Getting Started - The Basics

With so many features in Bridgewebs it is difficult to know where to start, but there are two or three basic areas that you will want to set up fairly quickly.

Results

The first thing most clubs will want to do is to upload results. You can do this direct from your Scoring software. PLEASE REMEMBER, your club "Login Code" is the short code assigned to your club web site and you will need this in your Bridge Scoring software, see Results. If you then feel that it would be nice to upload some historical results, it is quicker to do this direct on the web site, see Web Results Upload

Calendar

One thing that members will find particularly useful quite quickly is a Calendar of future events. A Calendar is maintained within Bridgewebs holding all the future and past events. The calendar can be used to record who is the director, scorer, host or dealer week by week. When you first start using the calendar it will be better if you use the Quick Update to record these details. With this option you do not need to enter a date but simply record what you need to against a list of dates.

Home Page

The "Home Page" is where you will want to put the most useful and up to date information regarding club activities. You will need to, in summary, say where you are, nearest town(s) which is useful when your web page gets indexed by Google etc. and someone is searching for say "bridge club in anytown", when you play and what is good about your club. Initially you will have some boxes already set up and all you need to do is change the words, see News Pages

Information Page

You can also specify club details in a more structured way with the information pages - "Where & When", "Find Us" and "Contact Us" including a link to a mapping site, see Where & When
