New Website?

[andrew1957]

Just wanted to say that I have given it a few days before commenting in case things improved BUT the new website is still terrible IMO.

Very disappointing change.

Still can't access it via iPhone

I just get a transparent white screen which stops me from clicking anything

First impressions aren't great, but it'll settle itself down. There are always a few problems with new launches.

It does have the feel of being a bit of a rush job though. Having been involved in a number of web builds / launches it strikes me as being a bit of a work in progress. If you have a good roam around the site there are loads of things that have been enter just as temporary measures. Galleries etc. The player profiles aren't up to date - despite the squad numbers being in place for the new season. Pretty basic stuff.

It's not really the content that I see as a problem. Presumably that's just the same content as was there previously and the website is just drawing it in onto the new look layouts. They're not going to be rewriting everything for this are they?

It's the layout and functionality that I find pretty unusable and quite painful to look at. Others are just as bad of course, so it's not just the clubs fault on this one.

TBM, I think you're problem might be that you can't see the cookie information that you have to accept to get past that 'white screen' cover you're seeing.

Visually it looks great upon first viewing, especially with the large background image. However it's all downhill after the initial reaction. The UI is shocking. Did the designers and developers do any user testing at all? Navigating around the site is shockingly poor. The layout resembles a half finished jigsaw puzzle that a five year old has trashed. What's really disappointing is that the majority of users these days will access the website via their mobile and there is no mobile version of the site. If you're going to launch a new website these days then a mobile version/or at least a mobile compatible site is essential.

As for the coding behind the scenes... well, they're clearly not thinking long term.

And seriously, it's fine to have the cookies notice (by law) when you go to the site but for Gods sake, remember that this was accepted by the user next time they visit the site. Why make the user wait for that notice to load and appear each and every time? Nuts.

So in conclusion, it's sh!t.

Yeah i thought that but it just doesn't display

In this day an' age they should at least have a mobile friendly site.......something similar to the BBC would be handy

The new revamped website is beyond awful and seems to cement the club's commitment to providing the worst media coverage possible.

TBM, if you click on the "ENTER READING FC" button on the part of the screen which is in bold, it will take you to the site. It is very small and took me ages to spot.

It took around three minutes just to load on my phone though, and once in it is not user friendly on a mobile. I hope they sort out a moble version soon because it used to be dead useful for checking the news.

Clearest sign they aren't thinking long term is that Player isn't going HTML5.

Looks too amateur

Exactly. So easy to use HTML5 for videos. The visual idea of the site has potential but clearly the designer has zero UI experience. Oh well...

This is the site fully loaded on my phone - please point out where it is

TBM, It's hard to say from just a screen shot, as the website is bigger than the screen and you miss bits. But if you have scrolled down and checked and can't find it, it must be different on your phone.

[Barry the bird boggler]

I guess this is all so that we are branded like the other PL clubs, funny thing is though how come Norwich have managed to avoid this dreadful revamp? They still have the FL appearance which, though not perfect, is much better...

This is the bottom half of the screen

Can any Latin Speakers translate this. Also the top picture is of a Pox player, and below is the gallery from Brighton & HA game with Accrington Stanley and a couple of Euro 2012. Not what I was looking for from the official website

SACK THE MAN WHO DOES THE WEBSITE

[MouldyRoyal]

Lorem ipsum is text used by publishers and the like as place-text when designing layouts when they don't yet have the actual text. As far as I know it doesn't actually mean anything (corrections?) but is simply there to act as stock text.
