Overview

edit

The club's website, mcfc.co.uk, was relaunched in July 2009. Unlike the majority of other football club websites, the site does not feature adverts. The website was designed by Poke, and a number of awards since its relaunch.[1]

On 17 July 2013, the club announced the release of ten new websites (effectively just domains of the main website), which would duplicate the content of the club's main website but in a variety of other languages, particularly Oriental in origin.[2] Combined with the previous release of Arabic- and Mandarin-language websites, this makes mcfc.co.uk the website with the broadest global reach of all football websites, serving the official languages to 160 countries and therefore readable by approximately 80% of the world's population.[2]
