Website updates

Post by Phil » Fri May 13, 2022 2:23 pm

I have a list of updates to do to the website/forum and need your help.

For those that actually know there is a proper website attached to this could you just go through it and see where you think improvements could be made. Things like is the menu clear and usable? could the content layout be improved? are the graphics to your liking and if not what would you like?

Some graphics will be changed anyway and the forum will also receive an update but with such a shortened close season I have to squeeze it all in along with all the usual end of season updates and holidays. All before the friendlies start in 8 weeks time.

All suggestions welcome and also if anyone would like to join the reporting team of Shane, Me, Shane and Shane they'd be most welcome to take some of the load off us. Ta...

I am with the others Phil. Happy as it is. And thank you for keep doing it !
My only criticism is that that the scores and results shown on here rather deteriorated over the second half of the season. Could you please show more wins next season please ?

I use the main site and I have no complaints at all. Good layout and you can actually read the text unlike the main website.

I've asked them to make the text more bold multiple times on twitter to no avail.

The pubs page could do with updating. The map shows The Final Whistle (Harriers Arms) and makes no mention of Weavers on the hill, Beer Emporium and Bear and Wolf. Maybe the link to the map needs updating?

I can't edit the existing one so having to create a new one.

Any other obscureish pubs can you think of?

Much more informative and up to date. I am sure our alcoholic visitors will appreciate it.

On the News tab, the Harriers at the BBC doesn't work btw.

Ta Cal.

I know about the BBC links. They're on all the clubs profile pages and I've never got round to removing them. I do the occasional one when I come across it during research. As for ours I live in hope.

Well done mate. I had a look at their site and could see why they wanted someone to sort it out :elephant: :worthy:

Now I need a new reporter :(
