New Official Site

[SimplyTheWolves]

Ah well, can't use the site anymore because my computer cannot handle it- it keeps crashing and trying to recover the webpage. Such is life.

That's not the web site that's Wolves.

 

[Salisbury Wolf]

Here is the most expensive website to have been designed.

$18m

I doubt it would even be a fraction of that. Utter $$$$$$$$ the costs mentioned on websites.

They have got one thing right though when it comes to appeal and a classy look - 'less is more'

Maybe less costs more so we have gone for more to make a saving! :dong:

 

[hambaps]

I think the new site is crap, clunky and not easy to navigate.

 

[Wolv3nsam]

I agree with Hambaps. Seem to load slow on my browser and I'm having trouble accessing articles.

I have just tried to read the article on our new signing but keeps taking me back to the homepage.

I gave it the benefit of the doubt, but now it is just (limited)style over substance. It fails to let me perform even basic tasks quickly. I find I am constantly clicking things over and over and going in circles.
Wasting my life.....

 

[JamesWolves]

I've made the Wolves twitter aware of it hopefully it be fixed soon

 

[bigbluewolf]

It appears that the majority (just) don't like the new site.

 

[JamesWolves]

They replied !, they checking it out as we speak

Same here - maybe there is no article just the photo?

 

[WakefieldWolf]

Tried it a few times over the last few days, and it's hopeless.

Usually crashes as soon as i try to load a page up, given up on it now. Waste of time.

They only ever do those polls as a way of patting themselves on the back for a job well done, the thing is whenever anyone changes a website people always hate it and soon get used to it and carry on with their lives anyone who thinks bombarded this poll or writing in complaining are just wasting time

 

[Brizzlewolf]

It's part of a dumbing down process to make it totally accessible to all........

No words just pictures.

 

[hambaps]

The daft thing is, i am hopeless at doing websites but i could knock up a Wordpress one in 30 mins, that from a user perspective would be miles better.

We all know however that its done from a commercial perspective.

 

[Wolfie2]

Also having problems in particular screen often goes black when I try to load pages.

 

[wolvesjoe]

Its just more Moxey-inspired crap, basically. Cheap with as many sleazy ways of raising a little bit of revenue as possible. All the icons and adverts and extra clicks required for navigating it also mean a slow loading, clunky web experience, the opposite of what it should be.

He really hasnt a $$$$ing clue how to run a business in a way which creates longterm loyalty and affection from an expanding customer base. A website should be simple, easily accessible, with minimal adverts and free content. That approach would attract and engage supporters and create a reservoir of good will for the club. Instead we have an alienating, annoying experience. It makes me wonder just how much the club can ever progress with this clown in charge, even if we are successful on the playing side.

And just to add a point on the sheer amateurishness of launching a site, which has obviously not been properly tested!!

 

[WasStefan]

How on earth is how the website looks Moxeys fault? get a grip.

Some of the stuff posted in this thread is nonesense.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I nearly got impaled when I popped in to the training ground yesterday and the gate began to close on me.

SORT IT OUT MOXEY

The website is the main interface with the customers of a multi-million pound business and it has nothing to do with the CEO. I value that insight.

Yes, because I forgot Moxey has a degree in web design, doesn't he? he assigns these projects to specialised people, and signs off the cheque - that's it, if anything you should be moaning at whoever deals with quality control at WWFC.

 

[Penk Wolf]

As a former test manager, how FL interactive passed this over to the club, or any other club, in the state it is in is beyond me. The club should be able to get out of the contract with them based on this.

Agreed. It's not even ready for beta

Not even Alpha!

 

[manc_wolf]

it's $$$$e....

the stylesheet's all over the place, some of the images don't load, links that don't work - but it's ok cos the ads all work....

like Penk said, should never have got past testing... they probably only tested it with IE5 or something...

get it sorted Wolves... it's ******* embarrassing...

 

[Penk Wolf]

Bournemouth's seems to work a lot better.

Haha - you win the prize. First person to blame Moxey for something completely out of his hands! Pathetic!

We have an agreement with the Web design people, it is they who designed and implemented this new website, it is they who are to blame for any issues and problems.

Do you think Moxey has a big red button on the wall of his office so he can "turn on" the internet?

I would imagine that the reason we use a 3rd party (rather than design our own) would be more to do with hosting the service, rather than the design. As a number of you have said we could design it better ourselves, but how many of you could host an international web site that has potentially millions of hits every week and would have an availability of 24x7? This would cost quite a bit in infrastructure if we were to do it ourselves, and then you have the cost of upgrading and replacing hardware every xx months.

As far as I know Wolves do not have an IT department, and all software/hardware is 3rd party managed.

 

[wolvesjoe]

Of course the quality of all customer relations is ultimately the responsibility of the CEO. Have you never worked in a business!!!

Moxey would have had final say over approving design and giving the go-ahead to go public. If it was not up to scratch, then he should have pulled it until it was. Simples.

The over-aggressive advertising is also just part of the Moxey philosophy of short-term revenue over longterm building of a base of support, and, as such, comes as no surprise. People need to wise up to the destructive effects of our CEO's approach.

The chief executive at my place doesn't scrutinise my work - does that make her bad at her job?

Stop digging yourself a hole.

 

[wolvesjoe]

Stop apologising for incompetence.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Stop apologising for incompetence.

Stop making things up.

 

[bigbluewolf]

I don't care who is to blame. The website is terrible. End of story.

 

[wolvesjoe]

Stop making things up.

Oh no, not another one!!

Dont tell me you really think that signing off on this wasnt Moxey's responsibility. The main public face of the club and all that? Who else would have final say on something like this? The tea lady? Steve Weaver? I'm curious.

 

[WonderWolf]

Jex Moxey is ultimately responsible but obviously he cannot press a button and fix things.

He will have I'm sure got in touch with the people responsible and kicked ass...

He does though need to show he is receptive to the thoughts and wishes of his 'shareholders' and act on the input gained from the poll and from comments on sites like this.....the site poll currently shows a 16% lead for the 'dislike' option.

So seeing as though we have an identical website to several other Football League teams, you think our chief executive would have the say so on whether the look of this new design would be ok for everyone?

Here, let me help you out of that hole, it appears you can stop digging now.

 

[SimplyTheWolves]

What’s wrong with the design? It's a football club website not a fashion site. OK it's got it's teething troubles but give it time.

He doesn't understand this template concept or the contact concept.

 

[arctic rime]

it doesnt work , pc or app !

 

[OldWolvesfart]

Typical flash in your face don't worry to much about if it works for the majority.

Get it sorted I hope so.
