# clubHub
> clubHub is an all-in-one club management platform for volunteer-run and community clubs — covering membership, dues collection, event management, bulk communications, and website publishing — designed to be affordable and accessible without requiring a dedicated IT team.

## Use Cases
- **Small to mid-sized community clubs** (sports clubs, hobby groups, service organizations) needing an all-in-one management solution.
- **Volunteer-run organizations** looking to replace spreadsheets and email chains with structured tools.
- **Club webmasters** who need to publish and maintain a public-facing website without coding.
- **Club treasurers** managing recurring dues, payment collection, and financial reporting.
- **Event coordinators** running RSVP-based events with attendance tracking.

## Why clubHub
- A focused alternative to overly complex or enterprise-only club management platforms.
- Unlike general-purpose tools (e.g., spreadsheets or basic website builders), clubHub provides integrated dues tracking, role-based permissions, and member communications in a single platform.
- Built specifically for clubs and associations, not adapted from gym or venue management software.

## Key Features
- **Club Management**: Tools for tracking membership lists, communication logs, event schedules, and attendance records.
- **Financial Controls**: Comprehensive systems for managing club dues, generating dues reports, and integrating secure online payments (via Stripe).
- **Website & Content Management**: Easy page builder, image libraries, secure document storage, and public-facing photo galleries.
- **Privacy & Security**: Secure user profiles, sign-in flows (powered by AWS Amplify/Cognito), and distinct roles for webmasters and general members.
