Carlisle United are delighted to launch its new official website.
Built in partnership with Other Media, the new site will enable the club to improve the way we can engage with supporters.
It will also allow the club to have greater control over the way the website looks after leaving the EFL Digital collective.
A new Carlisle United app will also be available shortly, which will allow fans to buy tickets, buy merchandise from the Blues Store and view website articles all in one place.
The launch of the club's new CUTV subscription video content service is planned for the start of July, which will be the home of the latest videos from the club as well as being the place to stream content and matches (subject to EFL broadcast deals) and get access to audio commentary when it is available.
Chief Executive, Nigel Clibbens said: "We are really excited about these developments. The website is the first of three key projects which will transform our communication and the engagement experience for fans. These are major developments for us that, before the takeover, were not options and have been delivered in quick-time. Credit to Amy for leading this and James for his hard work too.
“The new website will be followed by a new app and new service for video and live content - CUTV. These new and significant projects run alongside investments to grow and strengthen the media team, which are all designed to make our digital and media the best it can be.”
Digital Content Manager, Amy Nixon said: "The team at Other Media have been fantastic to work with throughout this process, which is the start of a really exciting new journey for the club.
"We are really pleased with the initial look of the website and there are still plenty of things we will be adding to make the user experience even better.
"We will also be integrating a new SSO (single sign-on) service which will enable fans to log into the website, CUTV, ticket site and Blues Store site using one account.
"The launch of the Carlisle United app and new CUTV service will be another step in the right direction as we all look forward to what will hopefully be an exciting and successful season on and off the pitch."
George Crabb, Managing Director from Other Media added, “The launch of Carlisle United’s fresh new website is a fantastic step forward for the club and is just the beginning of a bigger digital project to bring supporters closer to the club.
“The new app, launching soon, will further elevate the Blues’ digital fan experience and unlock commercial options to benefit everyone at the club.
"It’s been great working with the dedicated team at Carlisle United and we’re looking forward to a busy summer and the future ahead."
Full details on the app, CUTV and SSO service will follow shortly.
As with all technology, there can be glitches - please bear with us as the full site switchover is complete.
