Competition website builder

Build a competition website designed to perform.

Build your competition website for free on a private staging address. Make the brand yours, create competitions and games, preview everything, then connect your own domain when you are ready to launch.

Build Mode

Build your site before paying.

A new workspace starts in Build Mode: a real site on a platform subdomain that only you and your team can see. Payments run in a sandbox, so no real money moves while you build.

  • No card and no sales call to start
  • Up to 25 competitions and 100 test players while you build
  • A visible Build Mode badge, so a preview is never mistaken for a live site
  • Nothing to rebuild at launch: the staging site becomes the live site

Design

Make the brand yours.

Design system

Your name, six brand colours, heading and body fonts from an approved list, and how round corners should be. The platform derives the rest: surfaces, borders, focus rings and hover states that stay consistent on every page.

Readable by rule

Body text must clear WCAG AA contrast against your background. A palette players could not read is refused at save, not discovered after launch.

Pages

The pages a competition site needs, already built.

Homepage and competitions
Live and upcoming competitions, categories, and a page per competition with odds, ticket progress and the entry sheet.
Free entry
The free entry route is a first-class page and appears wherever a paid entry is offered, with equal prominence.
Winners and draws
Draw results, ticket numbers and winners publish to their own pages and build a record players can check.
Player protection
Responsible-play information, spend controls and complaints have their own pages, linked from every footer.
Legal and trust
Terms, privacy and cookies, plus a trust page that shows what the site discloses.

Search

Built for search.

Pages are rendered on the server, so search engines read the same content players do. Titles, descriptions, canonical addresses, structured data, a sitemap and a robots file are generated for you.

  • A site in Build Mode is kept out of search until it goes live
  • Search Console and Bing verification by identifier, with no code to paste
  • Legacy addresses can redirect to their new homes when you migrate

Custom domain

Connect your domain.

Add the domain your players will visit and publish one DNS record to prove it is yours. Verifying your first custom domain is what starts your subscription; until then, building is free.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need a developer?

No. The builder, competitions, games, domain and integrations are all self-service from the operator console.

Is this built on WordPress or an ecommerce plugin?

No. It is a purpose-built competition platform. There are no plugins to update and no shop templates underneath.

Can I move an existing competition site across?

A migration desk imports content as drafts for you to review and carries your old addresses across as redirects. Nothing imported is published automatically.

Your competition business can start here.

Create your workspace, build your site and see the whole platform before you pay.

Build Your Site Free

Your subscription starts when your first custom domain is verified. Until then, building is free.
