Leigh Leopards • Leigh Leopards The Website
In my opinion it was not worth the wait, and we now have something really clunky with no content. The most annoying thing is the Leopard leaping to scratch your eyes out every time you open the website. Surely once was enough, and who wants an extra click just to get to the main screen.
On the main page the scrolling banner is epilepsy inducing with the speed it moves, scrolling the same 3 pieces of information about upcoming matches. Occupying half the screen there is Next Match (Buy A Ticket), Match Report and lastly League Table. Ideally with a club website you want fresh information on a daily basis, only once a week will you want to buy a ticket (many of you are season ticket holders - so only away games of interest). Match report maybe of interest once, or after the Wigan game not at all. The League table is amateurish showing only 10 teams. Was it so hard to fit an extra 2 team onto a table?
"News" is a button so small that I have to put my glasses to find it. The icons are so large that they can only fit 12 items of news per page, which at the moment is fine because they have only managed to write 10. The content is shoddy and childlike, take for example "Lach-ed In Til 2025" the size is different from the other articles and the use of 1 line and then double line
makes
it
very
hard
to
read.
Yet again Leigh have opted to hide most content behind a paywall - Leopards TV. Having seen the limited posting on YouTube, it hardly seems worth the money, besides Leigh should be trying to expand the fan base not maximise the revenue of a few hundred quid.
If Leigh want to increase Revenue streams, then the logical place is the online store. Buying merch from the market always seemed a little un-professional. The range of merchandise needs to be increased, I have heard of people making their own flags and Leopards stickers for the car trip to Wembley. Honestly this is just not good enough. Ellgren have proved to be unable the quantity of shirts and clothing for club with a reasonably small fanbase.
Mid-term scores for the website D-, must do better.
