Shrewsbury Town Foundation launches new website built by Shoothill
Shrewsbury Town Foundation are delighted to have launched our brand-new website, designed and built by Shrewsbury-based digital technology group Shoothill.
The site, now live at foundationstfc.co.uk, allows families, schools and partners to delve into the work that the Foundation do throughout the local community and offers a way to get involved and support the official charity of Shrewsbury Town Football Club.
The launch extends Shoothill's long-standing partnership with Shrewsbury Town FC. Shoothill already provides the club's managed IT services, built Salop1, the club's integrated digital platform, and developed its website and supports its search performance. Bringing the Foundation onto a Shoothill-built platform connects the charity's digital presence with the wider club.
Shrewsbury Town Foundation reaches more than 5,000 people and delivers over 12,000 hours of activity each year, generating an estimated £5.4 million in social value. The new website brings that work together in one place, from football sessions, to mentoring within higher education and employability, to health and wellbeing hubs.
Shoothill rebuilt the site from the ground up with reliability as the starting point, drawing on the same experience it brings to the club's infrastructure. The new platform is stable, fast and easy for the Foundation's team to keep up to date themselves, so news, programmes and events stay current without technical support.
The design puts the Foundation's work front and centre. Clear, interactive menus guide visitors straight to the right area, whether they are looking for a Holiday Club, booking a pitch at the Croud Meadow, or planning a birthday party. Each section is laid out simply, works well on mobile, and makes it easy to get in touch or donate.
Shin Aujla, Director at Shrewsbury Town Foundation, said: "Our website is often the first contact people have with the Foundation, so it has to work every time. The old site let us down too often. The new one is reliable, looks fantastic and makes it far easier for families and partners to find what they need. Shoothill already knows the club inside out, so they understood what we do from day one and built something that reflects it."
Simon Jeavons, Group CEO, at Shoothill, said: "We're proud to work alongside Shrewsbury Town, so supporting the Foundation was a privilege. Its work across Shropshire is an asset to the community and the website should make all they do easy to find and engage with. As a Shrewsbury company celebrating 20 years, it's a pleasure to back a local charity with such a strong community impact."
