1. A shared spreadsheet or document
Free and quick to start. Someone records champions and records by hand in Google Sheets or a shared doc. It works for a season or two, then falls behind, because every number has to be typed in and nobody wants to be the one doing it.
2. A website builder
Google Sites, Squarespace or WordPress give you pages that look nicer than a spreadsheet, for free up to about $20 a month. The content is still entered by hand, so it has the same problem: it is only as current as the commissioner’s free time.
3. Build your own from the league’s data
Sleeper and ESPN expose league data, so a site can build itself from it. That is how LeaguePulse works, and its source code is free to run for your own league: you host it on Vercel, add your league ID, and add a database and an AI key if you want the AI writers. It is free in money but not in time, and you keep it updated yourself.
4. A hosted league site
The same thing, done for you. With LeaguePulse’s hosted version you paste your league ID and get a site at its own address in about a minute, with every season of history, a record book, live game day, a trade finder, AI writers and a 3D stadium for every franchise. It is $39 a year for the whole league, $3.25 a manager in a 12-team league, with 14 days free.
What a good league website has
Every season, not just this one
The history is the point. It should go back to the league’s first year, automatically.
Records that update themselves
If someone has to type them in, they stop being updated.
Something new every week
Previews, recaps and power rankings give people a reason to come back.
Works on phones
Most people open it during a game, on a phone.
