EnderMB Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 https://beta.bcfc.co.uk I know a couple of the guys that worked on this, and they've got a good reputation, so I'm glad to see someone that knows what they're doing working on the site. In my opinion, it's night and day. This looks and feels so much better than our current/old site. Hopefully Bristol City will continue to pump resources into it, and improve other parts of the user journey along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 First impressions on iOS are much better than the old site. Then again that didn't take much doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 16, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 First impressions - it looks much better and more user friendly One thing I never understood on the old (current) site why the latest news story was often one of the smaller blocks on the right rather than in the middle? Will be interested to see about the subscription for viewing games outside the UK, as we were one of only 11 clubs that hadn't signed up for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Looks good. Works well on my Samsung S7 Edge. Highlights also look good, although the camera work on the u23s isn't great, but that is more to do with how and where it was filmed though.

ExiledAjax Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Definitely a great improvement on the mobile, you start with the lead story and as you scroll down you get, one at a time, other things of interest - that works very well. On desktop I'm not so impressed. Feels like they missed a trick and have just moved things around a bit rather than change the entire structure and layout of the site. Maybe I'm being picky but it feels very busy - there's a lot of articles, tables etc all jostling for your attention. Perhaps it could have been streamlined a little. Something like a nice big home page in red and white with some good but subtle branding (possibly watermark style so its there but doesn't dominate) then clearly displayed info re the next match info with a link to tickets, the league table and the one top news story. Everything else can be behind menus or scrolling. Just some thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't control when stuff goes up on the old site but we do on the new site, That's why it will be more up to date, and one of the reasons we wanted out of the EFL contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it takes a lot longer to update and publish, hence why you'll see our new site updated so much quicker. New site = instant; old site = up to seven minutes to publish a story!

Bristol Rob Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Notice there is a handy 'sports' link to the other teams in the Bristol Sport stable, but the same doesn't seem to be true of the other sites that would allow you to navigate to the City webpage.

In due course the other sites will take on the look and feel of our site, and therefore will have that function. Regards, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been the process throughout anyhow, with surveys gathering feedback and regular meetings with a website working group of supporters.
