Exeter University Touch Rugby club

Project Overview

We were engaged to design and develop a custom WordPress theme featuring interactive JavaScript and CSS animations for the Exeter University Touch Rugby Club website.

Exeter University Touch Rugby Club is a dynamic student sports organisation that promotes touch rugby at both competitive and recreational levels. Welcoming players of all abilities, from beginners to seasoned athletes, the club competes in national university tournaments. The new website was designed to strengthen the club’s online presence, facilitate communication, enhance member recruitment, promote events, and showcase team achievements.

Our goal was to build a fully custom WordPress theme that simplifies content management while delivering a visually compelling and intuitive user experience. This project required advanced theme development, the implementation of flexible content structures, and performance optimisation to ensure a fast, responsive and easily maintainable website. Working closely with the club, we ensured the design and functionality aligned with their identity, values and objectives.

Project Highlights

Custom WordPress Development
With our expertise in WordPress development, we crafted a tailored theme for Exeter University Touch Rugby Club. The custom WordPress theme features structured layouts for news, fixtures, results, player profiles and event details, improving the accessibility and user experience of the site’s content.

Custom Theme Enhancements
Using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), we developed a flexible content management system, enabling club administrators to effortlessly update and modify content. This approach ensures a smooth backend experience without compromising the site’s design consistency.

Responsive & Performance Optimised Design
Adopting a mobile-first approach, we optimised the website for seamless viewing across all devices. Key performance optimisation techniques, such as image compression, caching and code minification, were implemented to enhance speed and usability.

Dynamic Content Management with ACF
Through ACF integration, we established a structured and dynamic content management system. This enables club administrators to efficiently maintain their website while preserving its visual appeal and usability. The modular design also supports future scalability with minimal developer intervention.

Engaging JavaScript & CSS Animations
To elevate the user experience, we integrated custom JavaScript and CSS animations, ensuring smooth interactions and enhancing the overall browsing experience. These subtle yet impactful effects contribute to a polished and professional website.
