Project Overview

Lions FC is a custom WordPress website developed for a British football club, providing a central hub for all club activities. The platform serves multiple audiences—players, coaching staff, and supporters—with features ranging from team rosters and match fixtures to news updates and club information.

Client Background

Lions Football Club needed a modern, professional web presence that could grow with the club. The existing digital presence was fragmented and outdated, failing to engage supporters or provide useful information to players and staff. The club sought a unified platform that would reflect their professional standards and community spirit.

Challenges

Developing a comprehensive football club website required addressing diverse stakeholder needs. We needed to present team information across multiple squads and age groups, manage and display fixture schedules with results and standings, create an engaging experience for supporters while providing utility for players, ensure easy content management by non-technical club staff, build a mobile-responsive design for fans checking scores on matchdays, and integrate with social media for extended reach and engagement.
