Hi Demon,
It takes a long time to develop a website all of the pages have to be concepted and approved and then building them. there are over 30 different designs for different pages within the new website.
The club wanted to launch the new website on 21st June (to run parallel with the we beleighve campaign) which ment it had to go live with the features such as the news pages, fixtures and being able to buy a ticket also the links had to be in place to LISA and the club shop as well as our sponsors being displayed and links to there website. All this was achieved and was done for £0
The roll out plan for the new site is below and you should start to see upgrades every couple of days or so with the website full complete by 19th July.
It terms of this doing the club no favours i strongly disagree it has all the basic features to function including some new ones such as twitter feed, sponsors advertising and bigger and better news information on the home page. I agree content is important and this will follow shortly however the above mentioned is far more important at this time to enable the site to go live.

This site has been built for £0 cost to the club if you know how much websites of this standard cost to build you will see what a saving the club has made
