WEBSITE HISTORY

QPRnet.com started life in July 2001 as something for me to while away the dull summer months without football. Back then the site was called QPR.uk.co, a few years and one name change later and we're still here.  

Back in the summer of 2001 I'd watched a friend build a simple website and wanted to have a go at it myself. I bought a domain and instantly went for something QPR related and put a very simple website together over the next few nights and never though much more of it.  

After a few weeks something odd happened, someone had been reading it and emailed me. Strangely it never occurred to me that people might actually read the site, I decided that if I was going to carry on I'd better put some more effort into it! 

Around this time Simon offered to write the match reports and the site was re-designed with more menus and features than I had originally planned. It looked like this 

After a few months of running QPR.uk.co we were approached by Rivals to take over the QPR site on their network. We jumped at the chance and moved the site across in December 2001.

 

After a year or so with Rivals and thanks to a fall out with the Colombian government (seriously) we lost the qpr.uk.co domain name and were forced to re-name the site. QPRnet.com was chosen as the new name and it went live in February 2003. 

In December 2004, after exactly three years with the Rivals network we moved away to become an independent website once again.

As we entered 2005 the initial design was discarded and the site rebuilt from scratch, we moved away from a frames based template and instead used SSI's to give direct URL links to every page. The forum was integrated into the new design giving the whole site a more complete feel.

The next redesign came about during the summer of 2006, giving the site a cleaner, modern feel.

As we approached the end of the 2006/07 season this design moved into it's next stage, as we incorporate drop down menu's to aid in speedy navigation.

But we didn't like that one much so in the summer of 2007 we changed to the current design which we intend to stick to!

As we move into our eighth season online, QPRnet.com now generates over a million page impressions every month from over three thousand unique visitors.
