About
Four Counties Clay Target Club is a clay pigeon shooting ground that hosts competitions every Sunday. It's a CPSA-registered English Sporting ground, and is also registered for F.I.T.A.S.C. and Sportrap.
In February 2020, a work colleague, Steve, and a partner took over the club during a change of ownership. They hired me to give the club a fresh start with a new logo and a new website.
Challenge
The club's existing website on fourcountiesctc.com was very dated, and the new owners didn't own the domain. An even older WordPress site was also still online but no longer used. They needed a new identity, a domain they controlled, and a site their staff could keep up to date themselves.
Solution
I started by designing a new logo for the club. Once that was approved, I built a modern, dark-themed website on a new domain, fourcountiesctc.co.uk, with home, about, news feed, gallery and contact pages.
I also built a scoreboard system in PHP. It let club staff record and publish shooting fixtures on the website, and post shoot information and upcoming events to the news feed, without needing any technical knowledge.

Results
The new logo was delivered, and the website and scoreboard were built over the following months. The site reached the beta stage you can see in the screenshots.
As the site neared completion, the owners lost interest in launching it. Soon afterwards, they passed the club on to new owners, who gave it a full rebrand and chose not to continue with the website. The site and scoreboard were never used in production.
Although it never launched, it was a complete client project from start to finish: a brand identity, a website and a custom content management tool, delivered to a real client's brief.
