The USCA website implemented a few notable changes over the weekend:
- The first is a site map and search box geared at helping members navigate the incredibly deep and resourceful website. The site map link is always handy on the right side of the main menu for users that are struggling to find info they know exists.
- The second initiative targets further grass roots growth for croquet in the United States. As part of the "Start a Club" web page, Leo Nikora has now provided a How to Build an Easy Website tutorial document. The tutorial goes step-by-step through the process of building an informational croquet club site on the free host service Weebly. Websites have become the new yellow page listing and unfortunately if you check the USCA directory, there are far too many U.S. clubs operating without a site -- generally considered the first resource that younger demographics will check for more information. One of the keys to the project is having the new club link to the USCA main site and the USCA site link back in return. This will hopefully give the new site enough power on Google search to top the listing for croquet searches in their community. In addition, more links into the USCA site will boost the already solid Google ranking for the USCA main site.
The Croquet Association website now has a job description available for the WCF Secretary General position.
