Essex Rebels
The Essex Rebels are a basketball club based at the University of Essex, Colchester, offering a full programme of events and an end-to-end pathway from the Rebels Roadshow schools outreach programme through to senior professional teams. The Rebels’ women’s team compete in the Women’s British Basketball League, the top level in Great Britain.
While the Essex Rebels had an established social media presence, their old website was merely a page extension of the University of Essex website. This lacked the flexibility required to showcase the team and their players, fans and game schedules at their best.
The Essex Rebels came to us with a clear list of requirements for their new site:
- It should be independently hosted, with their own chosen domain name
- Members needed to be able to update the website as and when required – this was vital
- The site needed to complement the Essex Rebels existing impactful branding
In addition they needed have the new site up and running before the start of the next basketball season, to ensure players, teams, fans and the media were excited, informed and ready for the opening games – a tight deadline.
