The basics are simple. First, choose a domain name that you like and register it. If you want your club to be local, then append your locale to the name. Next, find an inexpensive but reliable web hosting company to host your website. And, lastly, choose one of the many free content management or membership management software platforms to publish your membership site on. If you are technically challenged, you should have no problem finding a student in your area to help you get your site up and running. Once your site is up, your biggest challenge will be figuring out a way to promote your web site so that people are aware of it. Once people become aware of your site, however, you can look forward to having years of enjoyment with your new community of friends.
