Wimborne Town FC needed a more flexible way to manage bookings for their 3G football pitch. The existing setup relied on email enquiries and manual handling, which limited availability and made it difficult to manage repeat and block bookings for teams and holiday clubs.
We designed and built a dedicated pitch booking website using WordPress, with WooCommerce at its core. The system allows users to book pitch time online, view availability through a live calendar, and make secure payments via Stripe. This removed the reliance on email enquiries and gave customers a clear, self service booking process.
To support the club’s internal needs, particularly for youth teams and holiday programmes, we implemented a recurring booking solution. This allows staff to log in and create daily, weekly, or monthly block bookings directly through the admin area, without needing external tools or manual workarounds.
The calendar view also supports telephone enquiries, enabling staff to quickly check availability and confirm bookings while speaking to customers. The booking system was designed to sit seamlessly alongside the club’s main website, maintaining consistent branding and user experience.
The result is a practical, flexible booking platform that gives Wimborne Town FC full control over pitch availability, reduces admin time, and makes booking easier for both staff and customers.
