I always wondered about how the biggest football club in the world is not able to produce a proper user-friendly website to their fans. A football club with nearly € 300 mill. revenues and claiming to be "More than a Club" should be part of the biggest revolution of modern society: The Internet.


The "old" website was not only antique but it also had out of date information. The english speaking version, was even worse. It showed only a part of the original catalan version and the information, if at all, came sometimes a few days later, when it was already out of date.


But this all changed!!!


Since one week Barca has launched a new website and it is great!
For the english version, click here or look at: www.fcbarcelona.com


The first week of the new-look FC Barcelona website has been a huge success, with nearly five million page views (4,736,072) with an average of 13 page visits per user. The figures nearly doubled, compared with the figures one week before. Significant is the fact that the number of unique visitors, 353,201, has nearly doubled as well. The average duration of each visit was almost 7 minutes.


One of the most successful additions to the new site is the inclusion of multimedia content, which have recorded very high download figures. During the first week of the new website, some 104,000 videos were viewed and approximately 40,000 mp3 files were downloaded.


FC Barcelona Blog: Finally Barca has managed to give their fans around the world what they need and deserve. The new website is superb and up to the standard of the club and their supporters. Well, done!

Now, keep updating, developing and bring the english version on the same level than the original catalan version!
