Well we might be but we play sport too (and its not dungeons and dragons or chess)

Hi there

this is the Homepage i have done for my team:

www.wildboyz-hamburg.de

You´ll have to click the skull to reach the mainsite.
It´s obviously not a club team for league-play, it´s our fun team just for travelling to tournaments.

Just give me your thoughts about it.

[NE14HOCKEY]

its all in belgian 

[controller]

Yes and your the IT person just look at his internet address, that might give it away

[D-Fence]

It is of course German, like the top-level-domain indicates and "controller" probably has recognised.
You could translate the page with google but the translation is rather bad and often senseless.

[NE14HOCKEY]

Just because its got a foreign domain does not mean that its automatically in the same language merely that is maintained or hosted in that country or is aimed at that particular target audience...



I'm just saying I can review the look at thats about it. 

[NE14HOCKEY]

Thought I'd change the discussion to what makes a good club website ie what features does the average club member want to see on their site?

Personal stats? Fixtures, results, match reports? forums? old league tables or titles the club has won in previous seasons?

www.rewhc.co.uk/website... New design... content to come

[NE14HOCKEY]

Thats a very nice club site. Is it running on Joomla! ?

[Si Lee]

It is!

[NE14HOCKEY]

I thought I recognised some of the the feel of it (print icons/pdf etc) how come it doesn't have a powered by Joomla! link in the footer

[AndyGaut]

Done more than me I never get round to removing that it is in the lang inc file right?

[NE14HOCKEY]

You shouldn't really be taking that off, it will be part of the license that you have to keep that in, if it isn't then their daft.

[AndyGaut]

As long as you link them in someway they are usually fine about it!

[NE14HOCKEY]

Very much related to the topic. Please if your club is listed on this page don't take it that I'm suggesting your site is anything short of amazing and any less that 100% what your club wants / needs.

All the clubs listed on www.ne14hockey.com are listed here. The pages that appear display whatever data the club in question has listed. For clubs that don't have a site its a nice free alternative to not having a site for free Its a demo and is currently the only available theme but with more pages/themes to come.
