HDD Golf Classic

The Hickory Dickory Decks Charity Golf Tournament is an annual fundraiser supporting ALS and Sleeping Children Around the World. The site has tournament information, sponsorship opportunities, and a photo gallery. Golfers can register and pay fees online.

Design Goals

The main goal of the site was to promote the tournament, provide information, and encourage people to participate and support these two important charities.

Prior to having the website, office staff at Hickory Dickory Decks were making all registrations and fielding questions about the tournament. This site was designed to relieve office staff of some of that extra work.

Technical Requirements

An ecommerce system was required to handle online registrations and fees needed to be kept to a minimum in order to benefit the charities as much as possible.

There was a need for a photo gallery, and a map of the tournament location as well as other general tournament information.

Implementation

To support the goals above the site was developed using a CMS with an ecommerce system to enable online registrations. In order to keep costs down and have more funds go directly to the charities, PayPal is used to accept payment since they provide a very cost efficient system for small volume clients. No dedicated IP address or merchant account is required and there are no monthly fees.

A JavaScript photo gallery displays photos from each year’s tournament.

An embedded Google map shows the tournament location.

Next Steps

We will be working with hickory Dickory Decks each year on this important event. This year we will be streamlining the registration process to make it more efficient, require fewer steps, and less work on the part of office staff.
