SPORTS WEB SITES
ROBBIE STEWART RACING - www.robbiestewartracing.com
Robbie Stewart is a young motorcycle racer from Perth, riding in this years British Superbike 125GP Championships. He was looking for a web site that:
- Would promote him to prospective sponsors;
- Provide current sponsors with exposure on the web;
- provide interested fans with information on his racing, and include things like an image gallery, race reports and championship standings;
TEEGENIUS - www.teegenius.co.uk
The TeeGenius web site allows users to find and book tee times on a huge number of golf courses across the UK. The site had been up and running for about a year, but the client felt that the existing design didn't have real appeal to its intended markets, and also that there were usability issues.
We were asked to:
- Create a new look and feel for the web site;
- Make an assessment of the user experience for each of the main users - registered users; potential members; golf clubs and TeeGenius staff;
- Suggest changes to the user experience to make it as intuitive and straight-forward to use as possible.
In this project we:
- Provided standards compliant html templates with accompanying CSS and images;
- Reviewed the current web site, looking at search engine issues; accessibility; design, look and feel; "usability"; use of content and images; web standards compliance;
- Re-engineered the user experience on the key functions to ensure that each interaction with the site is as intuitive as possible;
TeeGenius incorporated the html and CSS with the existing database and administrative workings of the current site.

We were looking for a company to help redesign our website, both graphically and functionally. Arkose Design were recommended to us, and from the very first meeting we knew we'd got the right people for the job. High quality HTML, stunning visuals, detailed workflow analysis and a flexible solution were all on the shopping list, and we got them all.
Since the redesigned website went live, TeeGenius has gone from strength to strength and we are now the UK's largest online live tee-booking service. Without a doubt the professional looking website has helped us get there.
In addition to the website, we've needed extra graphics preparing, both on and offline, and Arkose Design has always delivered. We'll keep using them for as long as they can put up with our "last minute" demands!
