Not a dig but at the bottom of the page where there is a section on players containing images, a fair few players are spelt wrong. Also you may be infringing copyright law by using pictures from the official site without prior permission

Otherwise I'd say it looks pretty decent

Thanks for this, I have a meeting with Mr Barber and his team on 17 June, I intend asking him that very question just in case

Are you being interviewed for the manager's job?

From a website design point of view - it's a Wordpress template, so little to comment on there.

Content wise - it's not too bad, people have already highlighted my concerns (copyright etc). If you can keep it up to date and make it a useful tool then best of luck with it!

Why are all the pick up points to the East of Brighton, as far away as Eastbourne. What's wrong with the West? Plenty of fans that way too. Just a thought.

I have a couple of questions. How much did you pay for the site to be built? Roughly anyway. And is there a reason why a responsive template hasn't been used? It looks awful on the phone which is a shame as there are 100s of free responsive WordPress themes out there.

It looks awful on a desktop. As does http://www.sussexwebbuilder.com - the same glitchy, low-res, misshapen graphics.

Not going to comment on the design (mind you having seen the link Bozza gave I would not be employing them anytime soon) but the copyright I will. Unless you are going to get a licence from the club you cannot use anything that is copyright the club or trademark the club. This means the badge (Seagull roundel like Bozza's avitar, which strictly speaking infringes the copyright because it is a seagull roundel image which is what they have TM'd). They asked me to remove the badge from the Album, something I was more than happy to do and one day I must come up with something better than the one I spent 5 minutes making so I could lose the badge. They also requested I remove the old badge, the one that is not round.

It is possible to get a not for profit licence but this can be a lot of hassle.

Having seen your link Bozza I won't be employing them anytime soon, think I will stick with my homespun retro designing :)

In the mid 90s, for a friend, I produced a web site using MS Publisher and the "create web page" option....... Looked just like this!
Please tell me this was done as a freebie?

What a mess.
How many fonts have they used?
The graphics are just dreadful.
Sorry I would ask for my money back.
I can do better than that.
To prove it here are some of mine.

Working on an interesting one at the moment for http://ukip-brightonandhove.org

As I said, that is awful even I could do better and I'm no expert.

I have no expertise in the area but having viewed the site I think I would pay close attention to those who do :nono:

Sorry to be less positive than I would like. The more Albion - related sites the better for me.

" Come on you bluuues!" Was a regular chant from the Goldstone that seems to have died out now.

Yes it was. But we still aren't known as the blues like Chelsea or brum are so why use the term?
Seagulls or stripes surely???

If I was searching for an Albion related site I would never think of searching "blues"
