Our work
Darwen FC: a full club platform, built for a real non-league club
ClubFuse designed and built Darwen FC’s website and staff tools at no charge, as a real-world project, and runs them today at darwenfc.co.uk. Everything in ClubFuse started with problems we solved there first.
The live site
Every page, on desktop and phone

Team photo, manager, league position and player profiles.
Club website
Newsroom
Match reports, previews and club news, written and scheduled by club staff.
Programmes
The Salmoner
The club’s monthly newsletter sign-up. Matchday programmes are made with the programme builder.
Bookings & Enquiries
Function room hire
The Salmoners Lounge: hire enquiries for parties, weddings and wakes, managed by the club.
Shop add-on
Merchandise
Shirt pre-orders made to order, so the club holds no stock.
What we built
This is a description of the work. We don’t quote figures for traffic or income: we haven’t measured them in a way we’d be comfortable publishing.
Public website
News, men’s and ladies’ squads with player profiles, fixtures and results, league tables, sponsorship, venue hire, club policies and a newsletter sign-up.
Newsroom for staff
Staff logins, draft and scheduled stories, image uploads, and an inbox for every enquiry sent through the site.
Sponsorship
Packages and player sponsorships with live availability, and an enquiry form that reaches the commercial team.
Venue bookings
Calendars for the club’s function spaces, with provisional holds that expire, deposits, clash checks and an email for each stage.
Shirt orders
Pre-orders for the new kit, without the club needing to hold any stock.
Club Studio
Matchday social graphics in the club’s colours, and an A5 matchday programme builder that exports a print-ready PDF with bleed.
Supporter votes
Player of the Match and Player of the Month voting with limits on repeat voting.
Volunteers need fewer steps, not more features
That’s why the programme copies last week’s issue forward, and graphics fill themselves in from the fixtures: less retyping every week.
Never touch the club’s email
Moving a domain can silently break club email. Our custom-domain process only adds website records.
An enquiry isn’t a booking
Staff review every request. A date is only blocked once it’s held or confirmed, so nothing gets double-booked.
