Synchro Žralok: a bilingual club website that updates itself

A synchronised swimming club in Bratislava. A site in two languages where the news feed is pulled automatically from the club's public Instagram.

A problem every club and school knows

A sports club's website goes stale faster than any other. Competitions, sign-ups, training camps, results — plenty happens, but nobody has time for the site: the coach coaches and parents help when they can.

Six months after launch the home page still announces a tournament that already happened. A parent choosing a club for their child sees an abandoned site and draws the obvious conclusion.

Meanwhile the club's Instagram is alive: photos from training, results, announcements. They are simply two separate worlds, and nobody carries one into the other.

What was built

The site pulls content from the club's public Instagram automatically. The coach posts the way they always did — the site updates itself.

That removes the main reason club websites die: having to do the same work twice. Nobody writes the same thing in two places, and planning around that is wishful thinking.

Two languages

Slovak and English versions, each on its own URL and linked by hreflang. For a club in the capital this is practical: Bratislava has many international families, and an English site is the only way for them to work out where to sign their child up.

A visitor whose system is Slovak lands on the Slovak version, everyone else on English. The switch stays: the choice is always the visitor's.

What it changed

The site stopped ageing. A parent who opens it while looking for a club sees a living organisation — recent photos and results rather than last year's notice.

For the club it is also work removed: nobody has to remember the website. Instagram is being kept up anyway, and now it works twice.

Technically

Responsive layout, fast loading, automatic content retrieval from a public profile, two language versions with correct markup, mandatory legal details and a cookie banner. Domain and hosting registered to the client.

If this sounds familiar

Clubs, schools, studios, small non-profits — the same story everywhere: the content exists, but it lives on social media while the site sits empty. An automatic link solves that once and for good.
