely fade because people stop caring. They fade when keeping everyone in touch becomes a second job.

Matt Willett, Founder, KeepTheClub LLC

Keep The Club gives your club one modern, private place to live, so members stay close, and newcomers can find you.

Not another social network. Not a website project. Just your club, in one place.

Two overlapping rings, like the Keep The Club logo. On the amber public site ring sit SEO and AI search, requests to join, your own domain and club information. On the navy member portal ring sit the roster, events, sales and dues. Where the rings overlap sit events and sales, the things officers can choose to share publicly.

BUILT FOR CLUBS LIKE

What Keep The Club is

One tool. A public website for the world, a private portal for your members.

No developer needed, no complicated setup. Set up your site in an afternoon, and tailor it to exactly what your club needs.

The public site

Your club's front door. Who you are, when you meet, what's coming up, fully configurable to suit your needs. Build it with an easy to use site builder, on your own domain if you have one.

The member portal

The clubhouse behind the login. The place to share announcements, sales, events, messages and more. Fully configurable for what your club uses. Members only, always.

Where clubs live today

Most clubs run on five things at once.

Each one made sense when it was set up. Together, they're a lot for a volunteer to keep up with, and a lot for members to keep track of.

A Facebook group
Great for reach, hard to search, and out of the club's hands. Members without an account miss everything.
A roster spreadsheet
Usually lives with one officer. It works right up until that officer's term ends.
Group texts
Quick, friendly, and gone. Headcounts and decisions get lost between threads.
An older website
Built with care years ago, but updating it takes someone who knows how. If they leave, the site goes down or is frozen in time.
Email blasts
Good for the big announcements. Not so good when someone needs the answer again next spring.

One site. One login. Yours to keep.

Everything the club runs on, in one place.

No plugins, no hosting bill, no developer on retainer. Members never pay a cent.

How it works

Three steps, and one of them is making coffee.

There is no setup call, no migration project and nothing to install. A club officer can do the whole thing in an evening.

  1. Claim your club's address

    Name the club, drop in a photo, and you have a public page and a member portal at the same address. Ten minutes and you're up and running.

  2. Configure what you need

    Build your Public Site in minutes with our easy to use site builder. Configure your members portal with exactly what they need.

  3. Bring the members in

    Paste the roster you already have and send everyone an invite, or let them request to join from the public page and approve them as they come.

Private by default

A club roster is not public data, and we don't treat it like it is.

Everything members post lives behind the login unless an officer deliberately publishes it on the Public Site. That's the difference between a club site and a social network.

Members only, always

Forums, the roster, messages and albums are invisible to the public. Publishing anything takes an explicit switch.

No ads, no data selling

The club pays for the tool, so your members aren't the product. Nothing about them is sold, rented or fed to an ad network.

Your content stays yours

Export the roster, the photos and the posts whenever you like. Leaving is allowed, and it doesn't cost you the club's history.

Officers you can change

Roles are granted and revoked by the club, not by us. Nobody ends up as the permanent owner of a club they left in 2019.

Questions officers ask

What is asked about Keep The Club

Do members have to pay anything?

No. The club subscribes, and every member uses everything for free.

Do we need a web developer?

No, and you don't need a theme, a plugin or a hosting account either. If you can post to a group, you can run the club's site.

Can we keep our current web address?

Yes. Point the domain the club already owns at your Keep The Club site and neither members nor the public relearn anything.

Half our members aren't computer people.

That's who it's built for. Plain layouts, readable type, one login, and it works in the phone browser they already have. No app store.

Can we move off our Facebook group?

Yes. Bring the member list and the photos that matter, put the rest in the forum as you go, and leave the group up as a signpost.

Can we get any help?

Absolutely! Our team can assist with onboarding, questions, or issues, all for free!
