We are pleased to have recently launched a new website for the KC Stadium, home to sporting teams Hull City AFC and Hull FC, to provide the local community and out of town visitors with detailed information about the stadium, planned events and facilities. The new website, www.kcstadium.co.uk, features an up-to-date events calendar on the home page, a gallery of images and interesting statistics relating to the stadium.
Andy Tate, Bonus Arena Manager and member of the Superstadium Management Company team, explains the significance of the new website:
“I was tasked with the role of commissioning a modern, updated website for the KC Stadium several months ago by our Chairman, Adam Pearson. He was determined that we build closer ties to the local community so we appointed Strawberry to make his vision a reality. As a large sporting venue with a high profile, we felt it was important that our new website not only looked great – but helped users as much as possible.
“You wouldn’t believe the number of calls we used to receive asking for directions and information about events! Our new website is now a great information resource for people either visiting a sporting game, wanting to hire a room or attend a function. It also includes detailed contact information so people can get in touch with the right people first time – instead of having to go through our reception. We are delighted with the work Strawberry has done for us – the design is great and we intend to develop the functionality as time goes on.”
James Greenwood, Strawberry’s New Media Director, comments:
“We were very excited to work on this project – as it’s such an important venue for the local area. We are always keen to promote the great things that are happening in Hull and developing a new website for the KC Stadium seemed like the perfect opportunity! There is plenty going on at the stadium and Bonus Arena so we wanted to create a user friendly, easy to navigate website that included a comprehensive events calendar. We are really pleased with the result and look forward to developing the website further in the future.”
The KC Stadium was opened in December 2002 and has a total capacity of 24,995. It is run by the Superstadium Management Company and hosts a variety of sporting events throughout the year – including from sporting matches, conferences and social events.
