Latest Project
Hyde Rugby
A Washington, DC high school program that started 10 years ago with kids from the inner city. Since our first graduating class in 2003, all graduated seniors have been accepted to 4 year universities. We focus on building character, community, education and then rugby. 3 of our players have represented the USA on the Boys and Girls U20's and Men's Eagles 7's programs. Our boys team consistently finished in the top 2-3 teams in it's league. Most importantly, rugby is an opportunity to break down racial, socio-economic and cultural barriers

Reviews
when I was looking for a new web design i was approached by Ruckin Rugby who offered their services. our site is good visually and easy to manage. we have a good working relationship and will continue to us etheir services. the company designer is willing to discuss matters from concept to implementation and adjust to my requirements.
Very good experience. The site ended up being exactly what we asked for. Ruckin Rugby worked with us every step of the way, explaining things in a manner that was understandable at our technical level. We were kept involved in the design process from start to finish. Every issue was handled as if it were an emergency even before the site was live. Awesome job!!!!
Ruckin Rugby have listened to what we said we wanted and have delivered our website exactly as we required and have also added to it to make better than we had hoped.
Updating the site has been swift and again exactly as requested.
The Arabian Potbellies Rugby Club are very happy to continue using Rucking Rugby
This was a great project from beginning to end and the team at Ruckinrugby did a great job in answering all our needs. their communication was flawless and there was always someone to answer our queries. they delivered on time, on budget and the site looks great. they made relevant and useful suggestions on how to enhance our site and the team work was excellent. there were very few teething problems at launch, and these were solved very quickly without any impact on our image. I thoroughly recommend them.
Excellent communication from the start and an excellent end product website which is simple to maintain. Throughout our dealings I found Ruckin Rugby to be helpful, professional and importantly able to understand exactly what the club wanted from it's first website. I am more than happy to recommend them to any prospective client.
As the director of the Royal Signals Rugby Club (Army Corps Representative Side) it is important to ensure that 'Communications' with our players were given priority especially as all the players were located across the world, some of them constantly on Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This I believe we can now achieve with ease. Max, approached me with a proposition that met our needs and that of his own conscience. For Max is a former member of the Royal Signals and was an active member of the team in his day! Throughout the whole process from stratup all the way to implementation, he has been a constant stalwart. He holds dear all the Core Values expected. his customer service skills are fantastic and is to be commended on his attention to details, only the best will do. Similar to an Army slogan....."Be the Best".
Our site is slowly being populated by non-technical people and they have the confidence to navigate through a superb yet easy interface. Lots of News stories, match reports, photos and the all important guestbook are critical to its sucess. Success I'm happy to report.
A massive thank you from me on behalf of all the lads and lasses involved in Royal Signals Corps Rugby.
PS A number of other Corps have shown an interest in the product and would also like to experience the sweet taste of having communications around the world! We all hope you achieve all that is yours.
