Group client project


Ok, so this is my first post regarding the group client project we are working on at the minute. Safe to say I am pleased with our groups performance!

Last week we had a meeting with Tim Hatton (Business Development Manager) at Notts County Football Ground. We are required to create a junior supporter's website (under the name of Team Magpies), which is targeted at 7 to 16 year olds.

Below is the complete brief, as provided by Tim:

General comments
We need the website to be attractive to the children who will use it.  Team Magpies is split into two sections: all members are under 16.  Mini Magpies are 0 to 6 years old and Team Magpies are 7 to 16 years old.  Bear in mind that young children will not use the website.

I will be able to supply the copy for the content, but you can populate the different pages and I will amend them as necessary.

Visuals
The website needs to be interactive and fun.  It also has to be less corporate than NCFC Football in the Community and NCFC’s website but still fit visually with Notts County’s family of websites.

The Team Magpies leaflet and the page on the Team Magpies page on the NCFC website give all the information you need to start completing / filling in the copy for the different pages we need.

Content
The pages we will probably need are:
Home
About Team Magpies
News
Games / puzzles / quizzes / competitions
Contact us

This list could be extended – so it would help when you build the website if you could enable us to add additional pages if required.

Websites we like for this age group
I looked at lots of clubs websites but most don’t have a Junior Supporters section.  Arsenal’s is the best of its kind.  See below:

The CBBC website is good for children who are 6 years old upwards

The CBeebies website is good for games for young children, so it would be useful to have some similar ideas for our younger members.

We need to include free football-related games, quizzes, puzzles, competitions etc. 

NB - We need to be able to update the website easily after the website project has been completed.

This will sit on staff desktops, so they can hover above a photo of a colleague, find out their name, click on it for their email address and phone numbers etc.  We need to be able to click on their email address so it opens up in Outlook.

There are about 40 – 50 members of staff at the club and 30 members of staff at FITC.  Not all of these have email addresses.

We need to be able to update this after project completion also to allow for new staff and people who leave.
