A design comparison between Leeds United and Derby County websites. URL: http://www.leedsunited.com URL: http://www.dcfc.co.uk/homepage.asp Introduction In this Essay I’m going to review two official football clubs websites, Leeds United FC and Derby County FC. The reason I have chosen this type of site is because I’m a keen sportsman and enjoy football. I don’t support either Leeds United or Derby County but feel associated with both teams as I’m at university here in Leeds, and my home city is Derby. Therefore I'm I can criticize and admire the design without being bias. Firstly I'm going analyze ‘Leeds United’ site then ‘Derby County’ The areas I will be looking into are • Navigation • Style / Design • Layout • Advertising • Colour Scheme • Contents • Download time Leeds United FC Official Website When the address is entered into the browser an ‘enter page’ appears which asks if you would like to play football in a competition at ‘Elland Road’ following the more details link you come across a page where the viewer can enter a team into a six-a-side tournament, but for the pleaser of entering a team you have to pay Leeds united £1000. This I feel is a waste of time as most people visiting the site will be the younger generation and therefore won’t be able to find that amount of money for a competition, and this all before entering into the main site. When I finally got into the site I was bombarded with flashing text and advertising, this I didn’t like as it distracted me from what I wanted to look for, like team information fixtures and results.
