Minibuses across the country proudly state their support for one of the many soccer teams across the country. Whenever a big match is played you are bound to see a bunch of men huddling around a lone television in a shopping mall while their wives and partners engage in some retail therapy. As with rugby, for those not in the know there seems to be a huge amount of tournaments that take place during the year.

The Website Under Review

This document is dedicated to the official website of the Premier Soccer League, psl.co.za, the organising body for the various soccer tournaments in South Africa. The PSL is responsible for the smooth running of these tournaments and they also have the power to launch investigations should there be cases of mismanagement in any of the teams.

Some of the teams that form part of the PSL are well known ones like Kaizer Chiefs and the Orlando Pirates, but the PSL also focuses on lesser known teams like SuperSport United and Silver Stars.

The Target Market

This website psl.co.za is the perfect place for the soccer fan to get more information about their favourite sports team. The top of the page contains all the soccer teams that forms part of the PSL and when you click on the logo you will be taken to a page where you can find interesting details about your favourite team, for example when they were formed, their previous name if applicable and their performance in various tournaments in recent history.

Overview of the Website

This look and feel of this soccer website is vibrant with many links and interesting pages. The home page is quite long and the last part of the page looks more like an advertisement for Absa than anything else, so they might want to reconsider that decision. There are many flash animations on the page which does cause a bit of distraction when you simply look at the page. The top of the page also has a scrolling text bar which contains the latest breaking news, the text moves at a speed which is easy to read.

The home page reminds of newspaper print with four distinct columns, three of the same size and one which is a bit bigger. This format is not kept throughout the website. One thing that does seem a bit off is the size of the Breaking News headlines on the home page. There are three articles on display, but not one of the headings for the articles is the same size. While this might be a mere overlook, it must be corrected as fans of the various teams may think their team is less important because of the size of the heading.

Website functions and website features

There are a number of website features that will entertain the soccer fan for hours. If you missed a number of games you can find the latest results and logs with the simple clock of a mouse. The history of your team or even your rival is also very easy to find and you can entertain friends and family with your new-found knowledge of soccer trivia.

One of the website functions is the detailed page containing information about how you can get real-time information on your cellular phone when your favourite team is playing. There is a step-by-step guide as well as pricing information.
