Quakers Running Club Website Refresh – A Faster, Smarter Home for a Thriving Running Community
At LJ Digital Media, we enjoy working with community organisations that need a website capable of growing alongside them. One such project was the redevelopment and modernisation of the Quakers Running Club website.
Quakers Running Club is one of the North East’s most established and welcoming running clubs, offering opportunities for runners of every ability. Their website is the central hub for members, race information, club news, training details and important announcements, so ensuring it was easy to navigate, visually engaging and simple to maintain was a top priority.
The Challenge
Like many long-established club websites, the original site had evolved over a number of years. As more pages, race reports and club resources were added, it became increasingly important to improve the overall user experience while retaining the wealth of information that members rely upon.
The committee wanted a website that would:
- Present information in a clearer, more organised way.
- Improve navigation across the growing number of pages.
- Modernise the visual appearance while respecting the club’s identity.
- Make it easier for volunteers to update content regularly.
- Perform well on mobile devices as well as desktop computers.
The Solution
Working closely with the club, we carried out a comprehensive refresh of the website, focusing on usability, performance and long-term maintainability.
The project included:
- A cleaner, more modern page layout.
- Improved navigation structure for quicker access to club information.
- Enhanced mobile responsiveness for members accessing the site on the move.
- Better organisation of race reports, club information and training resources.
- Updated imagery and page layouts to create a more engaging visitor experience.
- Improvements to overall website performance and user experience.
The result is a website that feels contemporary while continuing to serve its members with the extensive information they expect.
Supporting an Active Community
Running clubs generate a constant stream of new content—from race reports and event information to club records and training updates. The refreshed website provides a flexible content management system that allows volunteers to keep everything up to date without needing specialist technical knowledge.
Visitors can now quickly find information on:
- Club training sessions
- Upcoming races and events
- Press reports
- Club records
- Membership information
- Club news
- Running resources
This improved structure makes it far easier for both new visitors and existing members to find exactly what they need.
Built for the Future
A successful website should continue working for its owner long after launch. By modernising the site’s layout and improving its overall usability, Quakers Running Club now has a digital platform that’s easier to maintain, easier to navigate and ready to support the club for years to come.
Community organisations rely on volunteers giving their time freely, so making website management as straightforward as possible was a key objective throughout the project. Automating some processes saves the valuable time of volunteers.
