Why a club might use this
The public gains one trustworthy, current and usable source for local Rotary information instead of relying on fragmented social posts or member knowledge.
Use it when
Mobile-first visitors, prospective participants, partners, media, members and people using assistive technology or low-bandwidth connections. Use when the current site is outdated, inaccessible, insecure, difficult to edit or unclear to first-time visitors.
Before the club starts
A content and service inventory with keep, rewrite, redirect, archive and owner decisions.
Verified control of the domain, hosting, analytics, administrative accounts and recovery contacts.
User tasks, accessibility acceptance criteria, privacy requirements and measurable launch outcomes.
