The Challenge

Create a new website for Southampton FC and rebuilt their online store on Sitecore CMS


The Process

Worked in partnership with Delete Agency (UK). Delete was responsible for strategy, design, UX, solution direction and project management throughout the project. Our team was responsible for technical consultancy, architecture & development and QA, support.


Our solution architect ran several workshops with SFC team to understand the integration requirements, and then researched & prototyped integration including client's custom CRM system, sport data providers. We reviewed historical load of the website & projected what would be the required hosting infrastructure. Together with Delete's solution director we created extensive backlog and defined requirements in written specification.


Phase 1 was the main website rebuild on Sitecore platform. It was delivery in 5 months, with development team consisting of 6 developers and QA specialist.


Phase 2 was Retail website built using uCommerce plugin for Sitecore. It was delivered in short period of 2 months with a team of 5 developers, and QA specialist.
