NEW WEBSITE - What's it all about.

alanrussell183



In mid December we suffered an issue on the old website platform and server where our bandwidth - similar to your monthly data allowance on mobile contracts was eaten up by something and someone very naughty that won’t be getting a Christmas card in the future to say the least.

Our web server company was able to help after 5 days to get the .com website back online but right in the middle of a very busy period it's vital to be online for those all important tickets so as a new look and new approach for 2025 was already under construction thankfully, with www.dreadnoughtrock.co.uk waiting in the wings 75% complete I had no option but to rush it into service.

With just enough info, our new way of listing live shows along with all the info needed to keep you updated to be the ONE and ONLY place to find out What goes on at Scotland’s Longest Running Rock Club every weekend of the year rather than hopefully seeing something on our social media streams which is getting like taking a shot in the dark now.


All .com traffic simply now heads to .co.uk so no matter what you have saved or enter all roads lead to the same place now.

The new site has slowly been expanding since mid December to how I want it and now have time after a mental festive period will aim to have all the new segments online by end of January, I hope.

Any feedback is always welcomed but please bear in mind it’s all done in house so some spangly idea might just not be within the realms of my ability but will give it my best shot.


So…. the main aim of the new platform is to let you browse alot easier especially on mobile as the old platform had reached the end of it’s ability after 15 years of use which had become very hard to keep up with demands of the mobile based era where over 90% of people look at the website on a phone and tablet now.


I wanted and think delivered a better custom live show listing that shows a calendar based listing on the home page and a traditional list on the live shows page rather than rely on ticket agents widgets or lists which were getting limited towards the end.


All these changes will hopefully allow you to get more info to you via the many pages of detail, regular blogs and buy tickets easier on our new prefered ticket platform in 2025 which will be UNIVERSE. (More to follow on that)

The new site has individual event show pages contained within the new site that I’ll be able to share out links to on social media platforms (you will be able to share too) also which will help me see how popular a show is looking as that will be vital in the year ahead.


Our Club Merch has now also all been rolled into the main site now too rather than a 3rd party platform that we had used previously.

Again way easier to find and order through all still safe and secure as we don’t keep any payment info being all handled by paypal.


Even simple things like a live chat function in-site rather than email or message via social media will allow any simple questions be answered more quickly.

Mind to put a real and correct email address in though as many have already used really inventive made up ones. As I don't intend to be online 24/7 the system will let us both know when a reply has taken place and working very well already in past week.


So please keep an eye on the site regularly as the first and main place to look as social media platforms slowly descend in adverts and things you just don’t want to see. Love it or hate it we’ll still have to use all the platforms at our disposal but would really like everyone to hit the website first to see what a great venue and shows is on offer every weekend.

More things are and will develop in the weeks ahead.


I'm already cracking on with a method of showing some great shots, video’s of nights and shows in the past in GALLERY that you might have been at or missed.
