Website Summary

What content will the site contain?

This website will contain content pertaining to all things pickleball in St.George. This will include the most popular places to play, as well as tournaments that happen every year. It will be a first for pickleball that I've seen and a first for pickleball in St.george. Right now it is majorly knowing the right people who know what is going on within the pickleball community.

Where will you get all the content for your website?

I will either obtain the content for my websites by getting or obtaining them myself, or by utilizing different people within the pickleball community that I know. I know several different people who are some of the best pickleball players in St.George, and can defer to their advice when I'm not sure whether something I have said or claim is correct.

Why should users care about the focus of your site?

The reason people should care, is because this is going to be a first in the pickleball community and will be amazing for bringing together the community and really providing a way for the community to continue to be connected or stay connected. It could also potentially be a good way for newcomers to not feel left out.

Why should a site be built for this?

Pickleball is one of the largest up and coming sports, and has been the largest growing sport in the United States for 4 consecutive years. St.George is also a hub for pickleball, due to it's ideal weather year round. This website should be built since the sport is starting to grow so much that people are consistently wanting to compete and find new people to play with. This will be a way to connect the community and provide the sport with momentum so it can continue to grow.

What would you like users to do at your site?

The goal for my website is to create a hub for pickleball players all over St.George. If someone wants to play pickleball but doesn't know anyone to play with, they can visit the website and find some of the most popular places to drive around. I also would like to have a functionality that would allow for people to post and let people know they will be playing or hosting a local tournament and others are welcome to come. However I don't know if we will learn the tools that I would need in order to create such a functionality now. Luckily I don't plan on this website being something I do for this class then ditch. I want to keep it alive and continue to improve it as I improve my skills in software engineering and web development.

What is the goal of the site?

The goal of the site, as stated previously, is to bring together pickelball players all across St.George. It is also to promote the rapid growth of pickleball as a sport. I hope that St.George can become a home for pickleball and that pickleball will be able to continue growing and becoming a fun sport that all people, no matter their age or skill level, can play together. I also have a goal to have this website be a tool they can use to come together and make that dream a reality.
