Getting started: from sign-up to a published club

When you sign up, Clubroll takes you through six short steps. You do them in order, but you can stop at any point and come back: the next time you sign in, your Today page says where you left off.

The six steps

1. Your club's basics. The club's name, postal address, contact email and phone, the currency, and whether dates are written day first or month first.
2. Membership levels. What each kind of membership costs and when it renews. Four examples (Individual, Household, Student, Life) are filled in for you to change.
3. Your members. Bring your list in from your old system or a spreadsheet. If you would rather start with an empty roll, that is a valid answer too.
4. Your website. One line about the club, then a look you like from the six templates.
5. A first message. Clubroll sends a test newsletter to your own email address only, so you can see what members will see.
6. Publish. A checklist, then the button that puts your club's website on the web.

What you can do before you pay

A new club starts in setup. In setup you can import your list, write everything, set up levels, preview your website and send yourself a test email. Publishing the website, emailing members and inviting other officers switch on the moment the first payment goes through; you do not need to ask anyone. See why you cannot publish or email yet.

Look at the website before anyone else does

On the website step you can make a private link to your draft site and send it to your committee. Nobody else can find it. See preview your site before you publish.

If you get stuck

Every screen has a small "Help" line at the bottom that opens the article for that screen. If none of them answers your question, use Still stuck?.
