It has, it looks crap tbh.  The footer with the moving gif is like Geocities in the 90's.

Aye, that footer is absolutely baffling considering we’re the “richest” club in the world

Just realised that some youngins won't even know what Geocities is.

Must be a thin cohort. I'm 60 and haven't got a Scooby either

Really good and some interesting new pages such as supporters clubs, registering interest in new 24/25 memberships and off site match day hospitality at Gaucho’s on first glance.

It looks much better, apart from that footer. Anyway it’s clearly an app like design, so no doubt we’ll have a new app launched soon.

Am I blind or have they gotten rid of NUFCTV?

They will rebrand it, probably NUFC+ and possibly include it in memberships/season tickets, at the very least they will likely go down the subscription route, but we’ll end up seeing a whole lot more content.

No, go on :lol:

 

:lol: sake. okay, I'll try and be constructive though... and it's not me being negative for the sake of it. I just actually care about this stuff.

 

the main navigation on desktop is a horrible user experience, try and scroll down when your cursor is hovering anywhere near those links. it'll automatically open up a dropdown on hover. for accessibility alone, they should probably add some arrow indicators and activate on click, not hover. there's no shadow or sense of depth on the actual dropdown either, so you can't see where it ends and the page underneath begins.

 

2 different accent colours (blue/emerald) is a bit confusing and just feels unintentional.

 

the main carousel is buggy when you start a swipe (text fades out then back in.

 

news and shop carousels are buggy too. start and cancel a swipe, your focus gets stuck in the element and you can't scroll down until you can free it.

 

that's just shit I've found on the homepage in less than 5 minutes :lol: it's basic stuff (imo) that shouldn't be getting overlooked. especially not for how much it's probably cost the club.

 

it's mainly just ui/ux issues, things that are easily sorted with a bit of care and attention to detail. it looks fairly well built beyond that and a decent foundation to work from. I assume it's been rushed out and it'll get a lot better!

I'm glad I was right after my 2 mins browsing.

The ricochet on the footer is laugh out loud funny :lol: Is it one of those 'intended to be so shit it goes viral' things?

 

Overall, the new website gives me bad vibes. Not so much a comment on the design of the site itself as the content they've chosen to foreground.

Thank fuck, I thought you were going to say '100 for SEO is easy' or something :lol: although I guess it is when Newcastle content writes itself. 

 

You sound like the UX lad I work with, it's class. Yeah, I noticed the accent colours being kind of pointless because of how little of it there is and the carousels felt like a barrier for scroll depth but the rest is all you :lol: White feels wrong as well tbh, photos will pop more but it feels a bit overbearing. 

 

I wonder how much of it was client decisions or cronyism.

oh right. well, 100 for SEO on Lighthouse is easy :lol: scoring 100 on technical SEO means very little for actual SEO these days.

Ahh okay, I was thinking it was content SEO, so now I'm wondering how it's possible to score 100 technical SEO while not having 100 for all of the other 3 considering it relies on all of them.
