It's done by FLi, as a web designer myself I can see how they've tried to make the new site more intuitive and interactive but don't think they have done it very well. I wonder who their contract is with, the way it's designed isn't bad but like the previous site it exudes cheapness. 8/10 for effort 4/10 for execution.
*rant*Having done web design, the fundamental rule before rolling out a live site is ensure that it is portable across browsers. IE sucks quite frankly and anyone that uses it outside of being forced to at work needs shooting imho*/rant*

Good point - I did some system testing on websites - pain in the ass to have to do every test 3 times - IE, Firefox and Chrome.

then you also need to test it on the older versions of said browsers!
I hate IE.
It's a million miles better than what it was, but still a bit of a template fit for us. I.e. quite limiting in what CAFC need.

Some of the fonts look a bit dodgy!
Oh yeah, that's right. After we'd tested it in the latest IE version we had to re-run the tests in the previous 2 versions. I was surprised at the differences we found... but I guess this little discussion is putting everyone else to sleep so I will say no more.
Olly, doesn't seem to want to log me in, tried IE, FireFox and Chrome. I requested a new password to be sent to me but now it's not even recognising my email address.
You can win an Ipad on it – allegedly. Three pages of info but nowhere to click to win! :-{
On the site is says: "To enter the draw, sign up to Charlton’s official club newsletter. By registering for the newsletter and entering the prize draw, fans agree to the league’s terms and conditions".

The link to the newsletter is at the very top of the website. I've edited the story to make it clearer
Looks better than the old one but you still can't buy tickets.
Yep tried and couldn't so had to phone and pay the £1 booking fee
If you're a member (Red Card holder, so every season-ticket holder), you can buy tickets online as you've always been able to do via the members system.
Non-members will again be able to buy tickets online shortly.
I like it. Still needs a bit of tweaking in a few places (longer stories over lapping pages/the badge in the corner) but navigation and ease on the eye is alright

Very fussy in execution...looks nice but isnt user friendly.
Well I do not like the new site, and also I have problems getting past the firts page. When i try to get into the second page I fail to download it I get message about a long running script on the Charlton site that stops me down loading it. Does any one have any ideas what I can do to sort this out. I am not a computerbuff.

Don't you get a message saying "long running script, do you want to continue yes/no ? "
Click on no & it should download.
I think the long running script is because there is so much info, pictures & colours.
It also says at the bottom of page 1 that they have had technical issues since Saturday. Seems to be running slow to me & when I clicked on ticket news, it defaulted back to page 1.
New site doesn't work on a smartphone and the page on mobile use suggests downloading the FL app which appears to have no Charlton content in it - News being completely blank - at least the old site had a reasonably good mobile template for latest news and match reports
Tickets still on the old old system which only works with IE!
Pretty shoddy all round in my opinion - would be interesting to see if they did any user research before building the new site - stats show that smartphone web usage is the fastest growth area in the web

Just think the font looks as if it's still loading and will appear clearer any moment now. But no.
