The problem

Chess clubs are serious about their game but informal about their online presence. Most rely on a decades-old site or a Facebook page nobody checks.

Seamstack gives your chess club a permanent digital home it actually owns — with a real domain, searchable discussions, and content that doesn't disappear after 48 hours in an algorithm.

Frequently asked questions

Can I publish ECF grades and match results on a Seamstack chess club website?▾
Yes. You can publish results and standings as structured articles or tables. There's no direct ECF API integration, but copying results from the ECF grading database into a well-formatted article is quick and easy.
Is there a template specifically for chess clubs?▾
Seamstack generates a site tailored to your club's style and niche during onboarding. The AI knows what chess clubs typically need and builds the right structure automatically.
How much does a chess club website cost on Seamstack?▾
Your first month is free. After that, Starter is £7/month (ideal for smaller clubs). Community (£14/mo) adds the members forum — great for game analysis threads and announcements.
We have a very small committee. Will this be easy to manage?▾
Yes. Seamstack is designed for volunteer-run clubs with no tech expertise. Adding a match result takes 2 minutes. The AI handles all design and layout decisions.
Can we have multiple admins for the website?▾
Sites are managed from one owner account at the moment, with multi-admin access on the roadmap. Using a dedicated club email address (rather than a personal one) keeps the account transferable between committee members.
