aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 Just been to the NZGRA website, and found it has all changed. It has changed for the worse, it is nowhere as good as the old one. It looks to me like change for change's sake. I;m convinced these people running the show, sit around thinking up ways to make new rule's and changes to systems to justify their existence. Interesting to see they want to shut down criticism of themselves with yet another rule titled Social Media Policy. It will not work with me. The question I have is, why spend industry money on stupid things like changing a perfectly good website that was working well, to something inferior. No doubt they will all sit around now and spend more of your money on spin and lies as to why the change was needed. Just watch. alltheway!!! and come on ref 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaracer 2 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 Clearly the new website co-insides with the re-brand - Has the slogan always been? "We love our dogs. They love to race." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know Jason, but it seems like a silly idea to me. They may gag LP's, but the wider audience out there won't give a shag about a Social Media policy. come on ref, BackPoonDrinkGoon and jasonmccook1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Sharp 224 Report post Posted June 7, 2017 I don't think it looks to bad but then again I new it was happening cause I read the news report on it that was posted on the 2nd June. It had pics of what it would look like but couldn't really tell the full extent of the changes as you couldn't enlarge them. I like the new logo but they should have kept some of the old site i.e the red background instead of the blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither appear to be an improvement to my eye. How can they be so slow getting video's attached to the results. Re fields, its not a patch on the NSW website for information.

We did something similar last year- rebrand/redesign + change graphics and skins and ours cost around $50,000 so I would say no change from $30,000 The part that cost the most was the design. aquaman 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted June 8, 2017 I presume the whole purpose of all this is to give a new look or image to show how the new setup can stamp their brand. What a shame that the best they can up with is to copy a logo, a brand statement and a new race concept. I can see nothing beneficial to the users and little to impress a browser.
