The website of a riding stable offering riding lessons, stabling for horses and a summer day camp for children. Camp applications, an overview of the services, a photo gallery and staff recruitment.
Do you want a website for camps or courses?
We will build it on Joomla. Camps and courses have a short booking window and a heavy rush. The website has to handle the application and its payment, not merely show photographs.
What a website for camps and courses needs
A parent decides during a few days of the year. They want to see the dates, the places left, the price and what is included. And then they want to enrol their child without having to phone.
- Camp dates with the places still free shown for each one
- An online application that takes a parent no more than a few minutes
- A price list including what is and is not covered
- A photo gallery from previous years as proof
- Documents to download, meaning the medical form and consents
- Recruitment of instructors and seasonal staff
What to watch out for in this line of business
A rush in a single week
The applications all arrive at once. The website has to survive that day, which is handled in advance rather than when it happens.
Capacity
Nothing annoys a parent more than applying for a camp that is already full. Free places have to be visible up front.
Paperwork
Camp paperwork takes a lot of time. A form that generates it saves work on both sides.
Photographs of children
Publishing photographs needs consent. It pays to deal with that in the application form itself.
