22 Jan The Hart On My Sleeve
This is The Hart On My Sleeve–a Watford FC themed fansite designed to provide up-to-date information and content revolving around The Hornets.

This screengrab shows the view of the site when viewed on a tablet–a medium particularly popular when consuming football media. The use of two columns and a sidebar simply means that a tablet view pushes the side-bar further down the page, rather than force the user to scroll across.
The final screen-grab shows the about page with information and a small gallery with anecdotal text and images. For the intended consumer–a Watford fan–this will give context for the site, and hopefully invoke a more personal connection, similar to the one a fan develops for the team they support.
