Lycurgus

The problem

Lycurgus is a volleyball club from Groningen that plays in the Eredivisie, the top Dutch league. Fans come to a club site for the next match and a ticket, and sponsors want to be seen there. Matches, results and standings change every week.

Approach

HardHout made the concept and the design. I built the site, front-end and back-end. The menu has six parts: news, team and staff, competition, organisation, sponsors and contact. On most pages a block at the top right shows the next match with a countdown and a ticket button. The homepage combines the latest news, a man of the match with the score, the current Eredivisie standings and the main sponsor. The schedule has tabs for the Eredivisie, the cup and the Champions League. Players are cards with a photo, shirt number and name, staff get their role. News articles end with a media gallery, share buttons and more news. A row of sponsor logos and a large footer with links into every section close each page.

Outcome

The club got a site where the next match is always in view and the sponsors come back on every page.

What changed

• Next match with countdown and ticket button on most pages.
• Match schedule per competition, with results.
• Player and staff cards with photo and number or role.
• Sponsor logos and the main sponsor shown across the site.
