Geez can’t we all just get along on this crappy ancient fanpage lol. Shouldn’t we all be getting kicked of this page soon?
Here’s what ChatGPT says we should do:
You don’t need “real” web dev to make a solid fan page for a college team.
Here are 3 very simple paths, from
super easy to
still easy but more customizable:
1. Easiest: “Fan Hub” as a Facebook Group (or similar)
If your main goal is
posts within a group, honestly the simplest “webpage” is a
social group:
How to do it (Facebook example):
- Go to Groups → Create New Group.
- Name it something clear:
- “[School] [Team] Fan Club”
- “[Team] Diehards”
- Set Privacy:
- Public if you want max reach.
- Private if you want a tighter community.
- Add:
- Cover photo (team logo, stadium shot, etc.).
- Pinned post that explains:
- What the group is about
- Rules (no racism, respect players, no doxxing, etc.)
- Where to find key info (schedule thread, ticket swaps, etc.)
Pros:
- Zero coding
- People can comment, post, share clips
- Easy moderation
Good if: You just want a place where fans can post takes, memes, and game reactions without having to actually build a site.
2. Simple Fan Webpage: Google Sites (free, fast)
If you want an actual
webpage (like a simple mini-site) that you control:
Tool: [Google Sites] (free with a Google account)
Steps:
- Go to sites.google.com → “Blank” (or use a template).
- Add sections like:
- Home – short intro + big team photo
- Schedule & Results
- Links – official team site, ticketing, streams, X accounts, etc.
- Fan Zone – embed your Facebook Group, X feed, or Instagram hashtag.
- Use the drag-and-drop editor to:
- Insert pictures, logos
- Embed YouTube highlights
- Add buttons like “Join our Group Chat”
Share the link in your fan group, on X, etc.
Pros:
- Looks like a real website
- No coding needed
- Great “hub” you can link everywhere
Good if: You want one link to send people that explains “who we are, what this fan group is, where to follow.”
3. “Clean One-Pager”: Carrd or Notion
If you want it to look a bit more modern and minimal:
Option A: Carrd
- Go to carrd.co
- Pick a free one-page template.
- Add:
- Team name & logo
- “About the Fan Group”
- Game day watch info
- Links to social accounts / group chats
Option B: Notion Page
- Create a Notion page like:
- “Sac State Hornets Fan Hub” (or your team)
- Add sections:
- Weekly opponent
- Depth charts / storylines
- Links to highlight videos
- Use Share → Publish to web and share that URL.
Pros:
- Very quick to edit
- Great for organized info (schedules, stats, links)
Recommended combo (if you want both)
If you want this to be smooth and low-maintenance:
- Primary community: Facebook Group / Discord / WhatsApp Community for live conversation.
- Simple hub webpage: Google Site or Carrd that:
- Explains the group
- Shows schedule & key links
- Points people to the group for joining the conversation
