More recognition for evertonfc.com
The site, developed by Merseyside-based agency Ripple Effect, scored 480 out of a 500 for design, content, functionality, usability and standards compliance and was recognised alongside the San Francisco 49ers Stadium website in the sport category.
Mark Rowan, Everton's Head of Media and Communications, said: "This award is welcome recognition for the hard work and effort put in by everybody associated with the official Club site. We have a strong, talented team who work on the site to deliver engaging, informative and varied content.
"We are constantly striving to improve and enhance our offering and it is hugely satisfying that those efforts have been recognised in this way."

What's more, TW and GOT always seemed to break news sooner than the OS.
Having said that – I could be out of date – I haven't looked for two years or so – since the compulsory video started. Everton are blessed with a number of much superior fan based sites, so no need for me to look at the OS.

I agree with Chris re the videos playing in the background automatically on the main site. Very, very annoying.
But overall the Club's web-based communications are pretty good and have improved over the last few years greatly.

I wait until I hear otherwise and check it out. I did, after my post, ... it hasn't changed. It's still too bloated, cluttered and memory hungry. The OS can be what it likes, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. If memory serves, I stopped looking at it after it had won a previous award too.
My post would be more ridiculous if I withheld the fact that I hadn't looked for two years, and had expressed a dishonest and invalid opinion. I do not believe that my honest account is 'ridiculous' - but will admit to it being limited to the latest available sample of data. If you want to waste a post saying my post was ridiculous, then it is your choice.
My opinion, that I will "spend my post" saying, is that TW is much, much better.

It is a well developed site though.

Also, people are always talking about how the club doesn't do enough in taking advantage of PR opportunities outside of the UK. Well, we need look no further than City's youtube channel, it's genius, and very easy to shoot and edit; I'll even go out on a limb and say fun! I watch them all the time. I get pissed when I see the media recycle video content from last season, when it's obvious the players are wearing LCS, while other clubs may as well get live streams of their training. That's the type of viral content an 'intern' could work on. Wouldn't cost much either. Just a few thoughts on the matter.

I have been a Blue for 40 years and this is the first season I have been unable to go the match due to ill health but am getting better and hopefully be back after Christmas. My nine-year-old goes the games with a friend of mine and gives me the rundown which is good but then I go in here and read the news the rights and wrongs of the game and other issues concerning my beloved blues and that is why am thanking the ToffeeWeb lads and all its members for keeping me up to date
I hope to be back with you all in the New Year...
Thank You.

At Bolton we got hijacked and had to listen to the radio commentary in some pub, I think you and your 2 friends got in to see the match! Get well soon regardless of whether you are the same person.

I never found the site particularly special to be honest. However I then went on a few other club sites. Chelsea, Man City, Spurs...they're all awful. Brimming with adverts and so difficult to navigate. Fair play to EFC.
