New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

Hi All.
The club has began plans to rebuild the Accrington Stanley official website. (please see link for full story Accrington Stanley)

As users of the website, I would be delighted to hear your thoughts, suggestions and ideas for what you want to see on the new site and it will be more effective to incorporate at this early stage. A great amount of reseach has gone into the existing design brief, but I am always open for new ideas and possiblities and this forum seems to be the ideal platform for discussion.

I'll log back on next Friday (4th June) to collect the posted ideas.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts

Martin

as long as it doesn't go the way most football club websites were you have to pay x amount of money a month to view videos etc!! rip off!!

Shame, the preview looks like generic CSS template crap.

The new logo has a retro, understated class about it and yet the site is all gradients. A layout such as this Ctrl+Alt+Del with the styling of this The Independent | News | UK and Worldwide News | Newspaper would look and function brilliantly.

As for functionality keep everything there already is, it looks as if the previous result, next fixture feature has been dropped which is a shame.

Improve on current features by doing things such as grabbing stuff from wikipedia for the player profiles.

Use BBC feeds to update the fixtures/results automatically after a game rather than doing it manually.

Twitter/Facebook/RSS for all news/marketing.

Beyond your brief however a good feature for attracting the young fans would be to create some Stanley branded games.

Preview? SamF, are you basing all your comments on looking at that tiny half-a-screenshot in the fishy article which I can barely see, or am I missing something?

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

I agree with Samf on the layout etc

1. new modernised layout
2. more detailed player profiles
3. match pics (shouldnt really have stopped uploading them)
4. make it easier to navigate

:)

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

Gribbster, the player profiles section is something I'm working on as we speak!

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

Not enough in depth stuff about the players, what goes on in training etc.

I like the idea of commentary on away games which is something that was being looked at, player interviews using real player, more behind the scenes stuff on a day to day level.

Sometimes the site can go days without anything of any note appearing on the site:(

Needs to be kept fresh and up to date:)

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

Also everybody else seems to have the scoops & headlines before our own website:o

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

match commentary would increase interest in the site, regular updates on all content.the current site is stale.definitely missing Kipax`s matchpics!!!!

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

no arguement from me on that score, hope kipax comes back at some point, well missed.:)

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

Just update the info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sent an e-mail 12 moths ago and still things aren't updated.

Reserve results, contacts, positions etc

Pls check EVERY page and ensue they are correct!!


Start there and update DAILY, it's not rocket science, We'll leave that to King Coley:):)

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

Bring back KIPAX with his superb photos of matches and fans....Brilliant :):):):) but sadly missed....:mad::mad::(:(

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

the club are/were still being supplied match and fan pics of the games - just haven't used them for the website.

stop using the News section just for asking or advertising. It seems as though the website only ever wants money off the fans.

Update every day


ensure that each page is current and accurate.

this (current) seasons stats available. I want to know at the push of a button how many yellow cards each player has, how many goals/appearances each one is on

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

I agree to get match pics back online is a priority !

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

do we really need this?

Tuesday - Jimmy Ryan and Chris Turner go for a run around the field and then stretch their quads.:rolleyes:

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

hope they were wearing crash helmets:D

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

I know there were difficulties with the ASFCTV idea, but it would've been great if we could have got something like that going.

Even if we can't incorporate this properly into the website, why not set up an official ASFC YouTube channel? Even if we can't show match highlights, why not interviews with the players, coaching & background staff once a week? Very simple things that give a lot back to the fans.

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

im doing media at accrington college and we had an opportunity to do something like ASFCTV but nothing ever come about! id love to do that each week.

even if its interviews with coley and the players and pre and post match analysis

would definately be a good idea!

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

The website should have a more professional look to it... all the news and info currently are just on one page with the same heading etc create links maybe not to other pages but to other parts of the website

Player interviews would be a good idea, and pics online are definatly a must.

Overall just spend more time in making it look better, i know if i went on another teams website to gather info for a away game etc and it looked like ours i would think it was really ametuer

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

so when is this goin to be going forward?

maybe a website which actually tells people about players coming and going

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

In a couple of weeks no doubt :)

Re: New Accrington Stanley Official Website - Your Ideas
 

I Agree with the people who thnk match commentary on away games :)
