Hibernian FC Unveil Brand-New Website By Urban Zoo
Hibernian Football Club have launched a new website which underpins their commitment to driving forward innovative communication and access to content for fans.
Aimed at creating a first-class user experience for Hibees all over the world, the new website provides supporters with greater access to all the latest Hibs news and content.
The new Hibernian FC website has been completely redesigned to make navigation more seamless, alongside giving supporters a greater insight into matches and player stats through an Opta integration.
Alongside this, the new site offers increased accessibility features such as a screen reader, an option to increase text size, pausing of animations plus many other user-friendly options. Hibs are one of the first clubs in Scotland to have this feature and offer this level of accessibility for supporters.
Working with sports technology company Urban Zoo, Hibernian FC is also in the process of building the club’s first official app, which will be available on iOS and Android later this season.
Hibernian FC’s Head of Communications, Adam Tomlinson, commented: “We’re always looking at ways to drive the club forwards digitally whilst improving our communication with supporters.
“Over the last two and a half years we’ve implemented a digital and communications strategy that has been focused on engaging with supporters, being innovative, and giving fans extra access into our Football Club, and the launch of the new website continues us on that path.
“This has been a really exciting project for the club and the upcoming launch of Hibernian FC’s official mobile app will be another big step forwards. It’s always been vitally important for us to create a platform where fans can easily access club news and content across any device, as the connection between fans and the club is vital.
“Lastly, I’d like to thank Urban Zoo for all their support during the build process. Their willingness to keep progressing and developing the platform is really important in terms of future-proofing ourselves and being able to continually offer our supporters greater access to all the latest club news and content 24/7 on any device.”
