Sporty makes available a free website and member management system for every sports organisation and school within New Zealand and Australia.
Free Website
Home Page
You are allowed up to two section blocks, and each section can only be 'one widget deep' - that is, one widget per column in the section.
In addition to the two sections there is both a Header and Footer section available to add content.
Figure 1 shows a layout with two sections.
Looking at the top section which has been split into two columns, there are two widgets added (Contact widget and a Text widget). This means that no further widgets can be added, but widgets can be changed.
Looking at the bottom section, there are no widgets currently added. Click + ADD CONTENT to add a widget to this section, or click the section settings cog and change the columns from one to multiple (one to four columns are your options).

Likewise for the bottom section, we could add a widget next to our Sporty image, but not below it.
Underlying Pages
The underlying pages of FREE websites are restricted to one section, and "one widget deep", meaning only one widget per section column. This rule applies to every page except the Home page (in which you are allowed another section - detailed above).
There are over 100 pages available within the free template for you to use. The restriction only applies to the section and widgets displayed within a page.
Refer to figure 2 below for an example:

Your Sporty site also has unlimited document and image storage, the ability to send eNewsletter, post news on your website, integrate with social media and many more fantastic features.
With a Free Sporty site, advertising is displayed at the bottom of each page.
VIP Websites
With a VIP website, you get the majority of the website functionality unlocked. You can have unlimited sections and widgets on every page. The advertising is removed.
