The Ashford School Hack Club website is a Flask-based website I built for my school’s Hack Club to help students discover the club, learn more about what it offers and find out how to join.
The website includes a dedicated guide explaining how students can join the club, a team section, a landing page and a Hack Club-style footer. It also integrates live data from the Hack Club Bank API, allowing relevant HCB information to be displayed on the site. The website uses a reusable Flask and Jinja template structure, with a shared base.html template and separate CSS files to help keep the project organised and improve performance.
The project was also an opportunity to build and deploy a website for a real community at my school. I deployed it on Hack Club Nest and focused on making the experience fast, clear and visually engaging for students visiting the site for the first time.
This project helped me move beyond building websites purely for myself and gave me experience creating a real-world web application with Flask, APIs, reusable templates, optimisation and deployment.
