In this project, I set out to redesign the website for a village cricket team using Ruby on Rails and basic front-end skills.
As a cricket fan, I noticed that the majority of websites for village cricket clubs followed a format designed by the England and Wales Cricket Board('ECB'). Whilst the provision of a template makes financial sense and although the template is perfectly functional, there is little scope for personalisation or extension beyond the prescribed sections.
In many small villages around the country, a local cricket club already plays an important role in the community as a spot for local, like-minded sports fans to meet on a regular basis. However, in circumstances where clubs are increasingly seeking to promote their facilities for non-sporting events (weddings, parties etc) it has become vital that a club's website visually sells the club at the same time as providing all relevant sporting information.
The build status of the application will appear here.

The application uses a PostgreSQL database when run locally. If you have not previously used PostgreSQL, follow these instructions to download and install it on your system.
The fastest way to use the site is to visit it here.
As an alternative, download the repository by navigating to an appropriate location on the command line and running:
git clone https://github.com/bwk103/whimpleCC.git
Install the required dependencies by running:
bundle install
Create the databases and migrate the schema:
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
Run the application:
rails server
If you wish to run all of the tests, navigate to the repository's root directory and run:
rspec
This is where the credits will go.
