Air Creative wins web contract for City of Salford Community Stadium
The new City of Salford Community Stadium has appointed local agency Air Creative to work on its website.
Air teamed up with Manchester digital agency Project Simply to fight off other pitches from Norh West rivals.
The website, which is due to launch in September this year, will promote the leisure, business and community facilities that will be on offer at the stadium when it opens in February 2012. The venue will also host the Salford City Reds rugby league team.
Air said the scope of the work was substantial, encompassing " complex external and internal booking systems, accounting integration and a host of on site functions". It is using the open source CMS platform Wordpress.
"This is a significant win for the agency and our partner Project Simply," said Air's managing director, Paul Barnes.
"We both look forward to developing a truly World Class website that promotes the superb events and facilities that will be provided, whilst at the same time establishing local pride throughout the community and a sense of ownership for the stadium."
