I am perhaps biased because I've been working on this with the club, but I think this is an important project. Firstly this is primarily the vehicle for the club communicating with the fans. There will be a couple of immediate improvements in this area including regular updates from the Chairman on what's been happening in and around the club and a suggestion wall where fans can post and vote on ideas etc.... Secondly, and this won't be covered in this initial phase, the club is looking to increase revenue by virtue of making it easier to spend money on club services by doing a lot more business online. More revenue means more for the playing budget at the end of the day. A lot of work has gone into this from a lot of different areas right back to a study done on the current official website by UWS students a year or so ago. Hopefully the first phase will be well received but there's lots more to come on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltcoatsbuddie Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 site needed updated but the biggest problem is lack of communication ,last weeks example was nothing about u20 on official site until 48hrs after game was finished ,this is very poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Would be good if you could order strips and other merchandise on the official site with the profits actually going to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Can I be the first one to say, "I liked the old one better".[emoji14] I'm totally expecting that to be honest!One of the main pushes for design change is that the current site isn't responsive. It doesn't work well on mobile devices and with 60% of traffic coming on mobile that's a problem.Norrie has been working hard keeping both sites up to date the last couple of weeks!
