The challenge

Yatton junior football club required a new website designed to field enquiries, provide details about the club and promote events.

My responsibilities:
I was responsible for recommending the domain name and WordPress as a content management system. This enabled the club to post updates about events and activities. Additionally I created page layouts and built out the website design in WordPress.

Collaboration:  Working closely with the club secretary to implement content ideas and ensure the website was easy to update and manage.

The approach

1 – Initial design

I decided upon WordPress as this allowed the club to edit the content themselves to promote future events and game days . After this had been agreed i worked on a simple homepage to convey some ideas and some club identity using photographs from their facebook page. I used the football club’s existing content to help plan out the layout. This acted as a talking point to discuss content options and features accordingly.

I worked with the club to decide the navigation and content accordingly. As a starting point a simple one page website was agreed which met the main reasons for the club to require a website.

1 – Key facts, a background of the club the people involved and their philosophy.
2 – Enquire about spaces, the club has many emails and facebook messages about their child wishing to join.
3 – Sponsorship, encourage local businesses to sponsor a team.

4 – Visit the club, provide contact details and locations of matches.

The first phase of the club website is now up and live. It will evolve over time as the club. Take a look at yattonjfc.co.uk
