Faketown GAA club is a pretty standard rural GAA club based in the ficticious Irish town of Faketown. The club play hurling & gaelic football at many levels (underage, senior, intermediate, ladies etc.) They have a proud history that they want to publish on the site. They also run a weekly lottery for fund-raising purposes.

You'll notice quite a lot of information on the homepage. From viewing the home page, visitors to the site will be able to read a welcome note, see the latest club news, see the latest GAA news, view last weeks lotto numbers, see upcoming fixtures and current league tables in hurling & football. Its a very vibrant & dynamic homepage and gives the impression of a very active & lively club.

The site uses Smart-Menu & breadcrumbs for navigation. This makes sense as there is a lot of different categories & even sub categories within the site (e.g. Hurling breaks off into a camogie section which has its own news and match reports etc.). This categorisation was made possible by using base sites. You'll notice in the content lists in the hurling section that Site Admin & Philip O'Brien have posted articles (News & Fixtures) so this is a multi user system.

There is a messageboard, guestbook & Poll list contained in the site so it is a very dynamic site. Visitors to this (fake) site would get the impression that the site & club is very up to date.

The main priority for the website owners is the 'school news' section. This content list will contain all the latest school news items and is expected to be one of the busiest sections of the site. You'll notice a few different names under the filed by section on this list so this is a multi user system. The Notice Board contains lots of rich information such as tables, hyperlinks & images. This would suggest that the person who published this obviously knew how to use the editor well.

The site also features a messageboard (forum) and a links section.

Clever use of the header image, background image and the editor makes for a very professional and clear looking finish. You'll also notice that Smart-Menu & breadcrumbs are disabled.

For business sites, use of the editor is very important as there will most likely not be a need for messageboards, guestbooks or Poll lists. Indeed all of the Faketown Interiors site is comprised of content pages. 

Typically business sites will only need a single admin user to make updates. As your business grows & develops, so too should your site. 

Latest club news & internation golf news is also shown on the homepage along with upcoming events & contact information. The homepage takes on the mantle of the most important part of this site and it seems to cope admirably. There is a lot of information here but none of it is cluttered. It's displayed in a clear fashion and much of this is down to the layout of the content in tables.

The 'course' section makes use of the editor and content list feature. The site also features a messageboard & a poll page.

As you would expect, this site has been designed to be as dynamic as possible with a messageboard and poll defined.

A portal is a typical example of where we can add up users to balance out the workload for maintaining the site. For example in this portal we could assign a member of the local GAA club to look after the GAA section of the site. This would leave the master admin user concentrate on other tasks in the site.

You'll notice that this site uses a header image, side image, background image, Smart-Menu breadcrumbs. 

Because no two weeks are the same in the sports world, they will need to update the sports page on a weekly basis to show whats coming up for the following week. Clear-Site lends itself very well to this concept of dynamic updates.

Of course the management of Peg's can use their website to advertise more than just upcoming sports events. They also maintain a news section which is populated with ongoing activity in the pub such as weekly draws, pool competitions etc. You'll also notice that they advertise jobs for barstaff in the news section. They also give contact & location details on the site.

Peg's Bar website is set up in such a way that regular updates can be made very easily and visitors to the site will be most impressed with the freshness of the information on the pages because of this.

Like most businesses, Faketown Motor Factors receive new stock on a daily business. The flexibility of Clear-Site allows the management of FMF to advertise new products in a quick and easy way.

You'll notice the list of suppliers along the right hand side of the home page. These images were uploaded through the upload centre. Not only do the images add colour to the site, they also make the business look more professional and dynamic. In this sample, we have chosen not to link these images back to the homepage of the supplier but this can be done easily if needed.

You'll notice that this site also features a weblog (blog). This is basically an online diary that the owner can maintain to give the rest of the world an insight into his/her thoughts and opinions. A place where the administrator can have a rant about whatever may be interesting them or bothering them on a particular day. The beauty of Clear-Site is that if Joe decides to go on holiday, he can log in to his admin section from anywhere in the world and update his blog and post new content without having to use client based services such as FTP which may be banned in many internet cafe's. 

You'll notice that Joe also keeps a videos section. Even though you can't upload video files to version 1.1 of Clear-Site, you may embed them in your html from other websites such as YouTube. If you go to these sites you'll notice an 'embed' text box beside the video. Copy this text and toggle to the html view by clicking on the 'view source' check box in the editor. Now simply paste in the 'embed' text and save the content.
