Introduction
In this Essay I’m going to review two official football clubs websites, Leeds United FC and Derby County FC. The reason I have chosen this type of site is because I’m a keen sportsman and enjoy football. I don’t support either Leeds United or Derby County but feel associated with both teams as I’m at university here in Leeds, and my home city is Derby. Therefore I'm I can criticize and admire the design without being bias.
Firstly I'm going analyze ‘Leeds United’ site then ‘Derby County’ The areas I will be looking into are
• Navigation
• Style / Design
• Layout
• Advertising
• Colour Scheme
• Contents
• Download time
Leeds United FC Official Website
When the address is entered into the browser an ‘enter page’ appears which asks if you would like to play football in a competition at ‘Elland Road’ following the more details link you come across a page where the viewer can enter a team into a six-a-side tournament, but for the pleaser of entering a team you have to pay Leeds united £1000. This I feel is a waste of time as most people visiting the site will be the younger generation and therefore won’t be able to find that amount of money for a competition, and this all before entering into the main site.
When I finally got into the site I was bombarded with flashing text and advertising, this I didn’t like as it distracted me from what I wanted to look for, like team information fixtures and results. From this advertising I found it hard to navigate around the site. The navigation probably isn’t that bad but the way in which the advertising is placed is makes it look unpleasant.
