East Torrens Kensington Gardens Tennis Club
East Torrens-Kensington Gardens Tennis Club, based in Adelaide, is one of the largest tennis clubs in the Eastern Districts Tennis Association and is affiliated with Tennis SA. In 2005, the crew from the club were after a new website - something smart, usable, fresh and clean.
In the initial stages, the crew needed a website to Team Information to be easily updated each week. The ETKG crew had some experience with using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server before, and wanted to continue to upload the updated Microsoft Word document of Team Information each week to ensure that team members received their information in the usual format. The Team Information area of the site looks at the Word document sitting on the server, and informs the user of the last time the file was updated to ensure members keep up to date with details.
Following on from the initial site overhaul, ETKG wanted to extend the site by adding some dynamic components to make site management easier. These features included a Photo Gallery Management System and a Sponsor Management System. The Photo Gallery Management System enables the crew from ETKG to create a new gallery and upload photos into the gallery, which will automatically resize images and create custom thumbnails, all at the click of a button. Ensuring the site adheres to recommended accessibility guidelines, the ETKG crew can also give each photo a suitable alternate text, enabling users to still get an understanding of the content of each image in case they are browsing with images turned off or have difficulties viewing images.
The Sponsor Management System enables the administration crew to create and maintain Sponsors that appear on each page of the site, with a different Sponsor randomly loaded as each page is loaded. Given the hierarchical nature of Sponsorship, ETKG required a System to ensure higher-ranked Sponsors can be prioritised to occur more frequently than others. The Sponsor Management System has been created with 5 hierarchy levels, with those ranked higher having a higher chance of being shown on the website.
