pretty poor. no excuse for the lack of digital information from any of the franchises
waitak are silent as usual. kick them out if they can't start promoting the game properly
piss poor from hamilton wanderers given they are new to the league, they're just re-posting stuff articles on facebook. apparently they have some problems with their domain, no excuses. do they have problems with facebook and twitter too?
eastern suburbs official page is terrible, but at least they have one and their promotion through player signings is cool
tasman are doing well but need their own website. i would have thought this would have been one of the first things any new franchise would do, but they are doing well
TW and ACFC kicking butt
as a neutral (pretty much) what is the issue with the Suburbs page, just curious as I am helping them out with comms so keen to see if there is any areas that can be improved easily.
hi chopah, IMO mainly the poor design and navigation, but also there is a real shortage of SS prem info and it's difficult to find
for example here is the page titled 'ss premiership' http://www.easternsuburbs.org.nz/sspremiership2016... empty
do some tests, try pretending you don't know who the first team coach is and use the web site to try to find out. try to find out who's on the playing roster or who's signed this week. try to find out where and when the first games is. i'm sure it's all there but high priority info needs to be thrust in front of visitors
football club web sites are not easy because they have to develop community, information, profile and news. people will come mainly for information but if you can get them engaging through the website (news) and checking back regularly, the web site becomes more effective
this is a great example of how a club's web site could be effective http://www.arsenal.com/home. granted they are mainly concerned with the EPL team, but everything is there and easy to find
thanks for the feedback - I do know they are trying not to make their website SSP dominated as they want to recognise it's only a small part of their existence as a club so I think the lack of SSP all over their page is on purpose - but as for the blank page that's not ideal.
I think the match day program will be interesting and once they have worked through their naming of the team stuff they will post a lot of that stuff on the webpage.
