Case Study · Community Organization
Duneland Model Club needed more than a visual refresh. BLG Studios replaced its limited Wix presence with a custom digital home for members, prospective members, contest attendees, sponsors, and club leadership.
The original Duneland Model Club website provided basic club and contest information, but its structure limited how effectively the organization could communicate throughout the year.
BLG Studios rebuilt the experience around how the club actually operates—bringing meetings, events, announcements, member projects, annual contest information, sponsor visibility, contact workflows, and administrative tools into one cohesive platform.
A respectful look at how the club’s public presence evolved—from a limited builder site to an independent community platform.
Before
After
Duneland Model Club serves several audiences, each arriving with a different goal.
A prospective member may want to know when and where the club meets. A current member may be checking the next activity. A modeler may want to browse member projects. A contest attendee needs schedules, categories, and registration information. A sponsor or vendor needs a clear way to contact the organization.
The challenge was to support all of those needs without making the website difficult to navigate or maintain.
BLG Studios reorganized the website around the actions visitors are most likely to take.
The homepage immediately directs visitors toward joining the club, attending a meeting, and learning about the annual contest. Supporting sections surface upcoming events, announcements, sponsors, and member builds without overwhelming the visitor.
The platform was structured around reusable content rather than isolated pages. Events, news, galleries, sponsors, contest details, and club information can be updated independently while remaining visually and structurally consistent.

Four shifts that define the new platform—without changing what the club stands for.
Wix subdomain
became Independent domain
Static pages
became Managed content platform
Contest-focused presence
became Year-round club resource
Manual page updates
became Centralized administration
Each capability was designed around how Duneland Model Club communicates, hosts events, and grows its community.
The club moved from a third-party Wix address to its own dedicated domain at DunelandModelClub.com, creating a more credible and memorable public identity.
Visitors can move between club information, events, news, galleries, contact options, and annual contest resources through one consistent navigation structure.
The website provides one place to publish regular meetings, club activities, regional contests, special events, and important dates.
The club has a permanent publishing area for announcements, meeting recaps, event updates, and organizational news.
The gallery platform gives the club structured areas for individual member collections, featured builds, meetings, and event albums.
The club’s annual contest now has a dedicated section for event details, schedules, categories, awards, vendors, downloadable materials, and yearly updates.
Sponsors receive dedicated visibility, while structured inquiry forms give businesses and vendors a clear way to connect with the club.
Visitors can direct questions to the appropriate club representative without relying on prominently displayed personal email addresses.
The platform includes an authenticated foundation that allows authorized club representatives to manage content over time.
Duneland Model Club now has one central destination for prospective members, current members, contest attendees, sponsors, vendors, and club leadership.
The website supports year-round communication rather than functioning as a collection of static contest pages. Club leaders can publish information, members can explore activities and projects, and visitors can quickly find the resources most relevant to them.
The result is a professional digital platform that better reflects the quality, creativity, and community behind the organization.
The website was designed as a foundation rather than a finished endpoint.
New galleries, events, announcements, sponsors, contest years, member resources, and digital features can be added without redesigning the entire platform.
That flexibility gives Duneland Model Club a website that serves its current needs while remaining ready for future programs and growth.
The capabilities delivered for Duneland Model Club as part of this engagement.
