Wakefield Trinity Wildcats re-launch new website in partnership with FdA Web Design at Wakefield College.
Following the successful launch of the Wakefield Media partnership with Wakefield College, the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats are pleased announce that their web site www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk is being re-launched following a major re-design by the College’s Media, Art & Design Department.
The re-vamped site has been designed and installed by Wakefield College’s Foundation Degree in Web Design Course and it was their students who used the project as part of their course work.
And the new look web site went live on Monday 14th June.
Francis Stephenson, the Wildcats’ Director of Operations, said: “Web design is constantly changing and we wanted to be at the forefront of the new developments.
“Wakefield College and the Wildcats have recently launched a Media Partnership and the initiative to re-vamp the Wildcats web site came out of the discussions about the Partnership.
“We’re absolutely delighted with the end result and we believe that our fans will be equally pleased with the site which is both attractive on the eye and user friendly.
“I would like to thank our partners in this project Wakefield College as well as Steve Smith, the Foundation Degree in Web Design course co-ordinator at the College, and his team for all their hard work.
“It just goes to prove that firmly based partnerships within Wakefield can produce excellent results for the end users and we hope that the College are just as happy with the Wildcats new web site as we are.”
Steve Smith added: “The opportunity to work with such a prestigious client as the Wildcats doesn’t happen very often, so when we discovered they would be interested in a new website, we jumped at the chance to provide it for them.
“Such projects take learning out of the classroom and into the real world, and provide the students with invaluable commercial experience. They’re exactly what Foundation Degree qualifications are about.
“I’d like to thank Francis Stephenson and the Wildcats for having the confidence to commission us, and to compliment the website’s development team of Tim Stringer [pictured above], Greg Carrick and Sam Harris for producing such an outstanding result.”
Tim Stringer, who led the development team, concluded: “Working with external clients like the Wildcats has really helped me put the things I have learnt on the course into context. It's not just the formal web and design skills either, there are many other employability skills I've gained without realising it.”
