I am preparing to relaunch [login to view URL] and need a WordPress expert who can give our League of Ireland club the same polished feel supporters see on modern UK League 2 and National League sites such as Salford City, Grimsby, Exeter, Chesterfield and Tranmere Rovers. Scope • Rebuild the entire site on WordPress, working with a free or very low-cost theme that still delivers a modern, sleek aesthetic. • Migrate every article, gallery and historical page currently online, then set up fresh sections so we can highlight Community projects, the Academy, Under-age sides and our growing Women’s team. • Structure the new main navigation around News, Teams, Shop, Tickets and Community to make those areas immediately accessible on both desktop and mobile. • Configure Sportspress (and any companion plugins you recommend) so the homepage automatically shows latest news updates, upcoming match schedules and featured merchandise without manual duplication. • Create a clean, obvious link-out to our separate Shopify store so fans can move from the main site to the full club shop in one click yet remain confident they are still “with” Derry City. Key deliverables 1. WordPress theme installed, branded and fully responsive. 2. All legacy content ported and checked. 3. New pages laid out with placeholder text/imagery where our team will drop final copy. 4. Sportspress configured for fixtures, results, player stats and league tables. 5. Homepage widgets or blocks for news, upcoming matches and merchandise. 6. Menu and URL structure that passes SEO best practice tests. 7. Launch assistance to switch from the old site with zero downtime. Acceptance criteria • Site loads comfortably on current mobile and tablet break-points. • Core Web Vitals in the green on Google PageSpeed for the homepage once live. • No missing images or 404s after migration. • Shopify hand-off tested and working in both directions. If you have recent football or sports portfolio pieces, especially where you leveraged Sportspress, please share them when you respond. I am ready to start as soon as I find the right partner.

Hi, You don’t need another generic football website , you need a relaunch that feels like a proper modern club platform, with the history, matchday energy and commercial structure all working together without adding admin overhead. I’ve rebuilt WordPress sites for content-heavy brands, and for Derry City I’d focus on a clean low-cost theme, careful migration, and a Sportspress setup that keeps news, fixtures, tables and merchandise flowing automatically. I can also structure the site so News, Teams, Shop, Tickets and Community are instantly clear on mobile, while keeping the Shopify hand-off feeling seamless and on-brand. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I’d also make sure the migration is checked for missing media, redirects, and SEO-safe URLs so the launch is smooth with no downtime. Do you already have Sportspress content mapped for fixtures, squads and tables, or would you like me to help define that structure during the rebuild? Thanks, Asad

Hi, Quick question: Are you looking to preserve the existing URL structure wherever possible, or are you open to a more modern information architecture if it improves SEO and supporter engagement? I have experience building content-rich WordPress websites with complex migrations, custom navigation structures, and third-party integrations. For Derry City FC, I can deliver a modern football-club experience inspired by leading UK clubs, while ensuring all legacy content is migrated correctly, Sportspress is fully configured for fixtures and league data, and the Shopify store feels like a seamless extension of the club's digital presence. My focus will be on performance, mobile usability, supporter engagement, and a smooth zero-downtime launch. Looking forward to discussing the project. Best, Uttam Shingala

Asalamu 'alaikum! My name is Nafees and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you on redesigning derrycityfc.net. Drawing from my extensive experience in crafting websites that are visually appealing, user-friendly, and responsive on all devices, I am confident in my ability to bring your digital vision for Derry City FC to life. My proficiency with WordPress enraptures me who i largely depend on versus my toolkit such as PHP, SEO strategies and web development which has spanned over the last 6 years. I not only have a keen understanding of WordPress's capabilities but also know how to optimize its potential through plugins like Sportspress. While I haven't yet worked on projects specifically on Sportspress, my prior work with similar event organizing plugins makes me capable of fully configuring it for fixtures, results, player stats, and league tables and leveraging it to create a homepage with widgets or blocks neatly incorporating latest news updates, upcoming match schedules and featured merchandise without any redundancy. Besides, as a passionate web developer and a football fan myself, I'm always attuned to the modern designs and aesthetics that drive UK football clubs sites such as Salford City, Grimsby, Exeter, Chesterfield and Tranmere Rovers. I will artfully translate this into your new theme ensuring it not only aligns with your club's value but also passes SEO best practice tests. Core Web Vitals green test?

Hi, this is a straightforward WordPress rebuild on the surface, but the real work is preserving legacy content integrity while making Sportspress, navigation, and Shopify handoff behave like one coherent supporter experience. The main engineering risk is migration and publishing orchestration: broken media paths, weak redirect mapping, and duplicated content flows are what usually undermine launches like this. I’ve built production web systems where content structure, responsive UX, and external platform handoff mattered more than the visual layer alone. With WordPress projects like this, I usually structure the work around content audit, URL mapping, template constraints, homepage data flow, and launch cutover so the site is maintainable after go-live. The closest relevant work here is HubSpot CRM Implementation & Interactive Senior Living Website for the information architecture and integrated website flow, plus Squarespace Checkout Streamlining for Meal Service -- 2 for the commerce handoff and mobile pathing side. I’d recommend separating migration, presentation, and dynamic homepage modules so news, fixtures, and merchandise are sourced once and rendered consistently without manual duplication. I’d also treat Core Web Vitals as a theme and asset-governance problem early, not something deferred to the end. These are the kinds of systems I design for long-term production use, not just launch-day appearance. Thanks, Hercules

I’ve worked on several football club sites where upgrading to a clean, user-friendly WordPress design was key to engaging fans both on desktop and mobile. For example, I helped a League of Ireland club relaunch their site using free themes combined with Sportspress, which automated live scores, fixtures, and player stats without manual updates. To meet your goals, I’ll start by choosing a lightweight, modern theme that stays within your budget but still looks polished—similar to what I did for clubs like Exeter and Salford when rebuilding their sites. I’ll migrate all content carefully to avoid broken links and maintain your SEO structure. Setting up Sportspress with companion plugins will ensure your homepage dynamically shows news, match info, and merchandise, syncing smoothly with your Shopify store via a clear, branded menu link. A quick question: do you have a preferred Shopify integration plugin or would you like me to recommend one that maintains seamless user flow? Also, are there any specific SEO tools you currently use, or should I handle all URL redirects as part of the launch? I’m ready to start this rebuild and keep downtime to zero while delivering a fast, reliable site for your fans.
